WARNING: THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES FILE EDITS.
Please follow all instructions carefully before attempting to use this modification
What does this modification do?
This modification allow you to control which Usergroups have access to use certain prefix sets. For example in a Help/Bug Report forum, you may only want to allow staff to prefix problems into categories.
Why does this modification require file edits?
The AdminCP has a minimal number of hook locations onto which to attach plugins, this is done for security and stability reasons by the vBulletin team. Therefore it has not been possible to make this modification 'file edit' free.
What versions of vBulletin does this modification work with?
This modification has been tested to work with 3.7.1, however it will most probably also work on 3.7.0. Please note I cannot offer support for help with this modification on 3.7.0 so if you experience problems it will be best to upgrade to 3.7.1 and then see if your errors are resolved.
How to install:
(These instructions are detailed also in the README file attached in the ZIP Archive.)
1. IMPORT PRODUCT
------------------------------------------------
Import the product as normal through the AdminCP.
AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products

3. MAKE FILE EDIT (1)
------------------------------------------------
Download and Open admincp/prefix.php from your vBulletin installation. (Code additions have been highlighted in Green)
You will need to edit the file in a plain text editor, notepad or wordpad will do fine.
Find (approx. Line 303):
$prefixsetdm->set('displayorder', $vbulletin->GPC['displayorder']);
$prefixsetdm->set_info('title', $vbulletin->GPC['title']);
$prefixsetdm->save();
Replace with:
$prefixsetdm->set('displayorder', $vbulletin->GPC['displayorder']);
$prefixsetdm->set_info('title', $vbulletin->GPC['title']);
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_opserty_prefix_ugps.php');
process_selected_groups();
$prefixsetdm->save();
3. MAKE FILE EDIT (2)
------------------------------------------------
Find (approx. Line 448):
if (empty($enabled_forums))
{
// default to selecting "none"
$enabled_forums = array(-1);

print_forum_chooser($vbphrase['use_prefix_set_in_these_forums'], 'forumids[]', $enabled_forums, $vbphrase['none'], false, true);
print_submit_row();

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_opserty_prefix_ugps.php');
show_usergroup_list($prefixset['allowedugps']);
print_submit_row();
]
4. UPLOAD
------------------------------------------------
Upload the newly edited prefix.php to your server and test away =]
If you receive PHP Parse errors it means you have probably edited prefix.php incorrectly, download a new copy of prefix.php from vBulletin.com and try editing the file again.
Remember to undo file edits and remove files, if you uninstall this product in order to avoid errors in future.
