Brief Description of the Modification

This modification allows your users to choose a thread prefix for each thread. To do this you are able to select an appropriate prefix from a list beside the title while posting a new thread - for example 'Help', 'Problem', 'Search' etc.

This prefix will be displayed in front of the thread title. The result will be for example:
Problem - I can't find this setting

Problem is the thread prefix, I can't find this setting is the title of the thread.

The prefixes displayed in this list may be defined by a moderator for each of his moderated forums (Forum Tools -> Manage Thread Prefixes); of course an administrator and a super moderator is allowed to do this for every forum.


Features

Moderators are able to create own prefixes for each of their moderated forums.
(Forum -> Forum Tools -> Manage Thread Prefixes -> threadprefix.php)
Display of the prefixes on forum display, search results, subscribed threads and within the thread itself.
It is possible to change the prefix with editing the first post of a thread or with the thread tools available for moderators at any time.
Settings in Admin CP

Maximum prefixes per forum
Thread Prefix required: Users have to select a thread prefix for their threads. You can select this globally for all forums or on a per forum basis.
Default Thread Prefixes: You may set default prefixes which will either be shown only in forums without own prefixes or be shown in addition to existing prefixes
Show Thread Prefixes in extra column or in front of the thread title in the same column
Alignment of the prefixes (if 'Show in extra column' is enabled): Align left, align right, center
Show Prefix in 'Last Post' column
Prefix HTML Markup: Specify an HTML tag with which to display the prefixes (bold, italic, red etc.)
Allow Thread Prefix search: If enabled, the prefixes of all forums the user has access to will be grouped in a list and displayed in the search engine.
Per Forum: Allow Thread Prefixes in this Forum
Thread Prefix Required in this Forum.

[DrewM]

Thank you clicked install

[RMS-Chef]

Great addon. I am currently staying away from file edits but I will definitely click install to keep an eye on this in the off chase you can eliminate the file edits in the future. Thanks again.

[Mystics]

Great addon. I am currently staying away from file edits but I will definitely click install to keep an eye on this in the off chase you can eliminate the file edits in the future. Thanks again.
You will always have to edit the /clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js file :)

But ok, that's just for the JS error message if you didn't select a prefix - so it's not really necessary.

[gael11]

Very usefull mod !!! Thanks very much !

[Cyricx]

Awesome!!!! So happy to see this ported, thanks so much for your work!! :)

[gael11]

I think there is a problem while editing files at step 4.
I have to edit the file called editpost.
I have to search for:

<form name="vbform" action="editpost.php" method="post"<if condition="!is_browser('webtv')"> onsubmit="return vB_Editor['$editorid'].prepare_submit(0, $vboptions[postminchars])"</if>>

but impossible to find it :(

[Mystics]

I think there is a problem while editing files at step 4. This code is in the template editpost. All modifications in step 4 are template modifications.

[Snake]

Oh thanks for the hack!

[gael11]

This code is in the template editpost. All modifications in step 4 are template modifications.

Ooops excuse me, I'm tired lol

[michaelbenson]

Excellent, been waiting so long for this
/me installs.

[nexialys]

/me think to remember to note to tag this thread and hug Mike for this update!

[DrewM]

I have one problem the prefix isn't showing on the forum but it will in search results?

Is there any thing I should do?

[Mystics]

I have one problem the prefix isn't showing on the forum but it will in search results?Hm, are all plugins active? Did you make all modifications correct? Did you select the correct style?

[TTG]

Inporting product on 3.5.1 produces this error :-

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetchtableinfo() in /usr/home/techguys/public_html/forum/admincp/apm_product.php on line 1467

[Mystics]

Inporting product on 3.5.1 produces this errorTry disabling the "APM Product". You can re-enable it after importing the threadprefix file.

[DrewM]

Hm, are all plugins active? Did you make all modifications correct? Did you select the correct style?
I have the right style,plugins active, and i did ever thing in the install.

[Mystics]

I have the right style,plugins active, and i did ever thing in the install.Send me an admin account via pm and I will take a look tomorrow.

[marc_t]

Hi,

nice to see that you are thaaaaat damn fast and already have this for 3.5.0. I just want to know before installing:

Do I have to uninstall the hack I installed at 3.0.7? Or can I just install this over the old installation (as my database with already made prefixes shouldbe kept for the new plugin)

Thanks alot,
marc

PS: Its always better to first read and than ask - already got my answer that it is possible to upgrade. Any problems known?

[TTG]

Try disabling the "APM Product". You can re-enable it after importing the threadprefix file.


All edits done .. re-enabled product.

Additional blank check box in forum tools dropdown .. using it produces sql error.
No options in admincp .. no additional options for editing forums.

