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:

I had the same problem on default mobile style. The user has the potential to get stuck in a never ending loop of filtering by prefix and then listing by all threads.

To fix go to AdminCP > Plugin Manager > Make Prefix Clickable > [Edit]

Search for this line:

if ($thread['prefixid'] AND $thread['prefix_rich'] AND THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay')

And replace with:

if ($thread['prefixid'] AND $thread['prefix_rich'] AND THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay' AND $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] != 4)

*Change 4 to the number of your default mobile theme to disable the plugin on the mobile theme.

Awesome plugin by the way Lynne.

One of the most useful mods around!

Here's a question to any erstwhile coders here: what would it take to add the filtered prefix name to the page title when filtered?

Thanks Lynne, we been building a Directory using the prefixes and this is just great for us.

We are trying to move the Search Block below the posts on top as we speak.

I wonder what it would take to modify this to work the same way but with Post Icons instead of Prefixes? I tried doing so myself with no success.

work fine on my forum .. vB 4.2.1 ,,

[The_Hawk]

Installed and working nicely for me... although this isn't what I was originally looking for (and still am).

I'm looking for something that does the opposite, ie allows you to click a button and EXCLUDE a certain prefix (with the ability to toggle on/off). Is there anyway to modify this to do that?

[Wajow-community]

why i dont see it in admincp - option?

[Lynne]

There is nothing to see in the admincp. It's only a product, so it only shows up in the Manage Products area.
