This hack adds a yes/no option for forums, to select whether you want to display that forum (or category) on the main page.
I added a "sanity check", so you can't hide forums that have no parent (because then you won't be able to access any of its sub-forums).
I'll get a demo in a few minutes.
Demo::
Installation::
Run this query:
In forum.php (admin folder) replace
with
Still in forum.php, replace
with
Still in forum.php, replace
with
Still in forum.php, replace
with
Still in forum.php, replace
with
Still in forum.php, replace
with
We don'e with forum.php, save and upload.
In index.php (main folder) replace
with
We don'e with index.php, save and upload.
That's it!
