XF 1.4 Advice on forums organized by location (State)

[DaveAllen]

I am trying to determine what is the best way to handle this in Xenforo.

EXAMPLE: If I had a forum named "Tire Dealer Discussions"...

And I wanted to have posts organized by location (State). What is the way people do this organizational structure with XF?

• Create sub forums for every State?
• Some other way of organizing the posts by State?

I will be setting up many forums that need to have their posts organized by State so I want to ensure that I go about this the right way.

add-on only lists buttons for the prefixes that are actually used, I suggested a new feature for that add-on to instead list all the prefixes in a simple dropdown instead of the multitude of buttons. That would be perfect.

Why would you want to display an un-used value so that the result of its usage would only be zero threads?

Exactly! That is what makes that Prefix Forum Listing add-on so nice. It does not show prefixes with zero threads. However, the prefixes listed in the dropdown filter at the bottom lists all prefixes, regardless if there are any threads using them.

Ask the add-on author to provide a ACP option for them to instead be in a drop-down list?

Yup, did that yesterday. Hoping it will get done.
