I had to make a small change to the file. I had forgotten to use the firstpost evaluation for the error message portion in edit post. The way I had it before editing the attachment, if you had the option to force users to use a prefix, none would have been able to edit their posts without getting the error to select a prefix. That has been fixed now, sorry.

you are welcome..

Hm ... problems.

Some of my useres cannot see the prefix-selection.
They so cannot open new threads in forums which have "forcecustonprefix" enabled.

I checked the permissions for every group and every forum. In the "user" table, the "Registered" group has "canusepostprefixes" enabled. In the "forumpermissions" table, virtually EVERY entry has "canusepostprefixes" enabled, also.

Doing the latter helped many users, but some not.
What might be the reason?

[burnz]

please check under Admin CP and under Forums & Moderator and click modify.. make sure the option under that particular forum is setting properly...

thanks for using my hack..

OK, I got the bug.

I have also installed the WYSIWYG Editor Hack but forgot to update its custom newthread an editpost templates for one Styleset. As a result, all users who are using the WYSIWYG editor AND this styleset, the prefix selection box was not shown to.

Thanks for your time, burnz, and for this well-written, powerfol and absolutely gorgeous hack!

Great Hack.

This has been something I was looking for.

Quick question though. For some reason, my post prefix does NOT appear if I select BE OVERWRITTEN, They Appear twice if I select SHOW BOTH and they appear right if I select OVERWRITE.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I read through the thread, and haven't found any answers.

Great Hack!

BE OVERWRITTEN means, the your prefixes are overwritten "Sticky", "Poll" etc.
Select OVERWRITE in order to let the vB-Prefixes be overwritten by your prefixes.
