Re: [Semediawiki-user] Semantic Drilldown; Global option (opt-in all/opt-out all) to set visibility of category list box

[Yaron K. <ya...@wi...>]

Hi James,

That's a very good idea, and I finally implemented it, in the Semantic
Drilldown code that's in SVN. If you get the latest code, and you add the
following to LocalSettings.php:

$sdgHideCategoriesByDefault = true;

(under the SD inclusion, of course), then Special:BrowseData should show
only the categories that have "__SHOWINDRILLDOWN__" explicitly set for them.

If you do try it out, please let me know how it works for you.
