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

[Divvy]

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?

You are right, sorry

Here is the solution:

Find in /inc/class_datacache.php

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

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:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

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.
