[Forum] Change name of prefix from "prefix" in new thread

[slinky]

Is there a way to change the name of the word "prefix" as it appears here? Personally I think that 99.9% of my users will have no idea what this means. It should say something like "Choose thread type" or whatever else it is I want to appear there. While I can change the word "prefix" to appear once, I would think you should be able to set the title of that prefix to appear properly any time you have a prefix since it may be different in one forum than another.

Do a search under Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases for the word Prefix. Edit the appropriate phrases as needed.

Thanks for the quick response, as always. The problem with this, and I think it's the only way, is that it will change the word "prefix" in every instance. Here's what I think should happen - you should be able to define a variable for "prefix" to the name of what you called the prefix.

For example:
Place: New York, New Jersey, Maine
Experience: Low, Medium, High

Right now you have
Prefix: (place options)
Experience: (experience options)

I guess this becomes a request. Thanks for the help though.

How is it going to change all occurrences? Don't use the Find and Replace. Use the Find, edit the specific phrases you want to change. It will not change any other phrases.

I've created a new thread here. The word "prefix" appears. What if I have 2 different prefixes in two different threads? What VB seems to do is use one variable to say "extra fields attached to a thread." Then all the prefixes appear as they are supposed to in each forum. So for example, let's say I have the "Market" forum and the "Sports" forum. The prefix name in Market will be "I Seek to:" and the options will be "buy, sell, trade." In the Sports forum the prefix name will be "Sport Type" and the options will be "Football, Hockey, Baseball." But the prefix area for the dropdown will say "Prefix" instead of what the prefix is. If I change it to "Fill Out" then those words will be used in both forums instead of using the variable which is the name of the prefix. Does this make sense?

In your case it would require some sort of custom coding. Can probably do a conditional on the $forumid variable.

I came up with:

                    <vb:if condition="$forumid == '4'">
                        <label for="prefixfield" class="full">I Seek To:</label>
                    <vb:elseif condition="$forumid == '5'" />
                        <label for="prefixfield" class="full">Sports Type:</label>
                    <vb:else />
                        <label for="prefixfield" class="full">{vb:rawphrase prefix}:</label>
                    </vb:if>

You'd have to change the IDs of course.