[marc_t]

Another question:

Log in as administrator and select the version you want to update from (at Step 2 -> 'Update Product') and follow the instructions.

I dont have this point. Anything I made wrong? Followed the steps until this.

[ThePimp]

I'll install when it doesn't have any edits.

[FleaBag]

Try reading previous posts pimp. ;)

Great hack, I never installed this on 3.0.x because of all the edits, this is a fantastic port - thanks! :)

[ThePimp]

Great hack, I never installed this on 3.0.x because of all the edits, this is a fantastic port - thanks! :)

I'm too lazy. :) lol

It does look like a good addition though. I tried install, but the instructions didn't work for me, as I have some modified templates and didn't feel like spending a couple hours reworking my templates to get it to work.

[Daniel]

I can't find

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

in my threadbit ...

[Omega Prime]

Yes!! I've been waiting for this hack to be ported over since I upgraded to 3.5!! Now I feel more complete at my forum (and I was able to keep my previously prefix'd threads, too) :D

* Omega Prime clicks install

[Markco]

I have an error by creating the prefixes

Warning: main(/includes/adminfunctions.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /threadprefix.php on line 200

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/includes/adminfunctions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php5') in /threadprefix.php on line 200

[Dadoo]

Hello !!

great hack i think..

but i found an error on threadprefix.php file, line 200

(so, in reality i'd this error in vbulletin when i attempt to add prefixes, and once time "." behind /includes is deleted, all works !)

require_once(DIR . './includes/adminfunctions.php');


ANd second error, when i validate news prefixes, i have this error message :

Could not find phrase 'updateprefixes'.


Can you help me..?

Thanks you !

[gael11]

I don't know if I do a mistake but look this:
Under Firefox

I will try to check my templates :ermm:

EDIT: oops, finally I have deleted ">

[Odysseus]

Ah, finally. :)
Mystics, thanks for sharing!

[thalamus]

Brilliant modification, had it on 3.0.x now got it for 3.5.0 and about to install...

Just a few questions if I may...

a) Is it very involved to be able to add a colour scheme to the <td> for each category/prefix that's set up (for instance, 'Problem' is black font on green, 'Urgent' is white font on red etc.)?
b) How difficult would it be for subsequent posters to be able to change the prefix with their new posts rather than having a mod or admin to go in and keep editing the first post of the thread?

[Mystics]

I dont have this point. Anything I made wrong? Followed the steps until this.That's only for future updates (more template edits etc.). 1.5.0/1.5.1 are the first versions for vBulletin 3.5, so there is nothing to update yet. vB 3.0.x Thread Prefixes will be imported automatically...just follow the install instructions.I can't find in my threadbit ...Revert to Original...it's there.but i found an error on threadprefix.php file, line 200

ANd second error, when i validate news prefixes, i have this error message : @Markco & @finereader

Update to 1.5.2 :)

@thalamus

Sorry, both is not possible in this version.All edits done .. re-enabled product.

Additional blank check box in forum tools dropdown .. using it produces sql error.
No options in admincp .. no additional options for editing forums.Works fine for me. It seems you even can't import the product successfully, I don't know why.

[marc_t]

Thanks. Will check this.

[jluerken]

Hi Mystics,

I've installed version 1.52 and as far as I could test it everything works fine.
Thanks for this great hack.

One additional question.
I installed this hack in english but I also want to have the german phrases.

How can I install the english AND german phrases to have both?

[Mystics]

How can I install the english AND german phrases to have both?I don't think this can be done automatically. The product system doesn't support this.

[jluerken]

I don't think this can be done automatically. The product system doesn't support this.

Can you then provide me with a list of phrases belonging to the prefix hack so that I can translate them one by one manually? :-(

[Mystics]

Can you then provide me with a list of phrases belonging to the prefix hack so that I can translate them one by one manually? :-(Just open the XML-file (product-threadprefix_deutsch.xml) with a text editor and scroll down to <phrases>.

[havefun]

/me clicked install

everything worked fine. THX!

[Mijae]

Excellent.

Anyway to have images instead of text?

[Mystics]

Anyway to have images instead of text?Hm, no. Why don't you use post icons?

[Markco]

@Markco
Update to 1.5.2 :)
Excuse me but I use version 3.50
I cannot use the plugin 1.5.2

[akanevsky]

Great hack, installed.

[Wolf42]

Thank you Mike! You did it again. Couldnt go to sleep before finish install that hack.

I love this hack couse I'm using it since vB 2.2.x! :D

I would vote this hack for a Hack of the month!

[Wolf42]

Excuse me but I use version 3.50
I cannot use the plugin 1.5.2
1.5.2 is the version of the hack and not of the vB-version!!

