Mini Mods - Change Threads Prefix Inline

Brought to you by Syrian Medical Society & Milado

Introduction & Description:
It was difficult to change a thread prefix, thread by thread, the editing process of first post to change the prefix is inappropriate and it takes a long time.
This product allows you to set a prefix to multiple threads inline, using the moderation drop-down menu in forum display page (see the screen shoot). you will save your time and effort.

Installation:
One step! Import the product file product-threadprefix_changeinline.xml and you're done.

Of course, it depends on the product Thread Prefixes 1.6.1 which must be installed.

You may also upload the language file for your language if it's attached below.

How to use?
It works exactly like closing, opening, sticking or unsticking multiple threads inline.

Change log:
- 1.0.0 released on April, 16 2007
- 1.1.0 released on September, 13 2007 (Added the default prefixes and fixed some bugs)

This seems to be a problem with vBulletin. Text like this <text> will be interpreted as pseudo html tag. Try this [text] to avoid any problems.

You have to change prefix forum by forum, don't try to apply a prefix in a forum to a thread in another forum.

Hi Milad,

it is not possible to unassign selected threads. Could you add this?

not forward compatible - if a prefix is similar to one of the default admin dropdown values it will not work..

for example, if you or the staff creates a prefix called "close", "open", etc .. it will conflict with existing values

hence, this modification may have a negative affect on new options that jelsoft may add (in the future) to the admin moderation dropdown menu

a fix would be to prepend 'p_' to each prefix value (forumdisplay_start)

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['allowprefix'])
{
    if (!function_exists(insert_to_template))
    {
        function insert_to_template($templatename, $remark, $location, $position = 'after')
        {
            global $vbulletin;
            
            if ($position == 'after')
            {
                $location = $remark . $location;
            }
            else if ($position == 'before')
            {
                $location = $location . $remark;
            }
            
            $vbulletin->templatecache[$templatename] = str_replace($remark, $location, $vbulletin->templatecache[$templatename]);
        }
    }
    
    insert_to_template('FORUMDISPLAY', '<optgroup label=\"____________________\">', $vbulletin->templatecache['forumdisplay_inlineprefix'], 'before');
    
    $prefix_array = explode("\r\n", trim($foruminfo['threadprefix']));
    
    foreach ($prefix_array as $key => $value)
    {
        $inlineprefix .= "\t\t\t\t\t<option value=\"p_" . urlencode($value) . "\">$value</option>\r\n";
        //DEVDEBUG("prefix = ". $value);
    }
    unset($prefix_array);
} 


and remove 'p_' in inlinemod_action_switch before any action is taken

I changed inlinemod_action_switch to:

PHP Code:

if  ($foruminfo['allowprefix'])
{    
    $prefix_array = explode("\r\n", trim($foruminfo['threadprefix']));
    
    $newprefix = urldecode($_POST['do']);
    // remove 'p_' 
    $newprefix = str_replace('p_', '', $newprefix);
    
    if (in_array($newprefix, $prefix_array))
    {
        /**
        * $newprefix exists in database so let's go ahead and use it
        * $newprefix exists so let's change $_POST action
        * Check threadids exist
        */
        
        $handled_do = true;
        $_POST['do'] = 'changeprefix';
        
        if (empty($vbulletin->GPC['tlist']))
        {
            eval(standard_error(fetch_error('you_did_not_select_any_valid_threads')));
        }
        
        if (count($vbulletin->GPC['tlist']) > $threadlimit)
        {
            eval(standard_error(fetch_error('you_are_limited_to_working_with_x_threads', $threadlimit)));
        }
        
        $threadids = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['tlist']);
    }
    // we're finished with $prefix_array
    unset($prefix_array);
}
