MyBB Hacks - [SOLVED] How to sort Thread Prefixes menu in a new thread by name (not by ID)

I wish to change the thread prefix order by name instead of prefix id which is default. I found this topic on myBB wiki, but I could not find the related text in the file mentioned in the wiki:

Code:

			http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Admin_CP_Config_Thread_Prefixes#Can_I_change_the_thread_prefix_order_on_their_li​stings_.3F

Can someone help me?

Rather than just saying solved, why not post how you solved it for other users who might be interested?

You are right, sorry Smile

Here is the solution:

Find in /inc/class_datacache.php

Code:

			function update_threadprefixes()
    {
        global $db;

        $prefixes = array();
        $query = $db->simple_select("threadprefixes", "*", "", array("order_by" => "pid"));

        while($prefix = $db->fetch_array($query))
        {
            $prefixes[$prefix['pid']] = $prefix;
        }

        $this->update("threadprefixes", $prefixes);
    }

Replace with:

Code:

			function update_threadprefixes()
    {
        global $db;

        $prefixes = array();
        $query = $db->simple_select("threadprefixes", "*", "", array("order_by" => "prefix"));

        while($prefix = $db->fetch_array($query))
        {
            $prefixes[$prefix['pid']] = $prefix;
        }

        $this->update("threadprefixes", $prefixes);
    }

Maybe you need to run the Rebuild Cache for the threadprefix cache after change the order (or, you can re-save a thread prefix, so MyBB will rebuild the cache).

Because asking in multiple forums not only ++postcount, but gives yourself more attention.

If you're going to post a question on the MyBB community forums, please don't post it here.

Oh right, sorry, I did not realise he was asking all over the mybb community.
