Thread prefixes are a structured way to specify how certain topics are discussed within a forum. You create prefix sets which contain many prefixes and can be tied to any number of forums.
When a user creates a thread, he or she will have the option of specifying a prefix to the thread title. This prefix can be used to filter threads within the forum or searched on.
For example, you may wish to use prefixes in a marketplace forum, where people post "Wanted" and "For Sale"
entries. Alternatively, if you have multiple products and only one announcement forum, you could have prefix threads in that forum depending on the product they relate to.
Users will then see the selected prefix where ever the thread title is shown:
The thread prefix manager is where you create new and edit prefixes or edit your existing prefix sets. Prefixes and prefix sets are shown in the order they will actually display in; you can quickly change this order by changing the numbers in the text boxes and clicking "Save Display Order".
Before you can create any prefixes, you must create one or more prefix sets. Prefix sets are simply a way of tying together related prefixes. When you select which forums will allow prefixes, you will enable one or more prefix sets for the forum.
z Prefix Set ID - This is the unique identifier for this prefix set. Only one set can have this value and the value may only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and _ (underscores) only.
z Title - This is the title of this prefix set. You should not use any special HTML markup. It will be shown when administering thread prefixes or if a user must choose between prefixes in more than one set.
z Use Prefix Set in These Forums - Prefix sets must be attached to forums before they can be used.
Select the forum or forums this prefix set will be available in using this field. Once you do this, when a user creates a new thread in a selected forum, he or she will be able to select a prefix from this set.
z Display Order - The sorting order for sets. Sets with lower values will be shown before sets with higher values. Note that the display order setting for individual prefixes only controls their order within the set.
Once you have created a prefix set, you may add any number of prefixes to that set. If a thread has a prefix applied to it, the prefix will show anywhere the thread title shows. For that reason, you must define two versions of the prefix: a plain text version and a rich text version. See below for more information.
