[Add-on] Thread Prefixes: Quick Prefix Filter

Requires Thread Prefixes:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123033

This just adds a little drop down to filter a forum by prefix. It will only show up if the forum has prefixes enabled. On my site I use it so that I don't need to have lots of little subforums, I have one central forum per area of the site and this filter lets them see all of one prefix type in the manner of a subforum, which in my opinion is tidier. See screenshots for my example.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style manager --> [Style you want to edit] --> Edit templates --> Forum Display --> FORUMDISPLAY

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$pagenav">

Insert above/before:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- START FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

<td class="smallfont"></form>

<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="f" value="$forumid" />

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="$pagenumber" />

<input type="hidden" name="pp" value="$perpage" />

<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="lastpost" $sort[lastpost] />

<input type="hidden" name="order" value="desc" $order[desc] />

<input type="hidden" name="daysprune" value="-1" $daysprunesel[all] />

        <if condition="$show['threadprefix']">

Show this type of thread: $threadprefixes

<input type="submit" class="button" value="Show" /></form></if></td>

<!-- END FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

You can edit the "type of thread" text to whatever suits your forum.

Its working fine on mine, just let me know if there are any errors.

If you use it, please click Install! :)

my site require registration but maybe someone else could post theirs?
Theres not much more to it than the screenshots anyway. its just a simple drop-down list that filters to threads with only the selected prefix.

is it possible to limit this to one forum or is it site wide?

it only appears if a particular forum has Thread Prefixes enabled. you could limit it to one specific forum with thread prefixes enabled by adding an <if> statement around the whole thing.

I saw this release the other day and thought it was nothing special lol, but even before that I have been looking everywhere for the prefix hack, but wasnt searching for the word prefix led me knowwhere lol, so now that I understand what this does, it is really good.

Thanks, clicks install.

In the forums that this mod acts in (forums with active prefix fields) it seems to break the AJAX menu system. No dropdown menus work, however forums where it isnt running do have working AJAX menus.

Any idea why this would be?

vB v3.6.1

gavinzac

10-08-2006 06:45 AM

could i have a link to your forum to check it out? i presume you mean the DHTML menu, rather than an ajax modification?

Ascor

10-10-2006 04:02 AM

After upgrade to 3.6.2 an doing the template edit you can check the select box thread for moderation, but the counter say 0 post selectec and is not showing the "selected" color row :/

edit: and i have just cheked, same problem as Simplicity, the menu are out, ("forum tools" and "search in this forum")

Searched for thss in 3.6.2 and couldn't find it in FORUMDISPLAY

i guess theres something changed about 3.6.1+, i dont know i havent upgraded yet. Ill post any edits if/when i upgrade :( sorry guys, although i really dont see how this would affect any of that, its just a form and submit button.

Dear gavinzac,

Due to repeated failures to meet expectations, your services will no longer be required with our firm. You have 15 minutes to clean out your desk. Security will escort you to the front door.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

If you do want to put this into 3.6.2, just find the new topic button and put it in after that. I can't garauntee it'll work but I don't see why it wouldnt, its just a form. I'm guessing people have somehow screwed up the form that lets you inline moderate when they did this.

Janet Jackson

10-16-2006 02:36 AM

I tested this add-on just to see if it worked on a 3.6.2 board and it did (without affecting AJAX or moderation options). Unfortunately the forums where I have prefixes enabled aren't publicly visible, so I can't show you. Anyway, to be honest I find this a better solution myself.

gavinzac

10-16-2006 09:01 AM

glad to see i was right, it works :D

thats fair enough, two ways of doing the same things really, but you should really put rel="nofollow" on those links. search engines will go crazy. also, if theres a prefix thats not on the first page it'd be a pain to find one and then click it.

Good point, didn't think of that.

I confirm this was a template issus, now all work good in 3.6.2 ^^

This broke my inline moderation on the FORUMDISPLAY. The only forum where inline mod. would work was where I had thread prefixes installed.

I instead am using:

Code:

<!-- START FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

<if condition="$show['threadprefix']">

</form>

<td class="smallfont">

<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="f" value="$forumid" />

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="$pagenumber" />

<input type="hidden" name="pp" value="$perpage" />

<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="lastpost" $sort[lastpost] />

<input type="hidden" name="order" value="desc" $order[desc] />

<input type="hidden" name="daysprune" value="-1" $daysprunesel[all] />

<strong>Filter by prefix:</strong> $threadprefixes

<input type="submit" class="button" value="Show" /></form></td></if>

<!-- END FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

I reverted the FORUMDISPLAY completely and started adding code back in until I narrowed it down that this was what was causing my problems..

Well, anyway, in case anyone else was having this problem, there's the fix. :)

I'm getting a javascript error (object required) when viewing a forumdisplay, only on forums with this hack and only on ie. This gives an error and disables navbar popups only in ie.

The error happens on the last line of this snippet (found in vbulletin_global):

Code:

// add popups to pagenav elements

                var pagenavs = fetch_tags(document, 'td');

                for (var n = 0; n < pagenavs.length; n++)

                {

                        if (pagenavs[n].hasChildNodes() && pagenavs[n].firstChild.name && pagenavs[n].firstChild.name.indexOf('PageNav') != -1)

I've tried both blocks of code - the main mod and the one above. Using 3.6.5.

Any clues - I'm a bit stuck!

Pottsy

OK, I think I've fixed this (error and no pop up navbar in IE) - but you may want to check this because I am no coder...

This mod is a form, but it's stuck in the middle of another form. If the mod is displayed, it just terminates the first form. This is how I fixed it:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style manager --> [Style you want to edit] --> Edit templates --> Forum Display --> FORUMDISPLAY

Find and delete:

PHP Code:


		
			
<form action="inlinemod.php?forumid=$forumid" method="post" id="inlinemodform">

<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$pagenav">

Insert above/before:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- START FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

<if condition="$show['threadprefix']">

<td class="smallfont">

<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="f" value="$forumid" />

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="$pagenumber" />

<input type="hidden" name="pp" value="$perpage" />

<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="lastpost" $sort[lastpost] />

<input type="hidden" name="order" value="desc" $order[desc] />

<input type="hidden" name="daysprune" value="-1" $daysprunesel[all] />

Show only the following: $threadprefixes

<input type="submit" class="button" value="Show" /></form></td></if>

<!-- END FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->



<!-- Form code moved from section Threads List -->

<form action="inlinemod.php?forumid=$forumid" method="post" id="inlinemodform">

<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />

<!-- End of Form code moved from section Threads List -->

This works for me on 3.6.5, it removes the error message in IE, and doesn't break inline moderation.

Good work pottsy.

I will no longer be using this hack, or thread prefixes, so feel free to submit the correct code as your own modification for the latest version.

I know that this mod wasn't designed for it, as well as I am getting errors when using it on 3.6.8 with a bad if condition, but I was wondering 2 things?
#1 - Can we get it updated to work in 3.6.8?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in ....
line #53

#2 - would it be possible to have a search for all the forums by prefix. Right now I can only within advanced search put words in for it to search, as well as it won't search multiple forums.

Thanks!!
