Extra Threadfields Lite(Add Text, Radio, Drop Down, & Checkbox Fields To Threads!)

[Gio~Logist]

That would be cool. The only way I see to let uses edit their threads is to allow then to delete their own threads via the user-group permissions.

I believe there is a permission setting titled "Can edit own threads".

[ConKien]

gio~logist, can I do such thing with your hack?

Yes you can. However, it will be complicated unless you are a fairly novice coder. It would require you to understand the plugin, variables, etc.

Hi Gio,
I had asked in post #116 about showing the extra threadfields in the threadbit (I think it's called the threadbit) - for some reason I can't manage to get the extra threadfields to show up there. can you take a look ?
Thanks!

[photoboy]

this thread is getting really long! sorry if I missed relevant answers...

re: post #122
Any way to pass the extra threadfields to
the message to they can be searchable like any regular message text?

[Gio~Logist]

Your first question - What variable are you trying to use and in what template?

Your second question - I do not believe that that will be available in the Lite version.

[photoboy]

Your first question - What variable are you trying to use and in what template?


This is the code:


<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

$extrafields
<br>
Hello
<else />
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

$extrafields
<br>
Hello
</if>


And these images show the type of page it's in - I think it's threadbit - you can see your screenshot and a similar one of mine. I was able to edit the page ("Hello") but $extrafields doesn't seem to be doing anything...

That's not the way it sais to do it in the readme.txt. When you do it how it sais int he readme file, does it work?

I thought I followed the instructions - here they are... I don't see what I did differently. The < br > and "Hello" are the only difference, no? I put that in there just to confirm I was able to effect the page. What am I missing?


// ############# Do The Following In The threadbit template ##############

Search for:
<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong

Are you sure that you uploaded the xml and that all of the options are enabled?

Feel free to PM me details to your site and such so that i can take a look.

[Gio~Logist]

Changelog:
3-27-06
* There was a problem that made i so that if no forumid was specified, instead of showing the fields for all forums, it wouldn't show in any as far as forumdisplay is concerned. This problem has been fixed. Now, if you do not enter any forumid when adding a field, it shows in all forumdisplays like it's supposed to.

Zip Updated!!

[Torqued]

Can the extra text/fields added to the threads be HTML? This might be a good way to add Technorati tags!

[Nutz]

Works well, thanks.

Thanks,

That's not a bug. You just have to edit the database field to make it so that the field's maximum value is at more than what it is now. You can do this via phpmyadmin.

[lazyseller]

What do i look for ?

[Gio~Logist]

What do i look for ?

Go to the thread_fields_admin table and then look for the column that sais "options". Change the 250 (i believe that's what it is), to whatever you'd like.

[lazyseller]

#1074 - Too big column length for column 'options' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead

I got this... i tried to set it at 500

[Gio~Logist]

Try using Mediumint

[Warrior]

This works great! Awesome hack with a lot of potential... great job.

Yes you can. However, it will be complicated unless you are a fairly novice coder. It would require you to understand the plugin, variables, etc.

Gio~logist, I understand and can follow the instruction pretty well. I've made the MEMBERINFO template with every custom userfields completely manually (hard coded) and it's almost the same as your hack in this situation. Can you show me where should I begin?

It requires knowing a bit of php as well. I would do it, however, i am tight on time right now. Sorry about that.

when can we expect said premium version?

[Warrior]

K... I'll be patient... :banana:

[Gio~Logist]

The premium version is already done. I am just waiting for the completion of another script so that i can release both at the same time. The premium version will be paid. However, it will be worth it.

[Azhrialilu]

Any hints on how much the premium version will be? So I can start nagging my other half in advance :D

[chikkoo]

I love this hack...
I'm going to install it now, and let you know how it works.

[Gio~Logist]

The premium version will be somewhere in the low-mid $xx.

[bada_bing]

Couple questions.

When can we purchase the premium version?
If we install the light version can we upgrade and what would be the upgrade path.

Should I wait for the Premium version, only if its relased very soon though.

Tease!

J/K - as soon as I hear its available I'll be ordering it... can I pre pay now since PayPal takes a few days to clear? :bunny:

Again... awesome job, and this is perfect for some basic thread comments that come stock with other bulletin software... as well as many other advanced forum-specific systems...

Do you have the list of features available in the premium version?

