Thanks, man.

While I have this thread here, and apparently the attention of some who know PHP, I'm going to work on a couple other mods I have had planned. If I run into trouble I'll be posting it here.

Does this "hook" work by sort of intercepting the arrays, modifying them, and then sending them to the template?

Okay I can't figure it out without spending days and days studying PHP. Does anyone know how I can modify the above code to hide an entire forum category (ID: 45) from the index page, excluding (allowing it to show) for all members in a particular group (ID: 17)?

 

The settings for this hook only allow me to hide categories, forums , and subforums from the index page for all groups. I want to add a conditional to hide it from all but one, or a list of groups.

[teek]

Nested if, excuse the pseudo code:
if(forumIndex != 45){
/* Usual code to display */
} else {
if(groupID = 17) {
/* Usual code to display */
} else {
break
}
}

[teek]

Or compound:
if(forumIndex != 45 && groupID = 17){
/* Usual code to display */
} else {
break
}

Yeah I get the general idea, but I need to know the actual variables/arrays and how to get them.

I think you'll have to find out how to obtain the current user and his group because nobody seems to know how to do that
