Advanced Tags & Prefixes 2018

Description

This application enhances IPS Community Suite 4's built-in tag and prefix system, providing custom styling and fine-grained control over prefixes, plus various settings, enhancements, and some helpful moderation tools. Prefixes are explicitly created through the Admin CP, and can be chosen from a separate prefix dropdown when creating a topic.

Among features of this plugin:

• Define all prefixes manually through the Prefix Manager--even for open-tag systems.
• Add, fix, merge, and remove tags in bulk through the Tag Manager.
• Choose a prefix when posting any prefix-enabled content, separate from the tag input.
• Add custom HTML formatting to your prefixes, allowing colors, images, and much more.
• Limit prefixes by member group.
• Limit where prefixes can be used.
• Require a prefix in certain forums.
• Add tags and prefixes to topics in bulk with Saved Actions or the Mass-Add tool.
• Apply a prefix to topics imported from RSS.
• Set a default prefix and tags for all new topics in a forum.
• Override the tag mode setting on a per-forum basis.
• Display topic prefixes in the page title, last post info, and elsewhere, if you want.
