Forum Display Enhancements - Auto assign / Default thread prefix when posting a new thread

What does this do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Automatically assign a Thread Prefix to a certain forum, so if a user posts a new thread this prefix will be displayed automatically.

For Example:
You have a forum where Software bugs can be posted. You want each new thread to have the prefix "Unconfirmed" when being posted. You can specify the prefix_id in your forum settings and this mod will automatically set the prefix you entered to each new thread that is being posted

This mod does not obey prefix user group permissions. Please make sure that you assigned the prefix set properly to that forum and check if you entered the correct name.

INSTALL
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Import the attached product
2. Click install in this thread!

USAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Check the prefix_id by going to admincp -> Thread Prefix Manager
2. Click on your Prefix you want to use, copy the "Prefix ID"
3. Goto admincp -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager
4. Find the Forum where you want to assign the Prefix on each new thread
5. Choose "Edit Forum" -> Go
6. Scroll to the bottom of the Page and locate "Default Forum Thread Prefix"
5. Insert your "Prefix ID" and hit SAVE
6. Done

Has anybody got this working on 3.8.5?

It's installed and all the options are there but no pre-fixes are showing.

I am trying to make the Reported Posts Threads have a prefix, but now would this be a problem because the forum is for mods only?

[viper357]

Ok, it looks like a permissions problem, the prefixes are working fine in the normal public forum, but not for threads created in the mods and admin only forums, how can I get around this? Thanks.

@viper357 If you still need any help just pm me your changed version and I will take a look at it. Please include a detailed description of what exactly is not working and maybe some screenshots.

@all If there are any requests/bugs you might need help with pleas post here or pm me. I will subscribe to this thread, now and I can finally do some more changes if needed.

Hi,

Just to confirm this is working fine on vB 4.0.6.

Thanks.

I would like to see an addition to this modification. If you move a thread from a forum that does not have a prefix into a forum that has a forced prefix, that thread should automatically take on the prefix.

I would LOVE to see this. Reason being, when my mods move a thread into a trash forum I've created, I want it to be clearly labeled as trash automatically.

Was this ever fixed? - I'd love to have reported post using prefixes assigned to that forum.

Thanks

Very useful - but I'm afraid that it doesn't work for us - www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk

[Bankfodder]

In fact I think that it clashes with the vB obligatory - require prefix function so I am afraid that there is a bug here

This seems to work fine if a human creates the thread, however i wanted to use this on a forum that posts RSS feed threads via cron job. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to include RSS bots/automatically generated threads in the modification?
