when i submit the form it resets >_<

The prefixes will be ordered and stored in the database. So it's normal that this form always shows the default options.

Mystics, is the current version of this hack compatible with the 3.6.4 release of VB? I have been seeing posts from some saying it works with no problems on their board while others are saying the complete opposite. I realize of course there is quite a diversity of configurations and user skill level so it's hard to take anyone's word.

Can you say either way if it is fully compatible with 3.6.4 or if an update is pending? Also, any word on whether this hack may get integrated into the 'officially' VB product down the road? Thanks and keep up the great work!

I did a clean install on vB 3.6.4 then installed this mod and the search by prefix still doesn't work.

This is the type of post I'm referring (is it not fully compatible or perhaps the installation was not fully correct, etc?). Unfortunately, not being able to implement this hack is the major roadblock for me launching my site. :cry:

*Is this very forum (vbulletin.org) using Mystics's prefix hack or their own version?

the reason is, that some of the files/lines have been moved from vB you just have to do a little foot work yourself. it is working you have my promise on that. I'm using it on 3.6.4

Thanks for the reply GNDI! Glad to hear that, any chance that someone might document the necessary changes so any of us having problems can hop aboard the prefix loving train too?

in search.php seems to fix the search by prefix problem.

Installed.

Hope to see a version that can auto edit templates... I was very afraid to break something when editing the templates and files lol.

Is this the only change that needs to be done to make this hack fully compaitible with version 3.6.4? Can Mystics confirm on this by any chance? :classic:

Thanks for the mod, quite easy to install and easy to configure exactly to my liking. Would prefer to be able to set global prefixes instead of the forum-by-forum basis but I'll live with it.

It seems my only problem post-install of this mod is that the text/links for my similiar threads on the showthreads page are now blank. I don't need the prefixes to appear there, so any chance of getting the code I need to restore it to previous functionality?

NEVER mind...

I figured it out. lol :alien:

Thanks!

Hello All,

I'd like to know few points before installing :

- is it possible for Admin to change prefix if poster was wrong?
- or is it possible to let this hack used only by Admin (but seen by all users)?
- what happens if there is already a sticky prefix for sticky threads? Does Mystics prefix stand before or after the sticky one? (in case of no use of column, of course)

And finally, would it be hard to implement a default "Prefixed threads" button (or something about) in the navbar in order to display all these in one click while arriving on the board?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Limerick,

1) Sure every Mod can change the prefix if necessary
2) That just doesn't make any sense I'm afraid, you can deactivate the prefixes per forum, but not per usergroup
3) before

and finally:
in fact I don't think this is very easy, according to the changes you've made there will be differnet sets of prefixes for every forum.
You can filter searchresults by prefix, but you'll have to have a searchterm too.
To just find every thread just with a prefix would be a sql query with a huge result if not filtered by forum or searchterm or user or...

If you want to find threads with a prefix from admin control panel maybe my small add-on will help (see first-post)
but for users.... that one's useless

Hi Sid,

Thanks for your answer.

1) Ok, great.
2) That makes sense to me (or to my board, to be more accurate). In fact, it belongs to me to decide what prefix to set before thread title. It would be a way to define a thread "in course", "solved", "important", etc...
3) Humm... after would have been better...

4) (And finally... ) I would need all these prefixed thread (or some of them, by type), to be pinned at the top of the forumhome (plus to their own forum). I thought I've seen a board somewhere which had such feature... but I don't remember where...

I'm going to see your add-on,

Thank you anyway.
