You need to manually edit the row in the thread table as this hack doesn't have any built in may of editing them.

one question ...

how to do can make different prefixes show up in different forums?

like here... only full releases forum have the prefixes..

[NTLDR]

You need to change the code to specify the forum id(s) that you wish to include custom prefixes for like the following:

PHP Code:

if ($permissions['canusecustomprefixes'] == "1" && $forumid == '69' OR $forumid == '16' OR $forumid == '73' OR $forumid == '49' OR $forumid == '50' OR $forumid == '81') {

I've downloaded and installed the hack from the above link. And that was like a goose hunt to get that. :s

Anyway, Everything seems to be okay except for a few things:

1) A couple of the queries came back with errors saying duplicate id.

2) The custom post prefix options in the admin cp are not right. It's something to do with a poll, not the prefixes (though the category title is correct). Here's what I get:

Results Per Page
The number of entries to be displayed on the "View Quiz Results" and "Quiz Category" pages.

Passing Percentage
The percentage of questions a quiz user must answer to succesfully pass a quiz.

Quiz Display Cutoff
The number of high scores/recent results to display on the quiz display page.

Display Author's Results?
The option to "hide" any quiz results taken by the author of the quiz.

Sound weird? I'll post a screenshot if needed, but at the moment my psp is acting bad.

Sounds like you have the vBquiz hack installed Which is not what this hack was expecting

Are the options in the Admin CP, just without a link at the top?

But I don't have the vbquiz hack installed. :s

The options aren't in the admin cp, what I quoted above is what is in the admin cp under "Custom Post Prefix". *lol* Is there a way to .... dump the queries of the first three (in the instructions) and rerun them? Or does that make sense?

I'll try to find everything I have to be more clear and post back later.

You have it semi-installed though

[Rose]

Hrm. You know what, NTLDR - I do remember trying to install it. But it didn't do anything that I wanted and I thought I took it all out. Is there a way to take it out so I can fix the postprefix? I guess I better head over to the quiz hack and see if there's a uninstall. It added the 'quiz' templates three times to my default template set. So...yeah. It made me upset and I've still got all those unused templates taht I need to delete. (If you know a quick mass-delte templates, pm me! Unless I can acheive this via TBS, which I will try soon). Anyway, back on track....uninstall..