[evenmonkeys]

Very nice! Thank you! Is it possible to do this with plugins? I'll install either way.

[Markco]

1.5.2 is the version of the hack and not of the vB-version!!Excuse me I see well that : Version: 1.5.2 (vB 3.5.1) / 1.5.0 (vB 3.5.0)

[Mystics]

Excuse me but I use version 3.50
I cannot use the plugin 1.5.2Import v1.5.0 again. It has been updated as well.Very nice! Thank you! Is it possible to do this with plugins?What do you mean? I have used all possible hooks. All other file and template modifications have to be done because there are no hooks for it.

[Wasim]

Any way we could have different colors for different Prefixes? Such as RED for NSFW?

[Wired1]

FYI you can make your own hook locations. Still requires file edits of course, but only one liners.

[Markco]

Import v1.5.0 again. It has been updated as well
Ok thank you ;)

[jokerz]

Hi Mike,
Note: If you have used the Thread Category / Prefix Hack in vBulletin 3.0.x, don't worry: all existing prefixes will be imported. You just have to re-do your threadprefix settings in your vBulletin Options.
I'd like to ask you first before I download this hack. I have used Thread Category Hack in vBulletin 3.0x so should I follow the 'UPDATE PRODUCT' instead of 'INSTALLATION' (in your description first post)?

Cheers.

[MaTraX]

Great modification. I`ve been waiting for it since the 3.5 rc1 :D
Installed of course :)

[Mystics]

should I follow the 'UPDATE PRODUCT' instead of 'INSTALLATION'?No, you have to do a normal installation.

[jluerken]

Mystics it would be nice to have the following AJAX Change for your Hacks.

If a thread has a prefix a double click should open a drop down list with all prefixes available in this forum so that you can change it on the fly.

Actually I have to edit
- open thread
- edit thread
- change category

Doing this with ajax would be much faster or? :-)

[jokerz]

Do you have uninstall instruction from the old 3.0x? You can PM me or post here.
I upgraded 3.0.7 to 3.5.1 - I used this hack in 3.0.7 and you had variable [threadcategories] and now the new one is [threadprefix]. I may have still [threadcategories] in some templates.

This is very less to modify files/templates than the old version. Good job

[jokerz]

You know sticky thread like rules. I edited my post and kept asking me to select the threadprefix.

"Please select an appropriate thread prefix from the drop down list beside the subject field."

I tried to change the setting and still not work. So I clicked 'no' in prefix required and turned it back on. Can you please tell me which setting that I can leave prefix in blank instead select prefix for me as adminstrator.

[Mystics]

Do you have uninstall instruction from the old 3.0x? You can PM me or post here.All new phrases/settings/templates of the old hack will be automatically deleted during the installation of the new version. If you still have templates from 3.0.x you have to search for "threadcat" to see if you still have the old modifications in there. You also can take a look in the file categoryinstall_text.php from the old hack.Can you please tell me which setting that I can leave prefix in blank instead select prefix for me as adminstrator.There is no setting for this.

Hm, should I exclude admins always from this? Maybe I will change it in 1.5.3.

[AxEsLoCkEd]

is it possible to convert this for a language system (like there will be English German French) and a user field on profile options page and at registration pages that will allow the member to choose which language he/she wants to view lets say if someone does only know german end french than they will be able to filter english posts, if someone only knows english than they will be able to filter german and french ?

[Alien]

I'd love to use this WITH images instead as previously mentioned by another member...

I'd like to maintain the existing post icon layout and functionality, and just add this as an ability inside our news forum to display an icon showing the category of news it is and display that on forumdisplay in ADDITION to the post icons. Any tips? I can't insert html for the image inside the admincp field for naming your prefix?

[The Wise One]

just what i was looking for. very nice. installed.

[jokerz]

Hm, should I exclude admins always from this? Maybe I will change it in 1.5.3.

Yeah that would be great. I'll take a look in old modifications to search for threadcat. Cheers.

[Mastar]

Nuff work but good hack. THanks!

[Trovador]

Hello, I have a problem in my boards:


Fatal error: Field lastthreadprefix is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485


The line is class_dm.php is:


trigger_error("Field <em>$fieldname</em> is not defined in <em>\$validfields</em> in class <strong>" . get_class($this) . "</strong>", E_USER_ERROR);


This error appear when deleted, edit, move pots.

What error is this?

Anyone can help me? Thanks

[Mystics]

This error appear when deleted, edit, move pots.Works fine for me. Check the hook forumdata_start. It should be enabled and contain:$this->validfields['allowprefix'] = array(TYPE_BOOL, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['prefixrequired'] = array(TYPE_BOOL, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['lastthreadprefix'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO);

[Trovador]

Thanks, I already fixed the error.

