Auto assign / Default thread prefix when posting a new thread
 

What does this do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Automatically assign a Thread Prefix to a certain forum, so if a user posts a new thread this prefix will be displayed automatically.

For Example:
You have a forum where Software bugs can be posted. You want each new thread to have the prefix "Unconfirmed" when being posted. You can specify the prefix_id in your forum settings and this mod will automatically set the prefix you entered to each new thread that is being posted

This mod does not obey prefix user group permissions. Please make sure that you assigned the prefix set properly to that forum and check if you entered the correct name.

INSTALL
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Import the attached product
2. Click install in this thread!

USAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Check the prefix_id by going to admincp -> Thread Prefix Manager
2. Click on your Prefix you want to use, copy the "Prefix ID"
3. Goto admincp -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager
4. Find the Forum where you want to assign the Prefix on each new thread
5. Choose "Edit Forum" -> Go
6. Scroll to the bottom of the Page and locate "Default Forum Thread Prefix"
5. Insert your "Prefix ID" and hit SAVE
6. Done

Need this for 3.8

Did you try this on vb 3.8? I haven't tested it there...

I just installed it on my 3.8.4 PL2 installation and it seems to work fine. I had to change the minimum version in the XML file so it would import it, but it seems to be working without any problems...

Nice.

Hmm. Can this modification automatically choose a default thread prefix if someone hasn't chosen one and ONLY if they haven't chosen one? I understand your example, but I want to allow people to choose one and if they don't then have it chosen for them.

hmm, I guess not. I will try to correct this behavior in the next few days. Thank you for getting my attention on this.


//EDIT: After further investigation I found out that this is not possible. There are only 2 hooks in the newthread.php for posting. newthread_post_start and newthread_post_complete. There is no way to check if the user input or chose any prefix. Im sorry that I cant add this but if you are still interested in another solution you would have to edit the core files.

Is there anyway possible this can be combined with reported posts? I'd like to have them automatic prefixed. Tried to do so with a selected report section and added the PrefixID, but it doesn't seem to work with reported posts/threads.

Hey,

I really appreciate you looking into that for me, Oh well, I was hoping!

It probably could. Im really busy right now so I really don't have any free time to create a product for this right now. Just check back as long as their is no plugin for this I will try to create one.

Ditto request.

Working fine on 3.8.4. Thanks so much for this. :)

Edit: nvm working..

Has anybody got this working on 3.8.5?

It's installed and all the options are there but no pre-fixes are showing.

I am trying to make the Reported Posts Threads have a prefix, but now would this be a problem because the forum is for mods only?

Ok, it looks like a permissions problem, the prefixes are working fine in the normal public forum, but not for threads created in the mods and admin only forums, how can I get around this? Thanks. :)

@viper357 If you still need any help just pm me your changed version and I will take a look at it. Please include a detailed description of what exactly is not working and maybe some screenshots.

@all If there are any requests/bugs you might need help with pleas post here or pm me. I will subscribe to this thread, now and I can finally do some more changes if needed.

Hi,

Just to confirm this is working fine on vB 4.0.6.

Thanks.

I would like to see an addition to this modification. If you move a thread from a forum that does not have a prefix into a forum that has a forced prefix, that thread should automatically take on the prefix.

I would LOVE to see this. Reason being, when my mods move a thread into a trash forum I've created, I want it to be clearly labeled as trash automatically.

Was this ever fixed? - I'd love to have reported post using prefixes assigned to that forum.

Thanks

Very useful - but I'm afraid that it doesn't work for us - www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk

In fact I think that it clashes with the vB obligatory - require prefix function so I am afraid that there is a bug here

This seems to work fine if a human creates the thread, however i wanted to use this on a forum that posts RSS feed threads via cron job. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to include RSS bots/automatically generated threads in the modification?

Just installed in 4.1.9
Working perfectly.
Thank you for this mod!!

Does it work on 4.1.12?

BIG +1

Crap...

anyone test "Auto assign / Default thread prefix when posting a new thread" on 4.2 ?

I just tested and I cant get it to work for 4.21

After setting everything, No Prefix is being shown once posted in that specific thread

same on 4.2

unfortanetly this mod is incompatible with VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics.
Prefix doesn't show up on this mod... Is there any fix?
