XF 1.5 Prefix Phrase from prefix_id

[LPH]

I'm able to pull the prefix_id for a thread but stuck on how to display the prefix phrase. A var_dump isn't giving any clues.

 /** @var XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix $threadPrefixes */
$threadPrefixes = XenForo_Model::create( 'XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix' );
$thread_prefix = $threadPrefixes->getPrefixById($prefix_id);

The var_dump doesn't show a phrase or title.

array (size=6)
  'prefix_id' => int 1
  'prefix_group_id' => int 0
  'display_order' => int 1
  'materialized_order' => int 1
  'css_class' => string 'prefix prefixRed' (length=16)
  'allowed_user_group_ids' => string '-1' (length=2)

You may want to call XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix::preparePrefix(). That will add the phrase entry.

Thank you. I was looking at this last night and this morning and I'm still chasing my tail. thread_prefix_Blog Entry is in the dump but this seems roundabout. I keep looking at the code where these methods are used and I'm clearly not getting it. Would a trim really be necessary?

/** @var XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix $threadPrefixes */
$threadPrefixes = XenForo_Model::create( 'XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix' );
$thread_prefix = $threadPrefixes->getPrefixById($prefix_id);

/** @var XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix $threadPrepare */
$preparePrefix = $threadPrefixes->preparePrefix($thread_prefix);
$prefixTitle = $preparePrefix['title'];

/** @var XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix $threadPrefixes */
$threadPrefixes = XenForo_Model::create( 'XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix' );
$thread_prefix_name = $threadPrefixes->getPrefixTitlePhraseName($prefixTitle);
Zend_Debug::dump($thread_prefix_name);

In your code, $preparePrefix['title'] is the title itself, not the phrase name.

In your code, $preparePrefix['title'] is the title itself, not the phrase name.

A var_dump of $prefixTitle doesn't return the title. It returns the following:

object(XenForo_Phrase)[255]
  protected '_phraseName' => string 'thread_prefix_1' (length=15)
  protected '_params' =>
    array (size=0)
      empty
  protected '_insertParamsEscaped' => boolean true
  protected '_phraseNameOnInvalid' => boolean true

I'm sorry to be daft. The code from last night is poorly written with variable names. I'm fixing it right now and will keep tinkering.

Echo that or case it to a string -- that's how phrases work in XF. They are objects that will render to the text when needed.

Thank you. I think this is my misunderstanding and will tinker more tonight.

In case someone else trips over this thread, the thread prefix code is easier than my roundabout.

/** @var XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix $prefixModel */
$prefixModel = XenForo_Model::create( 'XenForo_Model_ThreadPrefix' );
$thread_prefix = $prefixModel->getPrefixById($prefix_id);
$preparePrefix = $prefixModel->preparePrefix($thread_prefix);
$prefixTitle = $preparePrefix['title'];

echo $prefixTitle;