[cbr929rrerion]

This may sound wierd but since I installed this hack, which it works great.. now my smilies and editor stuff like bold, center, etc dont work and I get an error if I have debug on and click to send a pm to a new user..

any ideas?

Can you take a look? I can provide you with full access to my site if you can..

[cbr929rrerion]

I found out what is causing my smilies to not work, I un-installed the hack and deleted the mods to the vbulletin_textedit.js file and its all fixed.. Not sure if I edited it wrong to start with or if there are issues...

[FleaBag]

OK! A few points and a question...

With regard to the AJAX forumdisplay editing of threads, this would really be appreciated, I'm in the process of editing all existing threads in certain forums to add a prefix for a more uniform outlook - but it's getting very tiresome. ;)

The ability for admins not to have to choose a prefix would be nice also... For instance I have a 'For Sale or Wanted' forum, where the prefix for a post would be either, you guessed it, 'For Sale' or 'Wanted'... But my rules thread for this forum are neither For Sale nor Wanted. ;)

Admin only prefixes would also be nice... For example, as mentioned above I have a trading forum, but I would like to be able to change threads to 'Sold', but not allow users to be able to select this prefix themselves.

I've just upgraded from vB 3.5.0 to 3.5.1. Obviously my file edits are now missing. Do I just go ahead and use the install process? If this is the case wouldn't running the install file wipe my exiting prefixes - and this is the only way I can view the nexessary file edits?

Thanks for the hard work guys. :)

[john1744]

Something I'd like before I installed would be the ability to change the html markup of certain prefixes. Say a NSFW one could be red, while an announcement could be Yellow. Something like that. :)

Great hack, and I look forward to installing soon.

[john1744]

One more feature that would be awesome, would be the ability for mods and admins to have certain prefixes that only they could use. So you could label a thread a crap post or something.

[john1744]

Any idea what could be causing the following when trying to make its own column?

[Exernon]

vBulletin should add this to their default product!

Most useful hack yet...

Thanks!

[sensimilla]

its a pity it requires file edits.... I will wait until any other solution..

great hack anyway! thanks for it

[tommykjensen]

I hope this someday will be possible without code edits to the original files.

[tommykjensen]

Question.

How many phrases do I need to change if I want the word "Prefix" on the public pages to say "Version" instead? (Installed this in a forum that deal with software and I use the prefix to indicate software version number).

[tommykjensen]

Suggestion:

How about adding a second prefix with an option to let those prefixes be dependant on the first prefix?

In the screenshot sample provided You have a couple prefixes for different versions of vBulletin. With an extra prefix You could create one primary prefix "vBulletin" and a couple secondary prefixes designating the version numbers.

[john1744]

Any idea what could be causing the following when trying to make its own column?

Anyone have any idea why putting the prefixes in their own columns affects the stickies?

[FleaBag]

OK I didn't realise that the install file lets you view file/template changes. ;)

Nice work! I seem to have 2 prefix dropdown boxes when editing a thread though. Gonna look into that now...

EDIT: OK I've rooted through the templates and can't find the problem... When creating a new thread only 1 drop down is shown, but when editing 2 are shown [as shown below]. The first one has no effect, while the second works correctly.

[Mystics]

Nice work! I seem to have 2 prefix dropdown boxes when editing a thread though. Gonna look into that now...Your threadadmin_editthread template is correct?

[FleaBag]

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I was combing through edithread over and over. Didn't even think to go there. I had duplicated the edits for the template, must have been itchy trigger finger! Everything's working 100% now, thanks for the support Mystics. :)

Here's a demo of it in action. (http://www.dragonninja.co.uk/forum.php?f=59)

[akanevsky]

Very nice hack.
How about multiple prefixes in a forum?

[DrewM]

Very nice hack.
How about multiple prefixes in a forum?
Mystics could you make multiple selection?

[akanevsky]

No,... I meant multiple choosers - each with different types of categories. :)
This could be easy if you made a table where those categories would be stored. And if those categories would be saved each on separate line. That way they would be unlimited amount of choices and categories in every forum..

[shadow187]

Brilliant modification, had it on 3.0.x now got it for 3.5.0 and about to install...

Just a few questions if I may...

a) Is it very involved to be able to add a colour scheme to the <td> for each category/prefix that's set up (for instance, 'Problem' is black font on green, 'Urgent' is white font on red etc.)?
b) How difficult would it be for subsequent posters to be able to change the prefix with their new posts rather than having a mod or admin to go in and keep editing the first post of the thread?

Great Hack man , INSTALLED IT and LOVED IT..

Just one questian? is their coming an update out soon with the above giving points, cause that would be very usewell...

