[RFC] Jumpbox - showing only primary forums

[theallzaz]

If you have a board with more than 30 forums/categories, the jumpbox becomes useless (clicking on board index becomes simpler). So i was thinking and instead of simply removing the jumpbox, adding a option in acp to choose if the jumpbox show only the primary forums (limiting the jumpbox to categories and forums which are not in a category). If you have a small board simply let the default option and nothing will change, but for those who have large board, just change the option.

In this topic I found the solution, and it is very simple. I think it would be a simple and nice feature


I have added a modification to my board, and this is the result:

I think for the first time i will use a jumpbox frequently, because now it is really fast and useful. This way if the user set in acp to show only the primary forums, the jumpbox will not show the categories, forums, sub-forums, sub-sub-forums, sub-sub-sub-forums etc.

This is too simple for an RFC.
I read this twice and I feel like there's information missing so that I can discuss/comment on it as an RFC.

[theallzaz]

I agree that it is simple, but I don't think that just because it is simple this shouldn't be an RFC.

How many members use a jumpbox in a large forum? I believe that it becomes useless. So you do not think it would be simpler improve it rather than discard it? I think it is a nice idea

[brunoais]

OK, ok.
I still think this should be considered a discussion.
Anyway, I like the idea, I only question if this can be made easily or if it requires some extra DB queries. Anyway, this is something that does not change much, so caching it is a good idea.
Tl;dr +1.