[chikkoo]

I pressed INSTALL button, still I get error? lol

Just wondering anyone no, why I get "Unable to add cookies, header already sent" error, while accessing the extra theadfields admin option.

It points Line 2 of threadfields_admin.php

I have 3 drop down lists, but they appear one below the other, I want them to appear one beside the other, after 2 spaces.

Is it possible? Which template to edit?

This is possible. However, it would require a little bit of editing (not just one edit), because it could mess up the whole layout.

[klinsek]

I understand that it's unlimited - but my question is, if I add 5 fields for example, can I choose 3 of the 5 to display for forumA, and the last 2 of 5 for forumB? Or do they ALL display no matter what?

Thanks, and I clicked install :P

I didn't see a reply to this and needed it to work this way for my forum as well. I would like the ability to choose which fields show in which forum ID.

Thanks.

Any idea when we'll see a feature list for the Premier version?

Each field you create in the admincp lets you choose which forums it will be shown in. Each threadfield is assigned it's forums by the forum ID number 9or listing them seperated by a comma)... just install the hack - you'll like it :cool:

And bump for the Premier's features list... :banana:

Then I rebuilt my forums, completely uploaded all new vB files, created a new db and imported all of my posts.

Glad you like it! Well, if you want all of the information for individual threads to be brought back, that would require restoring the thread table. If you just want the fields, you can just restore the vb_thread_fields_admin table.

[dilbert]

Wow, now that was a fast response!
Where in the thread table is the data? I didn't see it in the "old" table from my site.

[dilbert]

Nevermind, I was looking in the post table not the thread table.

This will take a while to restore, I have a few hundred posts using this mod.

Simple edit the newthread_extra_fields template and take out the <b> before $threadfield[title] and the </b> after it.

[Michael Hyatt]

That worked great for the new thread posting forum. However, when I list all the messages on the forum display page, the field is also bold. I thought this might be in the Forum Display templates, but no such luck.

The premium version will be released in the near future. Features have been added. However, some features are still being thought out.

[Michael Hyatt]

I just sent you a PayPal payment for $20.00. I will happily buy the Premium version when it is available.

A couple of features that would be helpful to me:

- The ability to edit the original post and make changes to the extra fields.

- The ability to run a quick report based on an extra field value. For example, I am using vBulletin as a simple tool for following up on team action items. Each item is one thread. I used your hack to assign a due date and an owner to each item. It would be great for each user to get a list of threads in which they are listed as the owner.

Great work.

Your donation is appreciated ;) And you will be contacted once the premium version is available.

The ability to edit the extra field is already available. You just have to click "edit thread".

As for the quick report, what you want is the ability to send a pm to the user who started the thread once the extra field is changed?

[Michael Hyatt]

Okay that makes sense on editing the thread.

No, the Quick Report I envision would be done from the forum home page. Imagine a user visits the bb first thing in the morning. He pulls down a menu option that allows him to see every thread for which he is assigned as the owner.

Does that make sense? Or can the normal Search capability of vBulletin find the data in the extra fields?

One other item: I have created a drop-down select box. I have about 30 names (I had to use the "Large Edit Box" function.) However, only about half of them are display on the new post form. I assume there is a variable in a template that I can adjust to allow for more entries. Thanks.

Where do I find the field ID?

[0ptima]

This hack is amazing! Would it be possible to add a label, so it could be used to describe the field? For example if I had a field called Price, a label next to (or on top of the price field) could say "Please indicate the currency" and the label would only appear when starting a new thread.

What plans do you have for the premium version?

[0ptima]

How could I allow users to change the values in the custom fields when editing a post?

[Gio~Logist]

How could I allow users to change the values in the custom fields when editing a post?

They'd have to edit the thread.

[Gio~Logist]

Where do I find the field ID?

In the admincp, in the section of the extra fields. Try hovering over the field title and the fieldid will show on the bottom of your browser after the text "fieldid=".

[0ptima]

They'd have to edit the thread.

I dont see an option to allow register memebrs to edit threads. They can only edit posts and when they edit the post, the new fields do not show up.

Is there any way we can get added to this an image selection? So we could put a small image along with everything else? Kinda like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=17778&d=1080750452

Then for my classifieds section, if they choose the SOLD icon, it will appear in the forum display for all to see their item as being sold

[DrewM]

Can you add sorting?

[Dannyboy1]

Is there any similar mod for vbulletin 3.x.x?

[DrewM]

Also requried feilds only work on the first feild the second or the third don't.