Shadow

[Mr Chad]

Any way to just remove the collum and put it infront of the title. Like this site.

[konabiker47]

When i go to select a prefix when making a new thread it says, "Please select an appropriate thread prefix from the drop down list beside the subject field." The thing is that i did do what it said. I must have made an error, where could it be?

[jokerz]

When i go to select a prefix when making a new thread it says, "Please select an appropriate thread prefix from the drop down list beside the subject field." The thing is that i did do what it said. I must have made an error, where could it be?

That's odd. Did you select a prefix or you leave them as blank? If you want users to select a prefix rather than leave as blank, turn 'required' on in admincp thread prefix.

[akanevsky]

Well are you going to implement my suggestion or not? Because if not I'll have to make and release my own prefixes hack... :(

[john1744]

In my ACP it is now saying that the templates I edited are now out of date?

Odd.

I've installed this before with no issue like that.

[Lamby1973]

Great Hack!

It's work also on Vbulletin 3.5.2?

Thanks!

[klaush]

Great Hack!

It's work also on Vbulletin 3.5.2?

Thanks!

Yes! I installed this night without any problems on 3.5.2.

There are some templates to edit, so you only have to be careful to do the neccessary changes in there.

[jarod1981?]

Hi Klaush!

Very thanks :rolleyes:

[bing11]

so nice thank you

[Lamby1973]

Great hack man, like i said it before,

just some questians ?

How difficult would it be to have different colors for every specific prefix you define it a forum ??
And would it be possible to change the thread prefix in forumdisplay page than rather editing every thread seperate ?
Or change the prefix in the quick reply box ??

Would that be hard to do ??

Any help would be awsome

Thanks in advandce

What is wrong?

Couldn't live without this hack ... Just now I can update my forum vB 3.07 to 3.5.3 :rolleyes:

All installed and works linke a charm!

2 minor questions:

The title in threadview is now:
Prefix - NameOfTheTitle
I want to change that into:
(Prefix) NameOfTheTitle

I changed in class_dm_threadpost.php:$threadinfo['title'] = $threadinfo['threadprefix'] . ' - ' . $threadinfo['title']; into$threadinfo['title'] = ($threadinfo['threadprefix']) . $threadinfo['title'];or$threadinfo['title'] = '(' . $threadinfo['threadprefix'] . ')' . $threadinfo['title']; but both ways didn't work :disappointed: Do you know a (other) way?

2nd) On the forumindex (home) the latest post is shown as an URL with the Prefix in it:
Like: Prefix - This Is The Latest Post (http://www.grmbl.com)
I would like to show there the Prefix with the link next to it:
Like: (Prefix) This Is The Latest Post (http://www.grmbl.com)

Hopefully you can give two nice answers ;)

As far as I know you can change this at the admin cp. You've got a field where you can define how this looks like. I think <strong>{1}</strong> was standard. The {1} is for the prefix itself and the rest is changeable...

The title in the threadview can then me made as:
(Prefix) - NameOfTheTitle
But still with the '-' in it. More worse: The Prefix will be shown the same way in the colomn of forumview.
So that's not he answer!

Thanks in advance..

[Thanatos]

This was working in 3.5.1 for me, but I tried reinstalling this in 3.5.3 and it wouldn't work.

I got

Call to undefined function: fetch_thread_prefixes() {forum link to my forurms}/forumdisplay.php(105) : eval()'d code on line 16

I uninstalled the product, even uninstall edit was exactly where it was supposed to be.

I reinstalled, double checked and found everything in the exact place it was supposed to be. When I did the final uninstall, everything was exactly in place.

I tried a default (untouched) set of templates and still got the error.
I tried to replace all the physically edited files and left the edited templates intact, still got the error.

So I couldn't narrow it down to one are or the other. If I turned the plugin off, everything worked fine.

Anyway, any suggestions or ideas on what it could be?

[IrPr]

works for me on 3.5. fine !

Hey this hack is something I am very interested in, if I can request a mod - would love to have multiple "prefixes" that are mandatory for the thread to be submitted. Looking to create a forum where the columns are sortable by date, problem, category... etc. Is this possible?

I haven't installed this, so I apologize for any question that may seem obvious, but are the prefix columns sortable or they must be searched upon?

You can make as much prefixes per forum if you need .... user can sort the (sub)forum by category (prefix). Even the search on prefix is there ...

