Topic filter (for shared offers)

RaymiiRaymii Member
in General

How can I set up a topic filter in Vanilla to not see all the shared hosting crap that will be coming? Firefox extension? Personal setting?

It would also be nice to block stupid topics...

    What algorithm would one use to determine stupid?

    Also, how do I filter stupid topics about filtering stupid topics? (Come on, you know I had to ask that)

    I guess a firefox/chrome extension would be good.

    I'll give it a try, when I have some free time to use.

    Just let the user configure it (ABP style.)

    Just insert checkboxes / mark boxes next to the categories list on the template (easy enough to do with a Firefox or Chrome extension, I could even make a GreaseMonkey/UserScript that would give this.) that would disable/enable their visibility.

    Please see my above post (regarding the checkmark/hotmark idea of implementation), alternatively: an options/settings section either on the site (layout), or in the addon-settings section (for Firefox extensions.)

    & If you want to OS collab it, haha. (git, etc.)

    I can create a git repo, ahah no problem, I'll make a first version of it, and then open source it, so everyone can use and change it to their needs. (and even use it on other forums)

    @GoodHosting @gadelhas cool, I'd like to see what the result will be :)

    This might be relatively simple. Vanilla gives each topic its own ID in the HTML. This topic, for example, is:

    <li id="Discussion_38467">

    Some javascript will do. This should be the base to hide when appears in the page.

    <+span class="MItem Category Category-shared-reseller-offers"><+a href="http://www.lowendtalk.com/categories/shared-reseller-offers">Shared/reseller offers<+/a><+/span>

    Remove plus in the tags, as I don't know how to put code there. Don't kill me over this if don't like. :P

    Here's a GreaseMonkey/TamperMonkey script that will hide shared/reseller posts: http://pastebin.com/NghyAjAg

    You can still see the posts by visiting the category link on the right.
