XF 1.2 Requiered thread prefixes

[diego222]

Hi

I'm with XenForo 1.1.5 and already have the "Require Thread Prefixes" mod, bought here: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/require-thread-prefixes.500/

Now with the new feature added on xenforo... what I have to do?

1 - Keep using the mod and not activate the new xenforo feature?
2 - Deactivate the mod and use the new xenforo feature?
3 - If I deactivate the mod and use only the new xenforo feature..... what I have to do to not lose all configuration I already have of the prefixes?

I don't mind pay 6 euros (or a little more if prices change), I just want the best option

ok, then the answer is that I have to use the xenforo feature, following that indication you give me.

But.... I won't lose the prefixes configuration?

Well, presumably you'd lose your required status but I don't think you'd lose anything else. You'd really need to confirm with the add-on author though.

Ok I'll contact him.

And one more question (sorry if they are too much )

The query I have to run it only if I already upgraded without deactivate the mod..... If I already deactivated the mod and then upgrade.... I don't have to run the query, right?

 

[Jeremy]

Correct.

I think the prefixes you need will all be preserved but as mike says you'll just need to specify what forums 'require' a prefix

Ok, I already contact the mod author, but for what you say it would be only "a few" clicks, no problem then.

If I already deactivated the mod and then upgrade.... I don't have to run the query, right?

If you uninstall it after upgrading it will drop that column from the table.

Uninstall the add-on completely.

If the mod is uninstalled then all the prefix required settings will be lost. You will have to rest them again using the built in require prefix settings in xenforo.