And for all the other 3.5.3 owners .... if you really do this mod correctly step by step .... It works like a charm on my 3.5.3 :squareeyed:

1) Find this code: <td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">


1) Add above: <if condition="$show['threadprefix'] == 2">
<td class="alt1" align="$prefixalign" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$thread['threadprefix']">$prefixmarkup[0]$thread[threadprefix]$prefixmarkup[1]</if></td>
</if>

Should be:

1) Find This code: <if condition="$show['sticky']">
<td class="stuck" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">
<else />

1) Add Above: <if condition="$show['threadprefix'] == 2">

There are a few minor issues with this Hack, as it does not get fully disabled when you disable the product:


includes/functions_databuild.php

$forumdm->set('lastthreadprefix', $lastthread['threadprefix'], true, false);


This causes an error when the product is disabled, as the DM won't accept the prefix then.
On WOL Threads do show up with their prefix
Moderators do get eMails with thread prefixes

I tried to search for Prefix: ..but i cannot find it. Could you please tell me which phrase contains the 'Prefix:' ?

[UBRF]

Quick question,

I would like the prefix to show in the forumdisplay...when I click the option in the settings it adds an unwanted prefix to display for older threads (non-prefix) when they are bumped. (ex. if the old thread w/o prefix is WTB: Car...when I click the option it is displayed, depending on last used prefix, on forumdisplay as FS: WTB: Car)

This is for my classifieds section...

[Strat]

Problem : installed it, followed instructions, install went 100% perfectly fine (no errors), but unfortunately, I can't see the prefix column to the left of the title bar. It's just not there.

I don't get any errors afterwards either, plug-in is active, I even reinstalled, but still no go. This is what I get. Ideas?

Here's a pic :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/Strats991/prefix.jpg

EDIT ; when I try to create a thread, it asks me to pick a prefix, but the column isn't there. Thought it could possibly be in black, so I reverted to the default skin. No change.

2nd EDIT : nevermind. Fixed it myself.

[SCRIPT3R]

does this have any effect on pre-existing threads where the search is involved? also, are there any potential errors when merging an old non-prefixed thread with a new thread that has been pre-fixed? i wouldn't think so, but just wanted to verify.

[Kmaster]

is it possible have itself difference colour for prefix?
for example: in forum 6, has 5 prefixs for selection. I want prefix-1 in red colour, prefix-2 in blue, and so on.

installed this last night, works great, something i'd like to see in the future is the prefix that you add in the adminCP that can be added to the top or bottom of forum prefixes would be to make those mod/admin viewable/usable only and also make it an option for mod/admin to be able not to use prefixes even for forums that require them

having said that, this ads a whole new funtionality to my automotive forums, thank you

Works fine.

Hi Mike

Thanks for the reply, I was just checking avenues of false hope as I have 'just' installed this and, whilst it is operational, it has caused me headaches with the quick editor (not functional) especially and the editors in general (formatting buttons not operational). Plus, showthread has three error messages that now come up (on Exlporer) and one on new reply (vb_text edotor is not defined).
I have been right through several times looking for the culprit to no avail so far.

@diades
Maybe you have other modifications installed which create a conflict with the prefix plugin. The plugin itself works fine on many sites without such errors.

You should re-do your modifications in the *.js files and your templates.

full uninstall instructions as they are not in the zip file :(

Hopefully you can resolve this without uninstalling...

Now you first have to edit the prefix and then reply to it, it would be very great if i could do this together..

[SCRIPT3R]

if a prefixed-thread get's moved into another forum where prefixes aren't allowed... does the additional data associated with that threads get removed, or does it linger in the database. if database size is a factor, is it possible to remove the additonal tag data that goes along with the prefix?

[DrewM]

In 3.5.4 they cahnged class_dm_threadpost.php in it instaed of looking for:
$mods = explode(' ', $newpostemail);
loke for:
$this->registry->userinfo['username'] = unhtmlspecialchars($this->info['user']['username'] ? $this->info['user']['username'] : $this->registry->userinfo['username']);
then under add the prefix code.

is there a way or could you tell me where I could add a list of prefixes per forum instead of one at a time?

ie: I want to add the US states as a prefix to multiple forums, this would take forever one at a time, is there a way to set the amount at 50 and then add a text list of all states at once ?

Admin Control Panel -> vBulletin Options -> Thread Prefix -> Default Thread Prefixes

Set "Show Default Thread Prefixes" to "Yes - Show Always".

Then edit the thread prefixes in the forums where you want to add the US states and save. You can remove the default thread prefixes afterwards.

Hi there,

Definitely a must-have hack for a support forum :cool:

One question: is there a way to display prefixes in the "similar threads" view?

[rnmcd]

How many prefixes can be defined in the Admin CP?

Is it possible to sort a forum by prefixes, alphabetically.

Anyone have a site that uses this hack--I'd liketo take a look at it in action.

Thanks.

Installed great. For those of you who reported having problems while the product was active. Check your permissions and file ownership on the hacks files. I found mine unzipped with 700 permissions which caused my forums to whitescreen till I figured it out.

