Moderators Functions - Change Threads Prefix Inline

Brought to you by Syrian Medical Society & Milado

A version for 3.8.x

Introduction & Description:
It is difficult to change threads' prefixes, thread by thread, the editing process of each thread 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.

Features:

• One-click mass thread prefix changing (You can select a prefix in the drop down menu and apply the change instantly to many threads).
• Remove prefix: works only if prefixes are not required in the current forum.
• All changes are logged in the Moderator Log.

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

See the screenshot
Attachment 77054

Limitation:
You can't change threads' prefix across forums. any selected threads from forums different from the current one, will be ignored.
This is because of vBulletin currently aren't able to check against the validity of a prefix for a given forum.

Installation & Upgrade: 3.7.0 beta 5 at least is required.
One step! Import the product file product-threadprefix_changeinline.xml and you're done.
Choose yes to overwrite for upgrading.

I changed 400 prefixes one by one today. very long work! and I discovered this mod tonight.
Very handy and quick.
It should be included in vBulletin script.
Thank you.
Nominated.

I installed the hack on my RC4, but for some reason the options do not show up in the drop down box for me. Yes, the hack is installed (I double checked to make sure).

Make sure you updated your SHOWTHREAD template.

This option won't show if you make the prefix required for the given forum!

Thanks Milad, This makes sense now.

Is there a way to get this mod to show in the "search" inline mod dropdown? Will make life easy being able to search > select all > change prefix.

Thanks.

NVM: realized they stay selected so can goto a forum and then use the inline mod to change the prefix

[Milad]

This won't be done!

Because this mod works forum by forum, and it's not advised to use it for multiple forums!

works like a charm, awesome product

thanks
