SMF Post Prefix

[landyvlad]

You mean more than one prefix per thread title? That'd be a visual nightmare IMHO.
It's not designed as a tag system which seems like what you are wanting.

A note of thanks to Diego Andrés

Diego, aside from anti-spam,  this is hands down the most useful mod I have on my forum.  It's perfect for my forum with technical threads, how to's, and the sale forums as well.

Let's just say that I won't be upgrading to 2.1 until (and unless) a 2.1 version is ultimately available.

(Fully understand you'd want to wait until RC at least, before tackling that). This is just encouragement to assure you it will be worthwhile

Thanks again.

[StarredSkies]

Yep, exactly what I meant. Visual nightmare indeed haha.

<333 thank you

Side note: Is there any possibility of adding the option to have more than one prefix in the future? This would be SUPER helpful.

Approved this idea too

[Diego Andrés]

I've thought about the multiple prefixes.
It's possible but that would turn it into a label mod or similar.
Could be included as a feature or a whole different thing.

Thanks a lot.
A version for 2.1 is already done for the most part since this mod uses hooks, but of course it's been a while so I'll have to update it again. But yes, won't be available until the RC version of 2.1



About the issue mentioned I haven't been ale to reproduce it but there might be something so I'll try to do some more tests.

Would getting access to my site helps?

[StarredSkies]

That'd definitely be a helpful modification... maybe in the future?

Is it possible to remove the option of no prefix so they have to select a prefix - I have a coupla forums where they should select a prefix

Put those boards in the require prefix section and it will force users to select one.

I have the board selected under that section but still get No Prefix option

Yes - I've done this on my forums for the same reason (it didn't make sense to me to have a 'No Prefix' option if a prefix is required - as opposed to being optional - for a specific board).

In ./Themes/default/Post.template.php
Find:

Code Select Expand

<select name="id_prefix" id="id_prefix">
<optgroup label="', $txt['PostPrefix_select_prefix'], '">
<option value="0"', ($context['id_prefix'] == 0) ? ' selected' : '' ,'>', $txt['PostPrefix_prefix_none'], '</option>';


Replace With:

Code Select Expand

<select name="id_prefix" id="id_prefix">',
// Only add the "[No Prefix]" option if a prefix is NOT required.
($_SESSION['require_prefix'] == 0) ? '<optgroup label="' . $txt['PostPrefix_select_prefix'] . '">
<option value="0"' . ($context['id_prefix'] == 0) ? ' selected' : '' . '>' . $txt['PostPrefix_prefix_none'] . '</option>' : '';

Thanks GL700Wing, that's done the job

[Cathal]

Is it possible to have groups of prefixes i.e. for one board  there is certain prefixes but for another board there is another group of prefixes

[StarredSkies]

If you mean dedicating a certain prefix to a certain board, yes. When adding your prefix, click on the 'Usable in:' option and select the board you would like to use that prefix in. Repeat this step with the others.

Hmm RC1 is happening (admittedly it's not the ACTUAL RC1 it's the nightly github updates BUT it's getting close) so have you considered releasing a 2.1 version as a test/beta  version ?

[Diego Andrés]

I will release it once I get a chance to update the build, shouldn't take that long.

Regards

[landyvlad]

Cool thanks for letting me know.
It's one of my "must have" mods it's fantastic 👍

[landyvlad]

Woohoo - RC1 formally released !

Waiting with bated breath



I'm just keen, but not expecting you to drop everything to update the mod.
"It'll happen when it happens" is fine by me mate

[Diego Andrés]

Yeah, hopefully this month 

[landyvlad]

Cool. Thanks Diego