Excellent, been waiting so long for this
* michaelbenson installs.
Was this installed on Staff-lounge.com?

Anyone have a site that uses this hack--I'd liketo take a look at it in action.It's installed here (at vb.org) ....

[rnmcd]

Does anyone that claims they installed this still having it running on their board? I've check about 15 of the websites for users that said they installed and I don't see it running on any of their sites.

Is it only for Admins to use?

Can you point me to a thread where it was used on this site?

[Xenon]

you are already in such a thread

every hack release forum uses threadprefixes, it's just looking like it has subforums, but it actually uses the threadprefixes hack

There must be some modifications to the threadprefixes hack on this board because I don't see the "Prefixes" column like is displayed in this pic:

Should everyone make this edit?

[Mystics]

Should everyone make this edit?No. He must have an other hack installed which altered the file.

[rnmcd]

How many prefixes can be defined in the Admin CP?

Is it possible to sort a forum by prefixes, alphabetically.

Anyone have a site that uses this hack--I'd liketo take a look at it in action.

Thanks.
I'll paypal anyone $5 that has this hack fully-installed and working on a 3.5.4 board and will let me try it out.

i suggest a testboard ;)

I thought about that but it would take someone like me :cross-eyed: hours upon hours to install this hack.

By the way, anyone else see this misalignment in Firefox?

[rnmcd]

Just click on the prefix table header.

That's what it looked like from your image but I just wanted to make sure.

I look forward to your update to this hack.

[alex905]

$mods = explode(' ', $newpostemail);

isent anywere to be seen im useing vb 3.5.4 if that makes a difrence

will o have to wait for the next update or do i just edit another line

[LaCN]

I love this ;)

But I want to have colored prefixes.
Or be able to use images instead.

As a temporal sollution, I added it into the templates.
(dunno where to make it in php, since it all got very confusing now lol)

find in threadbit template

<if condition="$show['threadprefix'] == 2">
<td class="alt1" align="$prefixalign" nowrap="nowrap">
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix']">
$prefixmarkup[0]$thread[threadprefix]$prefixmarkup[1]
</if>
</td>
</if>

:bunny: If you want an image, do something like this:

<if condition="$show['threadprefix'] == 2">
<td class="alt1" align="$prefixalign" nowrap="nowrap">
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix']">
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[GAME]'">
<img src="images/Casino_icon.gif" title="Win Win !! The game is open !" border=0 />
<else />
$prefixmarkup[0]$thread[threadprefix]$prefixmarkup[1]
</if>
</if>
</td>
</if>

:bunny: If you want colored prefixes:

<if condition="$show['threadprefix'] == 2">
<td class="alt1" align="$prefixalign" nowrap="nowrap">
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix']">
$prefixmarkup[0]
<span style="color:
<if condition="in_array($thread['threadprefix'], array('[GREEN]', '[GREEN2]', '[GREEN3]'))">green</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[SCHEDULED]'">orange</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[PACK]'">purple</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[PACI]'">blue</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[PROGRESS]'">gray</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[STOPPED]'">red</if>
">
$thread[threadprefix]
</span>
$prefixmarkup[1]
</if>
</td>
</if>

:bunny: Or if you want it all...

<if condition="$show['threadprefix'] == 2">
<td class="alt1" align="$prefixalign" nowrap="nowrap">
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix']">
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[GAME]'">
<img src="images/Casino_icon.gif" title="Win Win !! The game is open !" border=0 />
<else />
$prefixmarkup[0]
<span style="color:
<if condition="in_array($thread['threadprefix'], array('[GREEN]', '[GREEN2]', '[GREEN3]'))">green</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[SCHEDULED]'">orange</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[PACK]'">purple</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[PACI]'">blue</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[PROGRESS]'">gray</if>
<if condition="$thread['threadprefix'] == '[STOPPED]'">red</if>
">
<else />
$thread[threadprefix]
</if>
</span>
</if>
$prefixmarkup[1]
</if>
</td>
</if>

Anyway, it would be nice if mods could select a color from a list, in the same form they create/edit the prefixes.
And optional select an image from a images/prefixes/ folder or soemthing.

I found out that once a prefix is in the database in the thread-table and it's wrapped with <span color... It shows it in color on the forum.

[Xenon]

search for a post by larrysw he psted the fix in this trhread already...

[rnmcd]

Here is larrsw's fix:

Mystics, what new things might be in your new version?

[Mystics]

v1.5.3 is now available. See the first post for details.

Remember: You don't have to do the file modifications as the product will work even though without them! Take a look at the thread to see what the file edits are used for.

[rnmcd]

Incredible! Thanks!

