very nice mod.
thx for that.

one question:
Would it be possible to make the sticky, moved, moerated and poll also selectable.

I'm sure you could, but not using this mod. You would just edit the phrase for those words and make them clickable. I'm not sure what the URL would be though since I've never looked into it.

How much work would it take to make a similar product that allows you to filter a user's posts in a thread?

In earlier versions of vBulletin you could click the number of replies in threadlist, then click on the number next to a name to search posts by that user within the thread. This seems to be broken as of 4.0 (I've tried on a 4.0.5 forum and a 4.1.0 forum).

The basic principal you have here would work great. Click on a word "Filter" next to the username in a post, and have it only show posts in that thread by the specified user.

I think a great deal of people would be very happy if you could make this.

This works just fine on my 4.1.0 test forum. Make sure you click the number, not the name. The name takes you to the profile, the number shows you the posts.

Ontop of that, Search strips BBcode, it shortens messages, and it italicizes everything in a strange format.

The Filter commands would be a very simple one-click way to have all of the posts not by the specified user invisible. The posts by the specified user would keep all formatting.

Did you reindex your site after the upgrade? If you click on that particular users profile and click to View All Posts, do you get a list then? If not, then it sounds like his posts weren't indexed. Actually, are posts in that forum indexed or do you have it turned off in that forum?

That one is not my forum. My forum has problems because when I installed MediaWiki integration it added a "multi-content" search type.

But as I said the ability to filter as your mod seems to do would be better than working search anyway.

Edit: Out of curiosity, how do I check to see if my forum is indexing posts, and how do I enable that setting?

You could look to make sure your searchcore table is continually getting larger (normally would have more rows than the post table). You would know if you indexed it in the first place after the upgrade because that step takes a while. You would have indexing turned on for the forum (forum manager) and then it should be an automated task unless you have a large forum and turned off the setting and are having it done by a Scheduled Task (but you would know if you did that).

Ok Thanks. I never upgraded, but I found the options and reindexed just to be safe.

Now, is it possible to have this filter effect on posts like I'm asking?

I'm sure a modification to filter the thread like you want would be pretty easy. But to have it formatted how you want would be more tricky and require a few more plugins/modifications to the code.

Installed, nominated, great mod. Should be standard in VB ... Thanks man :)
I think I will use some color coding for prefixes so You might get the idea that thery are clickable.
I have never know that clicking on number of replies it gives you a summary of who posted :)

Hah, looks pretty much like my old template mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=169832 :)

It does the same thing only without doing any template edit.

works for vb4.1.1?

Installed today on 4.1.1 - works!

Fantastic mod! Thank you!

Amazing As Usual Lynne :)

Thanks Installed In 4 Forums :) Can I Click Install 4 Times Hehe

Awesome work as always Lynne,thanks

Hiya,

Nice modification.
I have a question about the clickable prefixes. I want to change the colour of them as a global change. I've learned I can change each prefix colour in the prefix manager, but I have allot of prefixes I need to change so that they are not the same colour as the topic titles.
If there is a easy way to globally change the prefix colour that would be great as at the moment they are the same colour as the live link (topic colour).

Can I do this via the additional css or some other way?

thanks

this is excellent ! thank you

Have you tried adding something like this to additional.css:
If that doesn't work, then please link to the page on your site so I can see your CSS.

I had the same challenge and fixed it in one sql update query in php myadmin - i used bold black format :

Hi,

Adding...
to the additional.css worked.

thanks lynne :)

vB 4.1.3 - works flawlessly

Works perfectly! Thanks so much! :)

Excellent MOD!. Is it possible to make Prefixes part of the sidebar column where it lists all the prefixes of the forum and user clicks on a prefix in sidebar, threads w/ prefix show up on forumdisplay.
Thank you Lynne,

how do I make them clickable from forum home, and categories. they are only clickable when browsing that sub-forum

UPDATE:
it works on all subforums but not on the forum home. unable to click on them. would be nice if you could and it would send you to the subforum or foum it is posted under with the search results

example:
Make (Pre-Fix can not be clicked)
-------Model (Pre-Fix is clickable)
--------------Trim Level (Pre-Fix is clickable)

This is a great mod that was working beautifully for me until recently. I just upgraded to 4.1.8 and suspect that might be the problem.

Can anyone else confirm if this is working in 4.1.8?

I can confirm it works fine on my 4.1.9 site.

As above, working fine on 4.1.9.
Thank you for this mod!!

Allego la traduzione Italiana (italian translate)

Thank you. I have added this to the first post.

Yup, it turns out another admin accidentally deleted the prefixes.

It's working fine in 4.1.8 too.

Thanks for the replies!

This is very useful and like another user said, should be default! Thanks so much for making it. :)

my prefixes are still clickable in 4.1.11, lol... great mod, very low maintenance :)


I keep forgetting this isn't default vB behavior

Installed working on 4.1.10

Invalid File it says when i try to upload the .xml

On 4.1.10

I love this mod. Thanks!
Is it possible to remove the Filter?

Or only with the return button?

I don't know what you mean.

working on 4.1.11

Thank you for posting this. It really helps to have members post about whether the mod is working in newer versions. :)

Great mod Lynne I'm pretty sure I have it marked as installed (it's installed on my forum)

I have one issue i'm not sure if there's a really simple workaround or not, but is there any way to filter threads by more than one prefix at a time?

Example,
will show all threads with prefix id prefix_id_1

But I need a way to show threads with more than one prefix at a time.

Like if below was possible,
would show all threads with prefix id prefix_id_1, prefix_id_2, and prefix_id_3 at the same time.

Essentially I've got a forum with 50 different category options, and 6 sub-category options for each of those and I have a prefix for each one individually.

Example, I have my prefixes set up pretty much like this, each line is 1 prefix

category1 - subcategory1
category1 - subcategory2
category1 - subcategory3
category1 - subcategory4
category1 - subcategory5
category1 - subcategory6

category2 - subcategory1
category2 - subcategory2
category2 - subcategory3
category2 - subcategory4
category2 - subcategory5
category2 - subcategory6

etc etc. The above example is a total of 12 prefixes.

So in my case, it would be awesome to be able to show all threads from any of the category 1 prefixes at once.

Is this possible at all, possibly with some minor adjustments? This would be hugely beneficial.

For me personally i don't even care that the prefixes are clickable, but it provides that static URL you can use. I use it to essentially make a table of contents using all the URLs for each prefix. Essentially I want to put a link in this table of contents that goes to a page showing threads with multiple prefixes at a time.
