How do you ignore members?

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering why I could still see posts from those I have on my foes list. Good thing I read through these comments. Oh well, I still like to keep a tab on who I know I don't/wouldn't get along with for future reference.

This post is in response to the request by B19 in this thread
for a re-evaluation of the PHPBBUserHide userscript method of hiding users posts.

The script has now been updated to enable it to work with the current website software.
Below are installation instructions and examples of how the script functions
on a per page basis.

View topics page:

On this page you can hide other users posts and quotes.

Clicking on the green <X> above the users name will add the user to your filter list.



The page will automatically be refreshed and the posts and quotes will be hidden as
in the following Images:





To remove the user from your filter list, click on “display post” then click on the red <X>



Posting page:

The script will hide posts and quotes on this page as long as the user is not in the Foes list.
If the user is in the Foes list, the forum software will hide posts, but leave the quotes, which
the script will then hide.

Extra Functionality:

Some extra functionality has been added to the script.
These functions are listed below, they are enabled by default, but can be turned off in the menu.

Forum Page:



Clicking on the green <X> will hide the forum and hide all new posts to that forum
from the new posts search results.



Clicking on the “display forum” link will enable you to enter the forum, or remove it
from the filter list by clicking on the red <X>.



Viewforum Page:



Clicking on the green <X> will hide the thread and hide all new posts to that thread
from the new posts search results.



Clicking on the “display thread” link will enable you to enter the thread, or remove it
from the filter list by clicking on the red <X>.



New Post Search Results:



Clicking on the green <X> will remove the thread from the search results and hide it in the forum.
Clicking on the green <0> will remove all threads by that user from the search results.
Clicking on the filter link at the top left of the results will remove the filter and display all unfiltered
search results as in the image below.



Clicking on the red <X> or <0> here will remove the item from your filter list.
Refreshing the page will re-apply the filter.

Bookmarks:


A “View Your Bookmarks” link has been added to give quick and easy access to the
“User Control Panel “ page where the bookmark are stored.

Menu:

By clicking on the icon of the userscript manager you are able to:

Enable/disable the userscript manager.
Enable/disable the Wrongplanet_user_hide script.

You also have access to the following Wrongplanet_user_hide script functions:

1) Change colour scheme allows you to change the colours of the boxes.



2) Clear the filter list.
3) Disable the extra functionality.

Tampermonkey menu:


Violentmonkey Menu:


Compatibility:

The script has been tested with Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey
(unless otherwise stated) on the following browsers:
Chrome
Firefox
Slimjet
Opera
Vivaldi
Seamonkey (Using the ported version of Greasemonkey userscript manager.)

Falkon & Qupzilla (using their own built-in Greasemonkey userscript manager.
The script works but the menu is not available.)

Installation:

The script needs a userscript manager add-on to be installed into the browser.
I recommend Tampermonkey but Violentmonkey is an equally good
open source variant.

Both Tampermonkey,Violentmonkey and the script can be found at the link below.
Install the userscript manager of your choice first, then the Wrongplanet_user_hide script.

Once again I am impressed by your expertise and knowledge in these kinds of matters, and thank you Soliloquist for providing this pathway to resolve the longstanding issue re foe management.

epic

great start, be even better and make it work for edge/explorer.

Flippin Heck , Now I'm going to be talking to myself - Good work Soliloquist

The script has been updated to make it compatible with the MS Edge browser.

A note about the install procedure:

Install Tampermonkey userscript manager, close and restart the Edge browser,
then install the script.

thank you

Only Soliloquist's script worked for me, the one for Violent Monkey. It's awesome on computer (Thank you!! !) but I'm still trying to find out how to make it work on mobile.

Found a browser which allows addition of apps on mobile (Kiwi Browser), but the X's don't work when i tap them on mobile, even on Desktop version of the browser.

there are certain names i could do without even coming across. i wish this app worked on tv sets and radios as well.

Managed to load the script into TamperMonkey, which is showing a script called "WrongPlanet Look And Feel" in its dropdown menu, and it's showing as enabled, but no green crosses on WP. I'm using Firefox.

Has anybody else got it working in Firefox?

After installation of the script go to the settings page and enable "Hide Posts".
The settings page can be found in the User Control Panel under "Look & Feel"
Here is a direct link:
ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=post#/Tool_Box

If you are using a mobile phone you might encounter this problem:


This is due to a bug in the existing forum theme. To fix this you will have
to select one of the themes from the scripts settings page as these contain
a fix for this and many other bugs in the forums original theme.

To find out more about the Look And Feel script and the available options please

^ Thanks, that seems to have got it working.

So there's no way to ignore people without potching around with scripts?

I have no desire to interact with the woke so I guess I'm in the wrong place.

Yes it must be a bit of a brainer for the non-technically minded, but if you follow the instructions carefully it should work. And rest assured, thanks to the script we're unlikely to interact again after this unless I have a change of heart.

If you're hoping for an anti-woke echo chamber, you're in the wrong place.
