WHAT IS THIS MODULE ABOUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to allow your users to hide certain forums of their choice on the index list,
this is the module you can go with. Users can set their preferences in profile section
and hide some forums they don't want to read anyway. Hidden forums can still be accessed,
they're only hidden from the list for a user.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

An easy one:

- Cd to your phorum installation directory;

- Unpack the archive to "./mods/hide_forums/";
 
- Log in as Administrator user;
 
- As an Administrator, add a custom profile field named "mod_hide_forums";
 
- Copy "mod_hide_forums.php" file to "./include/controlcenter/";
 
- Copy "cc_mod_hide_forums.tpl" file to "./templates/your_template_dir/";

- Add a menu item to "cc_menu.tpl" file in "./templates/your_template_dir/" by pasting
  the code:

{IF mod_hide_forums->enabled}
&raquo; <a {IF PROFILE->PANEL "mod_hide_forums"}class="phorum-current-page" {/IF} href="{mod_hide_forums->url}">{LANG->mod_hide_forums->ControlPanelTitle}</a><br />
{/IF}

- navigate to Your Profile:  http://yourforuminstallation/control/0/panel=mod_hide_forums

- test if it works.

KNOWN ISSUES:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- when you check all the forums to be hidden, the module goes back to 
it's default settings (all forums become visible); It was an intended
behavior;

- when all forums from a certain folder are hidden, the folder itself should
dissapear, while it's doesn't now.
