[XenCustomize] Thread Prefix Filter 2.0.6

XenCustomize Thread Prefix Filter for XenForo 2​

Make thread browsing easier with fast, flexible prefix filtering and smarter prefix organization.

XenCustomize Thread Prefix Filter makes XenForo thread prefixes more useful by giving members a convenient prefix filter directly in forum views.

For communities that use prefixes to organize discussions, members can quickly narrow down thread lists and find relevant content without digging through unrelated threads.

Admins can hide unused prefixes, display prefix usage counts, control prefix sorting, exclude selected forums, and optionally integrate usage information from XenCustomize Multiple Prefixes.

Key Benefits​

• Find relevant threads faster with convenient prefix filtering in forum views
• Make better use of thread prefixes as a practical browsing and discovery tool
• Keep the filter relevant by optionally hiding prefixes that are not currently used
• Show prefix usage counts so members can see how many threads use each prefix
• Control prefix ordering alphabetically, by usage, or by prefix group order
• Choose where the filter appears by excluding selected forums
• Works with XenCustomize Multiple Prefixes so additional prefix assignments are recognized when determining usage and counts

Simple Prefix Filtering​

Members can select a prefix directly from the forum view to narrow the thread list to matching discussions.

Prefix filtering works alongside XenForo's built-in thread list filters, including filtering and sorting options such as starter, last updated, state, and thread ordering.

This makes it especially useful for support forums, marketplaces, discussion categories, and other communities that rely heavily on prefixes to organize threads.

Flexible Prefix Display​

Administrators can configure how the prefix filter behaves:

• Hide prefixes that are not currently used
• Show the number of threads using each prefix
• Sort prefixes alphabetically
• Sort prefixes by most used
• Use prefix group order
• Exclude selected forums from displaying the filter

When XenCustomize Multiple Prefixes is installed and active, additional prefix assignments are also recognized when determining which prefixes are used and calculating their usage counts.

The integration is optional — Thread Prefix Filter continues to work normally without Multiple Prefixes installed.

Perfect For​

• Support communities using prefixes for categories or status
