Hi Megat,

<rant>
important things first: Your mail was sent as HTML. Please do not do
that again. Some mail programs (including mine) refuse to edit your text
or put comments in between, I have to quote it entirely or not at all
(or fiddle with copy and paste). It is a hassle.

A more precise topic might attract more attention too. "repeat type:
hide "yearly" option" might have been adequate. Mails on this list often
ask for (or give) help, and MRBS as a topic is not quite specific on
this mailing list.

I sometimes just ignore mails that fail to adhere to the (widely
accepted) guidelines for mailing list postings found at
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

About your question:

Take your favourite editor and open edit_entry.php. Find a code block
like the following:

8<==== SCHNIPP
for($i = 0; isset($vocab["rep_type_$i"]); $i++)
{
        echo "<INPUT NAME=\"rep_type\" TYPE=\"RADIO\" VALUE=\"" . $i .
"\"";

        if($i == $rep_type)
                echo " CHECKED";

        echo ">" . get_vocab("rep_type_$i") . "\n";
}
SCHNAPP ====>8

(about line 500 in my heavely edited version, may be different in
original source code - web svn is down, so I cannot check there
quickly).

Insert an if clause inside the for{} like this:

8<==== SCHNIPP
for($i = 0; isset($vocab["rep_type_$i"]); $i++)
{
    if ( $i != 4 ) {
        echo "<INPUT NAME=\"rep_type\" TYPE=\"RADIO\" VALUE=\"" . $i .
"\"";

        if($i == $rep_type)
                echo " CHECKED";

        echo ">" . get_vocab("rep_type_$i") . "\n";
    }
}
SCHNAPP ====>8

Notice the new "if" line and the matching closing brace "}" further
down. This makes MRBS display all but the option no. 4 (which is yearly,
if I read it correctly). There may be other places in the codebase that
affect this, but you surely can track those down by grepping for
"vocab.*rep_type" or the like.
