XF 2.3 Searchable Prefix Selector When Creating a Thread

[lustbb]

Hi,

I have a forum with a large number of thread prefixes (500+).

When users create a new thread, they need to select a prefix before posting. With so many prefixes available, the standard dropdown becomes difficult to use because users have to scroll through a very long list to find the correct one.

Is there any add-on for XenForo 2.3? Users can simply type and find the prefix they need.

Thanks.

Is there any add-on for XenForo 2.3

I have never seen one.

Based on this, @Veer or @Painbaker might be able to add it to their addons for a fee.

500 seems well beyond the expected number of prefixes.

You might like this prefix cloud thing, but it's out of date.

How would users know which of the 500 prefixes to search for ?

I think you would be better off setting up the nodes differently, thats too many prefixes to go through.

Thanks everyone for the help!

I bought PB's version. It works when editing the first post, but not when editing the thread from the thread list.

Also, it doesn't seem to work as nicely as Multi-Prefix does?
