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:

Hmmm, this wasnt' written to be used on the What's New page. I'll have to put a condition around it so it doesn't show then in my next release.

If you want to do it now, just put this around the plugin contents:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay') {
** the current plugin code **
}

Thanks for this great plugin Lynne

One question though, would it be possible to make it so that you can view all topics with the same prefix forum wide?
Or make it optional maybe.

I would like to present an easy list of important topics for new visitors, selected by their thread prefix.
For example, the URL would be something like "forumdisplay.php?prefixid=01".

Somebody already asked that question in this thread. I do not know how that is possible.

Hi Lynne,

I have added Prefix's [CN] [KR] [JP] etc. and force the Poster to use one to designate country, I Installed the mod as directed, but the Prefix is not Clikable. Could it be that the Brackets make the prefix Null? Or if I need to make different prefix's to suit the mod, pls advise.

[Lynne]

I use brackets in my prefixes, so that isn't it. Are you trying this on a default style? Also, you need to be using rich prefixes - did you make sure to enter the prefix text in that text box also?

Awesome, thank you.
