[Anonyymi]

Design and implement a mechanism for hiding threads.

Options:

• Client-side (localstorage, javascript)
• Server-side (cookies, php)

Partially blocked by https://github.com/Anonyymi/miniboard/issues/8 because this option must be available via the menu implemented in that issue.

Not quite sure what ur asking here... hope this helps tho. /////////// css is commonly used to hide and show stuff. All you have to do is make your php include a div or class (for example the php writes ( div class="myDiv"), then have the php write to it in order close out the div or class at the end of the post. then, you can simply use css to show or hide the div. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp

This is a feature that implements user-specific hiding of threads. User can hide a thread from their view if they don't want to see it. The problem here is to keep track of hidden threads on a per user basis + still fill a page with threads even if user has hidden some.

ahhh vichan did that with js I believe. Not sure if it was persistent tho , like if user changed browser. I would highly suggest installing vichan somewhere, then get the js functions that you want working - then you could easily isolate and "borrow" the code.

We don't want to borrow code. We simply write efficient minimalistic code to achieve our requirements.

That is very respectable. I always like to look and see how others do stuff tho :)

I'm working on this at the moment. Using PHP Session ID cookie to distinguish clients and handle hiding in database with separate table. It's simple but requires refactoring and polish before I commit it.

Done.
