Filter Threads By Post Icon

Yep, tested and works w/ 3.6.0, no code changes at all. You can find the 3.6.x thread for this hack here.

This is the 3.5.x version of JMPZ's hack by the same name. (linkage)

This hack allows you to click on a post icon, and it will show only the threads with this particular post icon. Once this happens an unfilter button will appear, allowing the user to once again view all threads.

As for WHY someone would want this, here's an answer to that question:

Some forums use the forum icons to convey if a thread has been sufficiently answered or not, or to convey some other meaning. If a poster wants to look for unanswered threads, they could sort by the icon used for the thread.

Think of this as a poor man's thread prefix hack

hmmm.. .seems like im getting the following error when i edit the last template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /var/www/html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3519) : eval()'d code on line 69

Remove that one, go 15 lines down, look for:

<tr>
	<if condition="$show['threadicons']">

That's the right one. Can't find out what executes the first code, but that should do it.
