Forum Display Enhancements - Make Prefixes Clickable to Filter Forumdisplay

This is another modification which should be standard vbulletin. I wrote a template modification, but have now written one that is just a plugin. This template modification will make your thread prefixes clickable. If you click on the prefix, then the forumdisplay will only show threads with that prefix in that forum. Then, if you click on the prefix again, it will show all the threads.

Click to Filter Forum by this Prefixid:


Click to Show All Threads:


Version History:
1.0 2009-12-22: - initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org
1.1 2010-01-05 - fixed issue of bad link showing up in search results - clickable prefixes will only show on forumdisplay as they are supposed to now.

To Install:

1. Import product-lynne_click_prefix.xml

To Uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Make Prefixes Clickable to Filter Forumdisplay"

If that doesn't work, then please link to the page on your site so I can see your CSS.

I had the same challenge and fixed it in one sql update query in php myadmin - i used bold black format :

update vb_phrase set text=concat('<span style="color: black;"><b>',text,'</b></span>') where left(varname,6)='prefix' and right(varname,4)='rich'

Works perfectly! Thanks so much!

Excellent MOD!. Is it possible to make Prefixes part of the sidebar column where it lists all the prefixes of the forum and user clicks on a prefix in sidebar, threads w/ prefix show up on forumdisplay.
Thank you Lynne,

how do I make them clickable from forum home, and categories. they are only clickable when browsing that sub-forum

UPDATE:
it works on all subforums but not on the forum home. unable to click on them. would be nice if you could and it would send you to the subforum or foum it is posted under with the search results

example:
Make (Pre-Fix can not be clicked)
-------Model (Pre-Fix is clickable)
--------------Trim Level (Pre-Fix is clickable)

This is a great mod that was working beautifully for me until recently. I just upgraded to 4.1.8 and suspect that might be the problem.

Can anyone else confirm if this is working in 4.1.8?
