[code 1.5.0] Hide Category bar

[Zulu]

I have a few boards that are only for some member groups.. But this goes for one board at a time, so you'll get a lot of cat-bars on your boardindex if you're an admin/gm.
Here's the fix  , It'll hide the cat-bar, but will display the boards if you put 'HIDE' in front of your cat-name. For example 'HIDEAdmins Only' or 'HIDE My Board'

in Boardindex.php search for:

Code Select Expand

         echo "<tr> <td colspan=\"3\" class=\"catbg\" height=\"18\">\n";
         echo "<a name=\"$row_board[ID_CAT]\"><b>$row_board[catName]</b></a></td>\n</tr>\n";

And put before it:

Code Select Expand

if(substr($row_board[catName], 0, 4) != 'HIDE') {

And After It:

Code Select Expand

}

If you have Collapsable YaBB Installed: (Already Collapsed cat's will look completely hidden !)
 
search for (Boardindex.php)

Code Select Expand

      if ($allowcollapsemod)
      {
         if ( $modSettings['showcollapsedicons'] )
            $caticon = "<img src=\"$imagesdir/collapsed_none.gif\" alt=\"$txt[334]\">&nbsp;";
         else
            $caticon = '';
         $newpost = false;
         $newicon = '';

Add before:

Code Select Expand

if(substr($row_board[catName], 0, 4) != 'HIDE') {

Search for:

Code Select Expand

      else
      {
         echo "<tr> <td colspan=\"3\" class=\"catbg\" height=\"18\">\n";
         echo "<a name=\"$row_board[ID_CAT]\"><b>$row_board[catName]</b></a></td>\n</tr>\n";
      }
And add After:

Code Select Expand

}


Have fun
