UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Make some forums invisable

Is there a way to make some forums not appear in the list of forums. Maybe a whole category. Im using the Articles Index Add-on Mod and I would like to make the entire category of articles only viewable that way and not as a forum.

Set the forums' access for all groups, save administrators, to "none." If a user does not have access to all forums in any given category, then the scripts hide the category as a whole.

You could always leave out the cat number of the articles - so have the site as Cat=1,3,4,5 where Cat=2 is the articles.

By using an .htaccess file you could redirect / to the full list

And in ubbthreads.php add

if (empty($Cat)) { $Cat = '1,3,4,5';} // added to not show all forums

below...

// ------------------------------
// Define any necessary variables


So if someone went to /ubbthreads.php without defining any Cat numbers it would show just 1,3,4,5 without Cat 2.
