Not sure if this is terribly helpful to anyone, but in order to get the 'Hidden' checkbox of the admin side to have some effect on our CommunityServer forums listing, I made the following changes, which seemed to work. Please keep in mind this is a quickfix I came up with in about 5 min, so it's not necessarily the best way to do things - but we're in a hurry!

 

In the View-ForumGroupView.ascx file (make a backup copy first, of course):

 

Find the <script> section at the top, then find the GetRoomInfo method. Within the first foreach loop, immediately after "ri= new RoomInfo();" - about line 29 - I added (without all the dashes!):

 

-----------------

 

if(lobby.IsHidden) {

  ri.IsHidden = true;

}

 

-----------------

 

Then go down to "public class RoomInfo", and beneath "string _t="";" - about line 53 at this point - add:

 

-------------------

 

bool _h=false;

 

--------------------

 

Then beneath the Tooltip get-setter add a new one like this:

 

-------------------

 

public bool IsHidden {

  get

  {

    return _h;

  }

  set

  {

    _h=value;

  }

}

 

-------------------

 

Then scroll down to about line 170, there's an anchor tag and image tag being loaded up with Chat information. Within the TD tag containing this info, I added the following info (displayed including the TD tags - left out all the A and IMG tag stuff) :

 

--------------------

 

<td class="CommonListCell ForumGroupTotalThreadsColumn" align="center">

<div runat="server" visible=<%# !GetRoomInfo(Container.DataItem).IsHidden %>>

    <a title="..... (All the chat info stuff - not typed here, for brevity!)

</div>

<div runat="server" visible = <%# GetRoomInfo(Container.DataItem).IsHidden %>>

     None

</div>

</td>

 

--------------------

 

And that seemed to do the trick. Hope that helps somebody. Cheers!
