Title: Limit Theme Choices in Block?
Post by: rad1701 on July 25, 2010, 04:44:08 PM: Is there a way to limit the theme choices that members have to pick from in the standard Theme Choice SP block? Besides of course, deleting the themes entirely?

- Thanks!

However the option is only supported in the SMF 2.0 line.

- Thought there might be an easy work around.

Is that acceptable?

Certainly. Love to see the code and what I have to change. Thanks in advance!

Find:
Code: [Select]
if ($ID_THEME == 0) continue;
Replace with:
Code: [Select]
$hidden_themes = array(); if ($ID_THEME == 0) || in_array($ID_THEME, $hidden_themes) continue;
The $hidden_themes array needs to be filled with the IDs of the themes you don't want to show. Example, to hide theme #1,

$hidden_themes = array(1);

To hide multiple themes, like theme #1 and theme #16:

$hidden_themes = array(1, 16);

To find the ID of a theme, try editing it in the admin panel through Current Theme and look at the URL. It should give you a hint.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in /home/treksf/treksinscifi.com/forum/Sources/PortalBlocks.php on line 2348

This is the code I tried to use:

Code: [Select]
$hidden_themes = array(3, 14, 16, 21, 23, 24); if ($ID_THEME == 0) || in_array($ID_THEME, $hidden_themes) continue;

Post by: ccbtimewiz on July 31, 2010, 10:37:14 PM: Huh, instead of:

Code: [Select]
if ($ID_THEME == 0) || in_array($ID_THEME, $hidden_themes)
Try;

Code: [Select]
if ($ID_THEME == 0 || in_array($ID_THEME, $hidden_themes))

Post by: rad1701 on August 01, 2010, 05:24:09 PM: Nope. That's didn't help. Still got this error.

Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in /home/treksf/treksinscifi.com/forum/Sources/PortalBlocks.php on line 2348

Post by: ccbtimewiz on August 02, 2010, 12:51:35 PM: Man I'm out of practice.

Try this instead perhaps?

Code: [Select]
if (($ID_THEME == 0) || (in_array($ID_THEME, $hidden_themes)))
Title: Re: Limit Theme Choices in Block?
Post by: rad1701 on August 02, 2010, 06:18:31 PM: Nope - sorry. Back to this error again.

Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/treksf/treksinscifi.com/forum/Sources/PortalBlocks.php on line 2307

Post by: AngelinaBelle on August 19, 2010, 10:31:58 AM: This one does not seem to have $hidden_themes in it.
Please attach the one you have been working with.
