Prefixes

[Amaury]

One of the reasons I don't have prefixes set and rather more sub-forums is because I don't like how the prefix shows up on the users' locations on Who's Online and profiles.

For example, "Viewing Thread [Resolved] Bug with the Forum." I would rather it just show, "Viewing Thread Bug with the Forum" and only have the prefixes display on FORUMHOME, the threadbit and the postbit.

Is it possible to make prefixes not show in the users' locations if a thread has a prefix?

[Amaury]

Scratch that. I want to hide it on FORUMHOME, too, for the sake of space.

Really how important is the prefix in the profile and WOL, it's not like thre are thousands of users looking at that info.

To remove it from forum home, ACP / Settings / Options / Forum Listings Display Options, set Show Thread Prefix in Last Post Column? to No

Just because you don't find it useful or don't see a reason for it doesn't mean others don't.

And thanks for the FORUMHOME one.

That is why I asked a reasoning behind it.

Find the template that is used in the area you want to remove it, do a search in the template for "prefix" and remove that bit of code.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

I already know the templates, but I'm not finding prefix anywhere.

There is not, I suspect this can not be done by simple template edits, it may require file edits somewhere.

And the template is.... ?

The template I looked in was WHOSONLINE and it reads the thread title with the prefix with the following:

{vb:raw userinfo.where}
