Hide some topics via script?

Hi all,

Is there any script to hide some topics under some forums?

I know the procedure to hide a category or forum but not for topics...


Thanks,

Hello bet clever,

See if this is what you want :

Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Title : Your choice
Placement : In all the pages
Paste the code below :

Code:

$(function() {
  hideTopic(1);
  
  function hideTopic(id) {
    var a = document.getElementsByTagName('A'), reg = new RegExp('/t'+id),i;
    for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (reg.test(a[i].href)) a[i].style.display = 'none';
  }
});

Its function is to hide the link to the topic, if it contains the topic id. In the script you'll write : hideTopic(id);

id : the id of the topic. Example https://help.forumotion.com/t136620-hide-some-topics-via-script

/t136620 is where the id is, so to hide this topic's link I'd write :

Code:

hideTopic(136620);

Thanks Ange tuteur but I forgot to say that I just want to hide some topics for guest users but for members, these ones have to be apparent.

Is this possible?

See if this works :

Code:

$(function() { if (_userdata.user_id != -1) return
  hideTopic(1);
 
  function hideTopic(id) {
    var a = document.getElementsByTagName('A'), reg = new RegExp('/t'+id),i;
    for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (reg.test(a[i].href)) a[i].style.display = 'none';
  }
});

I added a condition to the top of the script.

Oh super!!!
I will try it as quickly as possible and keep you informed.

Thanks a lot!

I got a question Ange tuteur.

How can I regroup in one script several topics to hide?

Shall I copy-paste each time the same code you have mentionned for each topic I want to hide or just a phrase?

Thanks,

You can copy and paste hideTopic(); as much as you want.

Here is an example :

Code:

$(function() { if (_userdata.user_id != -1) return
  hideTopic(1);
  hideTopic(2);
  hideTopic(3);
  hideTopic(4);
  hideTopic(5);

  function hideTopic(id) {
    var a = document.getElementsByTagName('A'), reg = new RegExp('/t'+id),i;
    for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (reg.test(a[i].href)) a[i].style.display = 'none';
  }
});

Hi,

Is there any possibility to view the topic for members however for guest users hide the analyses or the text inside the topics?

It will be great if I can leave a message to guest users to ask guests to register to view the content of this topic...

I don't know if it's possible of course but maybe add a condition like the one you have mentioned here:

Code:

{ if (_userdata.user_id != -1)

So you want to hide the content of messages for guests ? Like this :


Script :
Placement : In the topics

Code:

$(function() {
  var guestText = '<span style="color:#F00">Please <a href="/login">login</a> or <a href="/register">register</a> to see this content.</span>',
      a = document.getElementsByTagName('DIV'),i;
  if (_userdata.user_id === -1) for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (/postbody/.test(a[i].parentNode.parentNode.className)) a[i].innerHTML = guestText;
});

The variable guestText is the content displayed to guests when they're logged out. You can change this anyway you want.

Ok super but where shall I put this script ?

I don't want to put this one for all topics but only for some topics?

Shall I put this script in the topic description or under scripts on the CP?

Thanks Ange tuteur

Okay, try this :

Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Title : your choice
Placement : In the topics
Paste the code below :

Code:

$(function() {
  var guestText = '<span style="color:#F00">Please <a href="/login">login</a> or <a href="/register">register</a> to see this content.</span>',
      topics = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
      a = document.getElementsByTagName('DIV'),i,j;
  if (_userdata.user_id === -1) for (j=0; j<topics.length; j++) if (topics[j] === Number(window.location.pathname.replace(/\/t(\d+).*/,'$1'))) for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (/postbody/.test(a[i].parentNode.parentNode.className)) a[i].innerHTML = guestText;
});

I added an array for topic ids :

Code:

topics = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Where the numbers are, is where you'll write the IDs of the topics you want the script to run in. You can add as many as you want, so long as the IDs are separated by commas.

It works perfectly Ange tuteur !

Thanks for this.
