The hack itself (hiding forum categories) work. The problem occured when I added a category. Everytime I edited the category section in CP, duplicate categories appeared. I initially had 8 categories...Now it's probably grown over 60+. I can't get rid of the categories nor reduce the number of slots. help

Temporary solution:

I added 7 new categories (started on number 56) as I didn't want to leave the board closed. Hmm...

Upgrade shocked

In 6.7 you can set category styles, delete categories, hide categories, minimize categories, have category desciptions, etc.

With the amount of work I put into the board upgrading is not on the top of my to-do list. I will, however, upgrade when I have the energy again. tipsy

Is there a way in which I can reset the categories that are listed in CP? Isn't there a (vars, .pl or .cgi) file I can edit? confused

hmm, I want to say categories.file or something like that, but I haven't touched UBB 6.4 in a long time. If not that, vars_cats.cgi

That's what I thought too. Unfortunately there isn't a vars_cat.cgi file...The only file similar would be vars_forums.cgi. I also checked a few other related .cgi and .pl files with no luck. I wonder if it's stored in a cache folder? Hmm...

I appreciate the help Ian. Nice to see you still doing your thing here at UBBDev. thumbsup

Any ideas Charles C? laugh

categories.file is in the NonCGI directory, of all places. That's why it's vars_cats.cgi in 6.6+... smile
