Geeklog Forums

Hi, On one site I am the only author so I wanted to set the user preferences so that they couldn\'t exclude authors. I changed the $_CONF[\'hide_author_exclusion\'] and it has no affect whatsoever - the exclude items option is still there in the preferences. Does this not work right does anyone know or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Hmm, I\'m not aware of any problems with that option. It also works here on geeklog.net ... Anyone else with that problem? bye, Dirk

So maybe I misunderstand its use if you say it works here on Geeklog.net. When I go to my preferences here it has the items to exclude checkboxes. Thanks, Mark

There isn\'t much to misunderstand with this option, I would think It simply hides the list of authors from the user preferences, that\'s all. Actually, that option was only a hack because the list of authors was so long here on geeklog.net. Blaine made a much nicer, scrollable list that we will probably be including in some future version. bye, Dirk

Dirk, Okay I\'ll blame it on too little sleep Actually I thought it would hide the topics too but it doesn\'t do that and that was confusing me. I resolved the issue by basically commenting out excludeblock.thtml and boxesblock.thtml and that had the desired effect. Thanks for all your help, time, and hard work on our behalf. Mark
