New Posting Features - Prefix Management - Forum prefix limited by usergroup

Another personal product, but thought I would share (I have no idea if anyone else has done this already).

What this mod does...
I wanted to limit forum prefixes to just admin and moderators in some forums while allowing members in other usergroups to use them in other forums.
This product lets you restrict who can use prefixes on a forum by forum basis.


After installing the product you need to edit template 'newthread'.

PLEASE NOTE: There are TWO (2) identical conditions that need replacing.
Find the first one and replace... look about 10 lines down and you will see another. This needs replacing too!

FIND:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$prefix_options"> 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$prefix_options AND ($prefix_allowed == "unrestricted" OR (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $prefix_allowed)))"> 


To restrict forum prefix by usergroup, goto 'Forum Manager'.


Hope this is of use to someone else.

Thanks for this info as I had a regular user edit his/her post then added a prefix. I hold a support forum so there is only 3 prefixes I have and a user can't state resolved or inactive when they just posted Came here then to see the editpost part needed.
