SB-Innovation Hider

**Sazzy** · 24.06.10, 18:44

For a while now, I've been "minimizing" some parts of the forum since I don't speak German. In other words, I wouldn't go visit the German parts of the forum anyway and they're just in the way.

Since the German parts are first and take up quite some room, I decided to make a simple Greasemonkey script to hide chosen parts of the forum. That way, the parts you are not interested in at all, won't be shown!

All you have to do is edit the HideFora array to whatever it is you want to hide! ^^

I can imagine other users might like this too, so I thought I'd share it

Hope you enjoy!

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           SB-Innovation Hider
// @namespace      SB-Innovation
// @description    Hide parts of the SB-Innovation forum that you're not interested in.
// @include        http://www.sb-innovation.de/
// ==/UserScript==

//Fora you want to hide.\\
//Allgemeines is 1, News = 2, Community = 3 and so on.\\
var HideFora = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8];


//Don't edit below\\
HideFora = uniqueSort(HideFora);

var location = "/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td/div[2]/div/table/tbody/tr/td/div/div/div/";

for (var i = HideFora.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
	removeElement( location + "div[" + ( 5 + HideFora[i] ) + "]" );
	removeElement( location + "table[" + ( 3 * HideFora[i] + 2 ) + "]" );
	removeElement( location + "table[" + ( 3 * HideFora[i] + 1 ) + "]" );
	removeElement( location + "table[" + ( 3 * HideFora[i] ) + "]" );
}

function removeElement(ElementXpath)
{
	var alltags = document.evaluate(ElementXpath,document,null,XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,null);

	element = alltags.snapshotItem(0);
	if (element)
		element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
}

function uniqueSort(a)
{
	var r = new Array();
	o:for(var i = 0, n = a.length; i < n; i++)
	{
     		for(var x = 0, y = r.length; x < y; x++)
		{
			if(r[x]==a[i]) continue o;
		}
	
		r[r.length] = a[i];
	}

	r.sort();

	return r;
}

Normally, it should work just fine in Chrome too. I'm not sure about Opera since I've heard it's quite annoying with scripts. It *might* work

great add!
however you can disable selected parts of the forum via usercp by default

**Sazzy** · 24.06.10, 19:03

Hmmmz? I have not seen anything like that in the User CP. Care to point me in the right direction please?

usercp -> edit options (at the bottom)

**Sazzy** · 24.06.10, 19:13

Oh. :( Damnit!
Wasted time >: (

**slikrapid** · 24.06.10, 19:30

not really, you earned some rep

As Instab said, you can already choose which subforums will or will not be disabled in the new posts list via your User CP.

However, forums that have been created ever since we implemented that (for example, the German review section) can't be hidden from there due to a glitch, so your script still comes handy. Thanks for taking the time to write it!

Great work ,keep on

Useful script by the way this option is in UserCP

Maybe you could make a new greasemonkey script for something else,SB-I will change VBulletin version soon
