Require Topic Prefixes

[shining]

I think this is something we need.. (as long as there are no custom thread fields)

But... I have to admit: I am not really sure how to add prefixes correctly. Could someone please send me a link to a good tutorial or write one ? (the online documentary of vb5 does not help me)
What is the ID (how should it look like)
What is the difference between prefix category and then prefix itself
I really have no idea

Sp0rtsJunki3, I have fixed the bug and re-opened your order. You should receive an email containing the download link shortly.

Please let me know if this fixes the issue or not. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I will fix that bug.

Nice work.

One bug I found. If someone clicks the Preview button and previews their post, they can click the Post button from the preview screen and the topic will be posted without a prefix. They do get a prompt saying to select a prefix, but the prompt only stays up long enough for the topic to be saved to the database then you're redirected to the new post.

This plugin will allow vBulletin 5 forum admins to specify certain forum(s) to require all new topics to have a prefix attached to them. There will be a setting in the AdminCP to configure the selected forums. Leaving the setting as empty (which is the default) or zero means all forums have required prefix (if any).

This plugin does not require editing existing vBulletin templates. So you don't have to worry about template merge conflicts during upgrades.
