[Add-on] Thread Prefixes: Quick Prefix Filter · **Released**: 09-03-2006

Requires Thread Prefixes:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123033

This just adds a little drop down to filter a forum by prefix. It will only show up if the forum has prefixes enabled. On my site I use it so that I don't need to have lots of little subforums, I have one central forum per area of the site and this filter lets them see all of one prefix type in the manner of a subforum, which in my opinion is tidier. See screenshots for my example.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style manager --> [Style you want to edit] --> Edit templates --> Forum Display --> FORUMDISPLAY

Find:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$pagenav">

Insert above/before:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- START FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

<td class="smallfont"></form>

<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="f" value="$forumid" />

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="$pagenumber" />

<input type="hidden" name="pp" value="$perpage" />

<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="lastpost" $sort[lastpost] />

<input type="hidden" name="order" value="desc" $order[desc] />

<input type="hidden" name="daysprune" value="-1" $daysprunesel[all] />

        <if condition="$show['threadprefix']">

Show this type of thread: $threadprefixes

<input type="submit" class="button" value="Show" /></form></if></td>

<!-- END FILTER TEMPLATE EDIT -->

You can edit the "type of thread" text to whatever suits your forum.

Its working fine on mine, just let me know if there are any errors.

my site require registration but maybe someone else could post theirs?
Theres not much more to it than the screenshots anyway. its just a simple drop-down list that filters to threads with only the selected prefix.

is it possible to limit this to one forum or is it site wide?

it only appears if a particular forum has Thread Prefixes enabled. you could limit it to one specific forum with thread prefixes enabled by adding an <if> statement around the whole thing.

I saw this release the other day and thought it was nothing special lol, but even before that I have been looking everywhere for the prefix hack, but wasnt searching for the word prefix led me knowwhere lol, so now that I understand what this does, it is really good.

In the forums that this mod acts in (forums with active prefix fields) it seems to break the AJAX menu system. No dropdown menus work, however forums where it isnt running do have working AJAX menus.

Any idea why this would be?

vB v3.6.1

could i have a link to your forum to check it out? i presume you mean the DHTML menu, rather than an ajax modification?
