Clickable, Sortable Prefixes
 

Ok guys, some of you might be wondering what this does (most of you are)... so here it is: Instead of having simple text prefixes, this template modification will allow you to click any prefix and sort them.

This is an alternative to the sorting dropdown menus that are under the Forum Display.

So here's what you gotta do.

First of all, go to your AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Select Style -> Edit Templates -> threadbit.

Good now your editing the threadbit template.
Find:
And replace it with:
All done... simple but effective :)

Is nice to see u making Mods :up:

Thanks! Very simple, but useful mod!

Still got confused mate... I don't get it. I mean what will be the action?

Really nice and small mod, two thumbs up!

Click on one of the thread Prefix's such as "Music" or "PC" or "Other", it will take you to other threads that have the same thread Prefix's.

On normal vBulletin installation, the thread Prefix's are not linked at all :)

thank you so much.... this must be by DEFAULT in vbulletin since it use prefixes already!

Thanks for the demo eNforce.
And for the reviews... it's as simple as that :)

Thanks eNforce and agreed with RvG2.

Then nominate it for MOTM :p
Kidding :D

Needs an 'expand' or 'show all' link when threads filtered.

Lovely work though.

And where would that fit?
Cuz it didn't came to my mind yet.

It's going to need a tiny bit of coding, but how about if you click on a prefix in a filtered list, then it produces the unfiltered list again.

Excellent mod, BTW, thank you!

Well, i guess i could make it show a link to show the unsorted list.

Nice, sorry for asking, but does it work with 3.6.8?

no, just saw the code, and prefixes aren't in 3.6.8 yet.

Nope, it doesn't :)

that's an interesting mod ... nice job Alex :)

Would be nice if you want to do that :D

What's really needed is a proper little importable product that:

* Does this clickable prefix job, including the "click the prefix to return to unsorted"
* Option to put prefixes in a column
* Option to apply a format to all prefixes

Anyone up for it? :)

Added Installation Instructions file.

Here's a little demo for you on my site:

Thanks for the demo, added.

Great work! Very nice and easily added.

Thanks! I'm really surprised this capability isn't in 3.7. I just finally installed 3.7 today and that was one of the first things I did after creating a few prefixed posts--click on one to sort/select that prefix. Nothing. OMG. Oh well. This is a major improvement.

Hello :)

It's possible to show all prefixes clickable same the show tags ?

Found the instructions for placing the prefixes in their own column here -> http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...1&postcount=11

(in case anyone else was looking for it)

It would be nice if we would be able to add alt tags to prefixes, to describe what a prefix is about. Would be nice for SEO as well.

Alfa, such a description would surely ask for a product or at least a plugin... something that i've yet to make.
But it's a good idea.

Thanks much... What a nice tweak!

Very cool mod :). Thanks.

What would it be called to have the prefix after the actual thread title?
Is there anything like this or can it be done with this hack with some modifications

You should edit your code to encode the ampersand, or else it comes up as XHTML Invalid.

<if condition="$thread['prefix_rich']"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]&;ampprefixid=$thread[prefixid]"> $thread[prefix_rich]</a></if>

Thanks, i didn't gave much thought to that.

Any possible way to get the prefix as a title on the page?

Something like "Viewing all threads marked Modifications" at the top of the page when viewing all threads prefixed by Modifications.

(Don't need the html, just the variable if it's at all possible).

Of course it's possible... just that i don't know how and i'm pretty sure it would require some plugins and hooks.

Real nice hack! Only thing I see 'missing' so to speak, is a way to remove the prefix filter by clicking a link. Users might get confused and not realise they need to re-browse to the forum to remove the prefix filter.

Also with the update to the code, seems its not working anymore, when I click the Prefix, it doesn't do anything. Probably something to do with vbseo?

The link location gives me this when I hover over the Prefix:
http://xxxx.com/f18/?;ampprefixid=Prefix

I have the same problem, and similar link to what you have with the vbseo, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks :)

I have the same problem :(
