Change Threads Prefix Inline
 

Introduction & Description:
It is difficult to change threads' prefixes, thread by thread, the editing process of each thread to change the prefix is inappropriate and it takes a long time.
This product allows you to set a prefix to multiple threads inline, using the moderation drop-down menu in forum display page (see the screen shoot). you will save your time and effort.

Features:

• One-click mass thread prefix changing (You can select a prefix in the drop down menu and apply the change instantly to many threads).
• Remove prefix: works only if prefixes are not required in the current forum.
• All changes are logged in the Moderator Log.

How to use?
It works exactly like closing, opening, sticking or unsticking multiple threads inline.

Limitation:
You can't change threads' prefix across forums. any selected threads from forums different from the current one, will be ignored.
This is because of vBulletin currently aren't able to check against the validity of a prefix for a given forum.

Installation & Upgrade: 3.7.0 beta 5 at least is required.
One step! Import the product file product-threadprefix_changeinline.xml and you're done.
Choose yes to overwrite for upgrading.

Very useful, thanks! I wanted to edit about 300 threads to add a prefix, and while I'd been hoping for a forumdisplay AJAX method to be released, this will do just fine instead! Thanks.

You like it? nominate it.

superb!

installed and very usefull!

how change prefixes on another language or put some more?

This is a vbulletin support question.

This mod will grab the prefixes automatically from your forums. no action is required by you for this mod to work.

thanks ...

I rated and installed, but forgot to nominate! I have done so, as it really deserves it. My favourire hacks are the ones which make my life easier where vB does not meet my admin needs.

It just need to be built in with vb as default. this hack is handy.

Thank you FleaBag

Thanks Milad ,

Have been waiting for this, thanks.

You're welcome!

You can forget what I was saying about AJAX too. After seeing this in action I am even more impressed! I thought selecting the threads would take me to another page where I would then need to select each prefix automatically.

I then realised I can select the prefixes in the drop down menu and apply the changes instantly. I'm going to do a few hundred threads now! :)

Milad thanks!

Suggestion: new future - Remove prefix (or Clear Prefix)

PS: and agree - this must be own vB function.

updated
ups.... sory for mistake with nickname =(

I'm going to take this into account. but only if the prefix - in a given forum - is not required.

No use for me yet, but if I need it, I will download and install. Nice job! :)

great, thank you :)

there is a small issue in this useful hack: when i change a prefix in forumdisplay is showed the new prefix, but in the index remains the old prefix ... the only method to see the correct (changed) prefix in forumhome is update counters ---> rebuild forum information ...

Good catch.
I'll fix it.

Regards

perfect :)

great job , i think that vBulletin should add this in default features ( b'coz this is very useful ).

there is a bug , b'coz i have some prefixes for all forums like : Help , News for all my forums and when i try to edit the prefix i can edit only prefix's created for one forum not for all .

ex:
IT News
Softwares
Tutorials
i can't edit the default prefix for these 3 forums , i can only edit the prefix for IT News or Softwares .

Sorry for my bad english , i hope that you understand this bug .

I advise you to edit prefixes per forum.

yeah , but i have too many forums :o .

This mod grabs the prefixes that are available for the current forum, those prefixes may not be valid for threads in another forum, so I can't help here certainly.

2.0.1 has just been released

• New feature: Remove prefix works only if prefixes are not required in the current forum.
• Screen shot updated to show the new feature.
• Bug fixed.

niceone dude! just updated!

I've just installed the plugin - but I don't see it the moderation pull down menu in any of the forums where prefixes are being used. I've tried intalling it a couple of times with no luck. I'm running Beta 6.

Any suggestions?

Forget what I said - not enough coffee this morning :o

All systems go :D

Tell me about it.

*installs*

Great work, man!

Nice hack!

I think a good addition to this would also be an ajax way of editing the prefix. Just like you can double click near a thread title to change the thread title, I would like to double click the thread prefix on forumdisplay and change it via a dropdown (ajax)

Just my $.02

I would like to change prefixes inline of a search result. The dropdown allows me to do it when I am looking at an entire forum. However there are no options when I try to do it with a search result.

There is no plan to add it to the search page.

nice thanks!

Where is the "Remove Prefix" feature?

Yep i have it and tested it yesterday and today :)

You tested the hack? I did too but unable to find where to remove the prefix.

select the thread from forum display then scroll down to the moderation option

you will be able to remove add and change thread prefix
