Topic: Ignored users: hiding posts on Recent.template.php

[Antechinus]

Just wondering how difficult it would be to transfer the logic/conditionals from Display.template.php to Recent.template.php, so that posts by really irritating mongrels that you are trying to ignore would have their content hidden on both templates. I'm thinking of action=recent, not the unread and/or new replies functions.

I know I can swap the javascript over and add the required id's to whatever post elements on Recent. That should be straightforward. I'm just wondering if Recent can access the ignored logic that Display uses:

Code: [Select]

// Are we ignoring this message?
if (!empty($message['is_ignored']))
{
$ignoring = true;
$ignoredMsgs[] = $message['id'];
}
Can this be done just in the template? Or is it going to need a Sources hack as well?

I'm on my phone at the moment, so I can't verify, but I'm sure you would need to make changes to the query in Sources if you want that to work out properly.

For 2.1?

$context['posts'] holds the following user info:

Code: (php) [Select]

'first_poster' => array(
'id' => $row['id_first_member'],
'name' => $row['first_poster_name'],
'href' => empty($row['id_first_member']) ? '' : $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_first_member'],
'link' => empty($row['id_first_member']) ? $row['first_poster_name'] : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_first_member'] . '">' . $row['first_poster_name'] . '</a>'
),
'poster' => array(
'id' => $row['id_member'],
'name' => $row['poster_name'],
'href' => empty($row['id_member']) ? '' : $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'],
'link' => empty($row['id_member']) ? $row['poster_name'] : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['id_member'] . '">' . $row['poster_name'] . '</a>'
),

When that var gets iterated you can use an in_array on $user_info['ignoreusers'] to skip printing that message.

Code: (php) [Select]

if (in_array($post['poster']['id'], $user_info['ignoreusers']))
continue;
Should be pretty similar for 2.0.

Cool. I'll mess around with it once I knock off a few other things. I was thinking of 2.0.x, but as you say it shouldn't be much different. Might be a good mod for both versions.
