README

Multiple colored topic prefixes for phpBB 3.3.x: several prefixes per topic, prefix groups, per-forum availability, group restrictions, min / max rules, clickable prefixes and filtering.

Alpha release. This extension is under active development and may contain errors. It is not recommended for use on a live forum. Test it on a local or staging installation first and make a database backup before enabling it.

Requirements

• phpBB 3.3.0 or newer
• PHP 7.4 or newer
• Iorgian Core 0.3.0-a1 or newer, installed and enabled first

Features

• Several prefixes per topic, with colored badges (background and text color)
• Prefix groups with their own min / max rules (maximum 1 = "only one from this group")
• Per-forum availability, min / max prefixes per forum, and group (user group) restrictions
• Prefixes can be required when a forum offers two or more
• Clickable prefixes and a filter bar in forums (OR inside a group, AND between groups)
• Prefixes in topic lists, inside topics and in search results; position configurable (before / after / below the title)
• Optional removal of unavailable prefixes when a topic is moved, and optional locking of prefixes added by moderators
• Languages: English, Romanian, Spanish

Installation

1. Install and enable Iorgian Core first.
2. Extract the release archive inside your forum's ext/ directory (it already contains iorgian/multiprefixes/), or copy this folder to ext/iorgian/multiprefixes.
3. ACP > Customise > Manage extensions: enable Iorgian Multi Prefixes.
4. Create your prefixes in ACP > Extensions > Multi Prefixes, and allow the permission Can use Multi Prefixes in the forum permissions of the groups that should use it.

When upgrading, replace the folder and purge the cache. If the new version includes database migrations, disable and re-enable the extension (do not delete its data).

Notes

• It is a clean, independent implementation inspired by the functionality of the XenForo add-on "Multi Prefixes" by Xon; no code was copied.
• Other iorgian extensions (Iorgian Tags) use the services iorgian.multiprefixes.repository and iorgian.multiprefixes.renderer; their public methods are kept stable.
