When a prefix filter is applied, it seems to ignore child forums. Is there any way to change this? We'd like to filter by prefix and see both parent & child threads, similar to XF1 behavior

edit: after a bit of testing, it looks like Aggregating Forums version 2.1.3 works with prefix filtering

 

[Xon]

@sub_ubi thanks for the report, will investigate

 

[Xon]

Next version should hopefully fix this, will be testing & verifying over the weekend

Darn, I'm still not able to sort prefixes from child forums with 2.3.0

 

[Xon]

Are you using any other add-ons which touch prefixes or filtering?

Can you open a ticket on my site so we can do additional troubleshooting?

If there's a parent forum A with 4 sub-forum A1, A2, A3 and A4, I can list all posts in sub-forums A1, A2, A3, A4 in parent forum A with this add-on. This is excellent.

But what if I want the orange Post thread button showing on forum A to be only able to start a new thread in sub-forums, but not in the parent forum? i.e. all threads showing in Forum A come from its sub-forums. How do I do?

If I disable the post thread permission in user group, the orange Post thread button won't even appear in the forum A.

 

[Xon]

You need to set to 'no' for post new thread for the user-group for forum A (not never!), and then explicitly 'yes' for A1, A2, A3, A4 forums for the user-group again.

Also; the number of explicit 'no's on a forum must be greater than equal to the of 'yes' for a permission to apply, so you might need to find multiple groups to set it to 'no'

 

[gogo]

It works! Thank you for your help.



But I don't quite understand your second paragraph.

 

[Xon]

Nesting xenforo permissions can become interesting

 

[gogo]

@Xon The orange "Post thread" button in Forum A (see the example in previous post) disappeared after I installed "Advanced Forms by Snog", uninstalled that add-on the orange button appears again. Other than that, seems it's not affecting other aggregation functions.

That means a conflict between these two add-ons? Any way to solve it? Thanks.

 

[Xon]

@ozzy47 now maintains that forms add-on, I'll need to ask him.

And I'm not sure whether this interface is generated by this add-on, but it doesn't show the special symbols properly:




It's a dot as a separator.
