hiding Catagory

[walker]

Is there a way to hide a category so that it isn't visible to users
and maybe just link to it on the side bar

for instance
an archive category

Admin -> Manage Boards -> modify -> Allowed Groups -> remove all

Yes, but I think he is looking for something where it won't show up on the main page of the forum, but there could be a link to it to access it. But yes, it is possible but it would have to be a mod.

You can put it in the BoardIndex template.

find:

Code Select Expand


foreach ($context['categories'] as $category)
{


add after:

Code Select Expand


if ($category['id'] == <the categories ID>)
continue;

That way, it will disappear from the view.

Thanks

That worked just fine 

foreach ($context['categories'] as $category)
   {
     if ($category['id'] == 2 )
         continue;

in my case, as i was hiding category #2 on the index page.
nice easy usefull line--- thanks again