I am setting up a test board this week and this will be my first ever installed hack...wish me luck.

Thanks, Mystics!

[rnmcd]

Any idea what happens if I set up 100 prefixes? Will they display in one long column or is there a break after a certain number of prefixes and another column starts?

[Mystics]

Any idea what happens if I set up 100 prefixes? Will they display in one long column or is there a break after a certain number of prefixes and another column starts?What do you mean with "column"? All prefixes will be displayed in the drop down list (in one column).

[rnmcd]

That is what I was referring to regarding columns, the drop-down list. I was just wondering if the prefix list continued in an additional column/list if the list extended beyond the height of the page.

[Mystics]

That is what I was referring to regarding columns, the drop-down list. I was just wondering if the prefix list continued in an additional column/list if the list extended beyond the height of the page.The drop down list is not as high as the page...just take a look at the standard "Forum Jump" menu....it's a simple drop down list you have to scroll yourself.

[Xenon]

thx, will upgrade my modifications soon :)

[hydrostatic]

When the product is enabled, there is no way to "Search all threads by this member". When one searches threads by a member, the results are all the recent threads posted.

When the product is enabled, there is no way to "Search all threads by this member". When one searches threads by a member, the results are all the recent threads posted.Fixed in 1.5.4. Just import the updated xml file.

[dsotmoon]

just to be sure, to update from 1.5.2 all i need to do is reupload the files and overwrite the XML ? I shouldnt have to make any new file edits?

thanks for the great work!

[Mystics]

just to be sure, to update from 1.5.2 all i need to do is reupload the files and overwrite the XML ?No, there are some new file edits. Please take a look at the readme or the first post. You will find update instructions there.

[rnmcd]

Would it take much of a change in this hack to allow users to manually INPUT the prefix?

[Mystics]

Would it take much of a change in this hack to allow users to manually INPUT the prefix?Yes.

[slamdog]

installed ok but have a problem..

the prefix column is wider than the post title column!

i must have made a mistake somewhere, but i cant figure it out...

http://www.slamdog.f2s.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2

I have enabled the template id so it looks like something in threadbits that is wrong but I can't see it myself... probably looking too hard.

[slamdog]

all fixed now...

my error....

working fine on v3.54.

now going to add the gars bits...

[slamdog]

there is a conflict with gars install release add in. I have fixed the display problem when used with gars but have yet to figure out the template to change to add the prefix pull down into the gars release add in. They will work when both are installed but not if the same forum is gars and prefix modded at the same time... YET! I will crack this problem, but any pointers would help me from losing all my hair. The only issue I have is getting the prefix pull down menu to show in a gars install new post form.

[slamdog]

ok everyone..

figured it out!

repeat the instructions in the template changes but add the code in the newthread section to the gars_newthread template.

the first step is straight forward. the second step is as follows...

find this code

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[title]:</legend>
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></div></fieldset>

replace it with this

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[title]:</legend>
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px"><table>
<if condition="$show['threadprefix']">
<td class="smallfont">$vbphrase[threadprefix]:</td>
</if>
<td class="smallfont" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadprefix']">2<else />3</if>">$vbphrase[title]:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<if condition="$show['threadprefix']">
<td>$threadprefixes&nbsp;</td>
</if>
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td></table></div></fieldset>

I couldn't understand why things were not working and by sheer fluke I figured out that all I needed was to add the table statemnet to the GARS_newpost template.

[rnmcd]

What is gars bits?

This was working in 3.5.1 for me, but I tried reinstalling this in 3.5.3 and it wouldn't work.

I got

Call to undefined function: fetch_thread_prefixes() {forum link to my forurms}/forumdisplay.php(105) : eval()'d code on line 16

I uninstalled the product, even uninstall edit was exactly where it was supposed to be.

I reinstalled, double checked and found everything in the exact place it was supposed to be. When I did the final uninstall, everything was exactly in place.

I tried a default (untouched) set of templates and still got the error.
I tried to replace all the physically edited files and left the edited templates intact, still got the error.

So I couldn't narrow it down to one are or the other. If I turned the plugin off, everything worked fine.

Anyway, any suggestions or ideas on what it could be?


I have the same issue. The onl ything abou mine is that it happened ALL THE SUDDEN. it was working perfectly for like 2 weeks.

[rnmcd]

Is there a way to have a default prefix for each user? So when a user makes a post, a default prefix will display--they can, if needed, change the prefix via the dropdown.

Thanks.

You can modificate the hack as you like. You just need a new profile field where each user can enter his own default prefix. Then you have to edit the plugins so that this default prefix will show up as default (and no, I don't have the time to do this ;)).

[rnmcd]

How is this unistalled?
