How to filter the categories

Question

I've integrated Q2A with our site login and database

Everything work fine (thank to the structure of Q2A that make easy the external login!)

we have only one problem:

As we have different groups and the member of a group should not bee able to see the categories of the others

this works well if I press the "Categories" menu that shows only the correct ones.

but I'm not able to filter the <select> in "ask a new question"; all the categories appear.

I don't understand where is the code that I have to modify

 

 

 

the <select> is created with the line.

qa_array_insert($qa_content['form']['fields'], 'content', array('category' => $field));

in qa-page-ask.php

Here is an easy hack for you:

Find    'q_category_label' => 'Category:',   in qa-lang-question.php   change it to  'q_category_label' => '',  so you get rid of Category:

 

Then open  qa-style.css and add this:

#category_0{
display:none;}

#category_1{
display:none;}

thank you for your reply.
I've tried today your hack, but unluckily the result is not what I needed.
with your modify I've been able to see only the undercategories
instead I should need to select in the popup menu one of the categories showed in the list of the "categories" menu
