Editing Prefixes

[Morgain]

I have a default prefix on each Category to help visually identify it.
Moving nodes around between 2 categories messed up the default prefixes.

Most of the threads which failed to get prefixes while things were in flux don't matter. But a few that were started in this period will be long runners so I'd like them to have the proper prefix.
I can't edit the prefix in Thread Tools so is the on ly option the dreaded database route?

Secondly how would I get a prefix with a lime green background (not one of the colours on offer on the displayed list ) using the blank css box?

When editing the prefix, specify a custom class name:



Then define the class in:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> EXTRA.css

.prefixLime
{
	color: black;
	background-color: #BFFF00;
	border-color: #BFFF00;
}

The second advice worked and also something clicked at alst so I finally understand classes - about time!

But when I click Thread Tools all I can do is make it Sticky or Open. Nothing about Prefixes.
I tried clicking the moderation box but nothing happened.

Where? The prefix shows (red arrow in pic) but it's not clickable.

In the Title field in your picture.

The prefixes must be allowed in this forum.

Edit: Sorry Jake.

Luis thank you so much. Have plodded through and got them all to show. It really helps identify which sector athread comes from in the Whats New/ Recent lists which is what my members constantly use to check in.



It also shows in the thread page title which again helps people orient to where they are
especially as the same coloured boxes appear in my side menu on every page.


I do like to know where I am!

 

[Morgain]

OK my clever mentors ... any chance of making a Prefix appear in a template next to a description of its Category?
So I can make a mini menu in a template like this:



This is a completely new template of my own.

    color: white;
