Geeklog Forums

Could anyone offer me some guidence on editing the centerblock in forum 2.3. I have many users that would like to not see the new posts.. And some that do...
I guess my question is where whould I start on making that option of centerblock on a user by user basis. Or would that cause some problems? Thank you for any help.

i THINK you can create a new group...and only add the ppl that wanna see it. THen, edit the block's permissions and only choose 'group' for 'read' permissions.

That would be a good option to add to the user options and then the user can decide to view it or not

Suggestion for the next release Blaine

or update

Zixent:

Basically you would need to modify code - specifically the centerblock function that is in the plugins/forum/functions.inc file.

You will need to add a check for membership in a group around the logic that executes. As an example - not real code but close Just create a group and add members OR -- create a group of few users that don't want to see if and change the test to be: if (!SEC_inGROUP('snotty_users')) {

That will do it
