Forum Display Enhancements - Make Prefixes Clickable to Filter Forumdisplay

This is another modification which should be standard vbulletin. I wrote a template modification, but have now written one that is just a plugin. This template modification will make your thread prefixes clickable. If you click on the prefix, then the forumdisplay will only show threads with that prefix in that forum. Then, if you click on the prefix again, it will show all the threads.

Click to Filter Forum by this Prefixid:


Click to Show All Threads:


Version History:
1.0 2009-12-22: - initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org
1.1 2010-01-05 - fixed issue of bad link showing up in search results - clickable prefixes will only show on forumdisplay as they are supposed to now.

To Install:

1. Import product-lynne_click_prefix.xml

To Uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Make Prefixes Clickable to Filter Forumdisplay"

That is a forum.php page. As I said, it only works on the forumdisplay.php pages.

You would probably need to create a new plugin to do that using one of the search_* hook locations.

Hi Lynne, sorry to bother you. But the idea comes from a usage of you plugin.

Any chance, that you will be interested to create a plugin that removes any prefix from closed threads if any?

I am not modifying this plugin, but someone else is welcome to modify and release it.

Installed and working fine, thanks.
I also translated it into Spanish. If someone is interested in it just let me know.

I was wondering if it was possible to have a way to say have a drop down or legend on the forum section page that would do this, incase a prefix that i wanted to sort by was not on the first page?

It would be pretty handy to check things that we may have forgotten to look at.

Of course there is a way to do that, but it isn't part of this modification. You would need to coe something like that or try a search and see if someone else has coded it.

Temp disabled. There's a bug with this plugin on the default vB4 mobile theme, when clicking on threads it selects the pre-fix instead of which shows the entire prefix thread list rather than going to the thread that you selected. I've tested it and doesn't matter where I click, it shows the prefix list.

You could just disable it in the mobile style by adding another condition to the condition in the plugin:

PHP Code:

 AND $vbulletin->options['styleid'] != 2
