Mystics,

This seems like a great hack but one question.

To make it easier on everyone and since you already modified the code, would it not be easier to include the line numbers of the code that need to be replaced.

showthread.php has 1924 lines of code and it can be a little taxing to say the least when looking for a single line of code, coupled with the fact that it would insure that the right code was modified which in turn would cut down on the amount of replies like,:smoke: "it does not work" or :smoke: "i can't find it" etc. etc.

Keep up the excellent hacks.

A liitle help lease before I screw something up.

In the editpost template step 3 it states find this code-

<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="$title" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" title="$vbphrase[optional]" /></td>

and add above, this code -

<if condition="$show['threadprefix']">
<td>$threadprefixes&nbsp;</td>
</if>


Exactly where above does this code get added. The first thing above is the <tr> tag so I do not see it going there. Above that is another similar section of code... Is that to be replaced.

tr>
<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>
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="$title" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" title="$vbphrase[optional]" /></td>


I hope this makes sense but exactly where would this new line of code be added.

Any help would be appreciated.

Still can't reproduce it...have you already defined prefixes in these forums? How is it possible the latest thread has no prefix when prefixed are required for this forum?

Hm, you can change the alignment of thread prefixes in your vBulletin settings.

Re-do the modifications properly.

:confused: ??? Exactly above the line you have to find.

well i have built quite a few css pages and never inserted any code between a
<tr> and <td> tag...

this is the reason for my question....

Yeah? What about just another row!?This is the code you have to insert..you don't see the <if> in the output...only the new row...

So in the end it's just:I don't see any reason why you couldn't do this...

I have a question about the "Show Prefix in 'Last Post' column" feature.

In order to see prefixes tagged to topic titles in index.php you need the above option on but with this option on it passes the prefix over to the next newly created thread title. (As described in the option field)

So if userA makes a thread with a [Information] prefix and then userB comes along and makes a new thread without a prefix the [Information] prefix gets tagged to this new thread even though the new thread may not be information.

I suppose this could be bypassed by forcing members to use prefixes but that is not suitable for my forum.

Is there anyway to have the prefix shown in the last post column on index.php but not get tagged to the next new thread created if it as no prefix?

P.S Good work, Easy to install and works great.

I tried everything but I'm unable to reproduce this...the information in the last post column is always correct in my tests. Please post all details about this forum (prefixes in forum defined, prefixes globally defined, prefix required, userb made a new thread or just a reply to an old thread etc.) and a step-by-step instruction to reproduce this. And be sure to make all file modifications as well.

Excellent addition, just what I was looking for. I hope this is carried on to future versions of vB.

The Goodbye thread was created without the [Information] prefix, But because the last prefix used in the forum was [Information] its being attached to it.

If you read the desciption of the "show prefix in last post column" option in the admincp it says:

The bold part is exactly what its doing, It showing the last used prefix even if its not apart of the last thread made.

The mods installed fine, Im 100% positive.

EDIT:

Just so you know, I can not replicate the problem on demand, Its appears to just start happening after a certain period of time.

Turning the option on and off seems to fix it for a short while then it starts happening again.
