More than one prefix, and category view doesn't work?

nashira · March 2012

This discussion is related to the DiscussionPrefix addon.

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to have more than one prefix for members to choose from, and also if there was some way to make the prefixes work when you click through from a category. Though the latter is more pressing than the former.

Can you explain the latter further then? As much details and examples as you can, please :-)

This is what I mean, the prefix will show up just fine on the /discussions page, like so:

But if you look at the topics in their individual categories, there is no prefix

It doesn't matter which theme I use, it just doesn't work that way for some reason?

You will need to add functions similar to those ones for the categories (in the plugin):

/**
   * Add prefix to discussion name in single discussion view
     (vanilla/controllers/class.discussioncontroller.php)
   */
public function DiscussionController_BeforeDiscussionRender_Handler(&$Sender) {
   if($Sender->Discussion->Prefixed == 1)
         $Sender->Discussion->Name = C('Plugins.DiscussionPrefix.Prefix').' '.$Sender->Discussion->Name;
 }

/**
* Add prefix to each discussion name in list view
*/
public function DiscussionsController_BeforeDiscussionName_Handler(&$Sender) {
  if($Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']->Prefixed == 1)
     $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']->Name = ('Plugins.DiscussionPrefix.Prefix').' '.$Sender->EventArguments['Discussion']->Name;
}

Thanks, I'll have a look at that, I guess.

Howdy, Stranger!
