CaptDarkStar Does anyone have an extension or anything that will allow us to set certain tags as hidden? Looking for something so that I can have certain tags like open and closed, but I don't want them seen in the list of main tags at all but still visible in the post itself. Any help with this would be appreciated.
datitisev CaptDarkStar All you can do without an extension is to hide a tag from the main list. I think no extension exists for your purpose at the moment, but someone may make it.
CaptDarkStar datitisev That is what I am looking to do. How do I hide a tag from the main list of tags?
CaptDarkStar Murin This hides everything including any public post that has this tag added. All I need is to keep the tag out of the main list of tags, not hide the post or anything.
datitisev CaptDarkStar If you mean hide it from the actual list on the right of the screen (Desktop) you will need to use Permissions. If you just want to hide those discussions from the "All Discussions" list (homepage by default), set the Hide from All Discussions checkbox to true:
CaptDarkStar datitisev I just want to hide the tag from the list at the left, not the actual discussions. If I use permissions, any post that gets the hidden tag, the entire post gets hidden and that is not what I want.
Dominion CaptDarkStar Toby is planning a major overhaul of the tags extension which I believe will include some more granular control of how tags are displayed in the sidebar. If you can make a case for your idea, that overhaul may be a good time to throw it in. Can you please explain, with some sort of real-world examples, why you want to hide tags from the list?
blurkness For temporary fix you could try custom css. .Dropdown-menu .item-tag1 { display: none; } To discover what tagID is, just inspect element to see.
CaptDarkStar Well @Dominion on my forum setup, I have a few tags that I use in a couple forums. This is to keep it organized and such. The idea behind the hidden tag from the main list is so that I can use the same tag for all the forums without adding a ton of cluttering tags to look through on the list of threads/tags that are shown on the left. At the same time, I don't want to hide the entire post either. Even if it is just secondary tags that can be hidden would be fine. Or even add in a third group specifically for like status tags or something that generally aren't seen or something.
Dominion CaptDarkStar Thanks for the explanation! I've added a note to the issue linked above. I've also been thinking that it would be nice to have some control over which tags are displayed in the list. Having a concrete example of the sort of control that would be desirable will make it easier to figure out how it should work.
