Forum Display Enhancements - Clickable, Sortable Prefixes

Clickable, Sortable Prefixes


Please mark as "Installed" if you use this modification, thanks !

Ok guys, some of you might be wondering what this does (most of you are)... so here it is: Instead of having simple text prefixes, this template modification will allow you to click any prefix and sort them.

This is an alternative to the sorting dropdown menus that are under the Forum Display.

So here's what you gotta do.

First of all, go to your AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Select Style -> Edit Templates -> threadbit.

Good now your editing the threadbit template.
Find:

PHP Code:

$thread[prefix_rich] 


And replace it with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$thread['prefix_rich']"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]&amp;prefixid=$thread[prefixid]">$thread[prefix_rich]</a></if> 


All done... simple but effective

What would it be called to have the prefix after the actual thread title?
Is there anything like this or can it be done with this hack with some modifications

You should edit your code to encode the ampersand, or else it comes up as XHTML Invalid.

<if condition="$thread['prefix_rich']"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]&;ampprefixid=$thread[prefixid]"> $thread[prefix_rich]</a></if>

Thanks, i didn't gave much thought to that.

Any possible way to get the prefix as a title on the page?

Something like "Viewing all threads marked Modifications" at the top of the page when viewing all threads prefixed by Modifications.

(Don't need the html, just the variable if it's at all possible).

[Magnumutz]

Of course it's possible... just that i don't know how and i'm pretty sure it would require some plugins and hooks.

Real nice hack! Only thing I see 'missing' so to speak, is a way to remove the prefix filter by clicking a link. Users might get confused and not realise they need to re-browse to the forum to remove the prefix filter.

Also with the update to the code, seems its not working anymore, when I click the Prefix, it doesn't do anything. Probably something to do with vbseo?

The link location gives me this when I hover over the Prefix:
http://xxxx.com/f18/?;ampprefixid=Prefix

I have the same problem, and similar link to what you have with the vbseo, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Try using this guys:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$thread['prefix_rich']"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]?prefixid=$thread[prefixid]">$thread[prefix_rich]</a></if>
