Add an option to make a category "hidden" by default
Submitted by kosmofilo on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 01:28I mean an option to not show posts from certain categories on my frontpage. They would still be completely accessible by the "Show Category" menu and the "Select a Feed" page.
Some benefits:
- If you use both a slow Internet connection and a fast one like me, you may not want to see posts from blogs that usually post large pictures or videos when you are on the slow one
- People who follow "not safe for work" blogs may want to use this feature to keep reading all their other subscriptions at work without being paranoid
- You may just not feel like reading about a certain topic during weekdays, and save all posts about it for weekends

I'll put this on my list and take a look at whether there is an easy way to implement it.

What about using "+" to display category combinations (/category/news+videos+tech) ?

This will work now with an
This will work now with an underscore separating categories. We already allow category names with spaces and those are indistinguishable from +'s.

When I open
When I open category/ciência_fotografia_idiomas_Japão_podcasts_pt_software_webcomics , and they have unread items, FeedsAnywhere for some reason replaces ê and ã with invalid unicode characters. This doesn't happen when there's no unread feed in the group, or when I load fewer categories at the same time, or when I load these categories individually.

Is the replacement happening
Is the replacement happening in the URL or somewhere on the page? And if the latter is it the title or somewhere in the feed content? Both are generated by different scripts so that would help me narrow down where the problem is.

Here's the part of the code
Here's the part of the code that is affected (I had to replace the less than and greater than characters with brackets because the forum was interpreting it as a normal tag even though it's within the "code" tag):
[a id="feed-title-category" class="feed-link feed-title pointer" onclick="mainMenu(event.type); return false;"]ci�ncia/fotografia/idiomas/Jap�o/podcasts/pt/software/webcomics (1)[/a]kosmofilo
Can't reproduce
I tried creating some categories with those names myself and can't reproduce the issue. Having an unread item means javascript touches it to update the link, but I can't think of any reason why it would work differently with multiple categories vs. just one.
I'll keep trying to figure it out, but I'm not sure where the problem is right now. I tried Opera, Chrome, and Firefox.

Thank you for taking a look
Thank you for taking a look at it. If you couldn't reproduce it, it's probably just a bug on my side. I've been using the nightly builds of Firefox.

Thank you!

I think I should be able to
I think I should be able to do that fairly easily. I'll start testing with it later and will let you know once I promote it to the production site. Initially it will just be the capability when you manually enter the URL. Figuring out how to integrate something into the UI will take longer.
