use the Rich Prefix instead of the Plain Prefix for News?

[qG ThaLiX]

Basiclly:

Currently the news module uses the plain prefix (vB 3.7.2). Is there any way i can change it to rich? As i want to display flags in front of the title, which is possible with rich prefixes, but not with plain where it will just show text.

I hope my question is clear.

Thank you for pointing this out, as it should show the rich text preview instead of the plain text. If you will look in your forum/modules/news.php file for this line:
$news['prefix'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($vbphrase['prefix_' . $news['prefixid'] . '_title_plain']);

And replace with this:
$news['prefix'] = $vbphrase['prefix_' . $news['prefixid'] . '_title_rich'];

Then that should take care of the issue.

I'm having a small issue with this functionality... When it tries to display the rich images, it tries to get them from www.domain.com/forums/images/prefixes instead of from sub.domain.com/images/prefixes which is where all my images are located (and works elsewhere on site).

Any idea how to resolve that?

Make sure your images are pointing to the full URL (http://yoursite.com/images/whatever) instead of a relative path (images/whatever).

Thank you VERY much, Brian. That's the issue and I'll just have to edit all the icons paths.

Appreciate it!
