Paid Mod Require Topic Prefixes

[glennrocksvb]

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.

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.

Thanks for the feedback. I will fix that bug.

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!

[Sp0rtsJunki3]

That did the trick, you are awesome! More ideas coming your way shortly.

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

[glennrocksvb]

Add a prefix category then add prefixes under it. The prefixes are what show up on the site. The category is just to organize the prefixes.

Super cool, Exactly what i need right now, This will be in my first order after i upgrade my license to self hosted.

Hi, I have a problem. I have added a new user group and this group is not required to select a prefix before posting. Any solution ? What can it be?

[chicoynano]

It is already resolved, thank you

[glennrocksvb]

Glad you fixed it.

cant get it to work with VB 5.45 ..its turned on node ids are set and users can still post away without using a prefix..

[glennrocksvb]

Do you see the Prefix dropdown before the topic title textbox? Did you set the forum node IDs delimited by comma?

And since you bought a branded version, make sure the branding in the footer is not turned off.
