Hide a category?

Hide a category?
Is there a way to hide a category without doing any mod? Or should I not be lazy and add a hidecategory column into the table?

I see you can hide forums (of course), but it would make sense that you could also hide a category too.

If a category is hidden, how would you ever get to it?

Hmmmm. Good point.

I guess what I meant to say, is it would only appear to those groups who were assigned to it (or a forum under it), just like you do with individual forums.

For example, I have just created a category for my plugin support on macscripts. This category has nothing to do with the whole forum so I would rather it were only visible to those who were assigned permissions to one of its sub-forums.

I hope that makes some kind of senseCrazy

See this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=209866#209866

Basically, you just need to slap:

<%if num_subcats or num_forums%>





<%endif%>

around the category display section of category_list.html.
