UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Favorite Forums

I changed ubbthreads.php into a view Favorite forums only page because it's more practical for the use of my forums. The problem, I can't figure out how to make it so they only see the Categories that they have Favorite forums in. For Example, if you go to http://www.schoolscandals.com/final/ubbthreads.php login: threadsdev / threadsdev you can see that I automatically make forums -1-2- their favorites when they sign up yet they still see the other categories. Any idea how to change this?

You can filter Categories by utilizing the "Cat=0" in the URL.

Set that to Cat=5 and you will see only your Announcements Category.

Cat=5,10 will show Announcements and the AZ Forum.

Cat=5,10,12 will show the CA forum as well.

You should be able to tie a users Favorite boards (U_Favorites in w3t_Users) to the B_Board table (Bo_Number=U_Favorites), and then tie THAT to the w3t_Category table (Bo_Cat=Cat_Number). Take that output, and if they have a Favorite forum in a particular Category, make the URL reflect that Cat. If not, skip it.

Hope that helps.

Makes sense but I have no idea how to actually make that work. Anyone care to jot a few lines of codee?

Working on this.