[RaZor Edge]

This looks like a really cool hack. I am still wondering if anyone has tried it with the CMPS latestposts module.

I am thinking about how to incporate it due to the fact that i'm not sure how i will display it. Also, don't forget to click install :p

Would be really great if the premium version of this hack can be use with CMPS latestposts module.

[Chad Beattie]

When a normal user clicks "Edit", then "Go Advanced", the extra options are not showing up. It looks like hooks need to be placed for editpost and also the extrathreadoptions put into the editpost template. Without it, normal users cannot change any of the settings once a thread has been posted.

Thank you and for putting time into this hack.

The only way they can be edited is through the edit thread option, which only admins can do on my forum. If the edit post had this option, this hack would be perfect!

Exactly, which is why I posted what I did. Users CAN do the same type of function when they hit "Edit" and then "Go Advanced". They can change the thread title, icon, etc... Going forward I will be sure and test mods as both regular users and admins. At any rate, it seems if some additional code was added to hook into the editpost script, along with another template edit, it could work. I was going to work on it, but figured I would see if the person who wrote this might have it fixed already.

[Gio~Logist]

Like i said, at the moment it is only available by clicking "edit thread". However, i will look into having this applicable in the edit post as well.

First of all great hack, we have some great ideas for using it on our site to make a nice, integrated article system for the website.

Anyways, I tried your advice in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=922942&postcount=184) but it isn't working for me. I am in the same boat as the person you responded to, and I'd like the post to look like this. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=44204&d=1142181208)

Any ideas?

[Stargesicht]

When comes the premium Version???
I need this in the search-results, too.
It`s important for me...
Is there a trick, for show this in the serch-results, when you klick "new posts"....

Thanks

[Emmy2]

wonderful hack! I'm just trying to work out a small tweak...

Suppose I have 3 extra fields but I only want one of them to show on the forumdisplay page. So first I disable the "Show extra fields automatically in forum?" feature. Then I try to manually insert the one field that I *do* want to show by following these earlier instructions by gio_logist...


Turn of the setting that automatically displays them in forumdisplay and put them where you'd like manually via edit template using $threadinfo[fieldx] (see above for more info). If $threadinfo doesn't work, use $thread. I will comfirm that tommorow.

Well, I tried both ways ($threadinfo and $thread) and it doesn't show up. It doesn't say what template to edit, but I assumed it was threadbit?

Any ideas what to try next?

[arcadian_girl]

first of all, great hack :)

question: is there any way to make a field show up in forum display but not in showthread? i downloaded it because i wanted to add a "description" field for my thread titles, like some other boards have, where when you look at the forum display, you see the title of the thread, and then under it, a brief description. however, i dont want that description showing up in the actual thread, cos i just think it's sort of unwieldy-looking.

also, is there any way to not show the NAME of the field? like, instead of showing

What Are You Listening To?
describethread tell us all what you're listening too

it would just show this:

What Are You Listening To?
tell us all what you're listening to

thanks xx

edit: actually i've figured out how not to have the describethread show up-just don't put a title :) but it still puts a ":" before the description..any way to fix that?

[Areku]

AWESOME HACK!

Areku licks install!: P

Heh, I have the opposite problem. I want it to show up in the actual thread but not the forum display.

[the river]

hello,can you tell me please how display fields vertical?

[jaks]

GREAT HACK!!! Very easy install. Definitely should be a standard feature for VB.

Question:
Is there any way to display the field description when posting the thread? It would be nice to give some instructions for some fields.

Jaks

[ltaylor]

Clicked Install.
After searching and searching for a reverse Auction to add to my forum, THIS HACK will/could work perfectly for just that!!

Awsome Work!!

[yellowbird]

I'd like to be able to sort by the category field I created so users could for example click on the extra threadfield, ie: New York, and it would only show what is labelled as New York. How would I accomplish that?

[bchertov]

Will you be porting this to 3.6 as soon as it goes gold?
Whats up with the premium version???

[Intrigue34]

I installed the hack and get an error when I tried to visit the threadfields_admin.php page, moreover the hack menu isn't list in the admincp menu.. Help me please! I've uploaded all files !


Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Is there a way to get this to append to the subject of the post as well?

Thanks for a great mod. :D

[KPalicz]

Heh, I have the opposite problem. I want it to show up in the actual thread but not the forum display.

Ah, I figured out what I did wrong. I didn't catch the "postbit or postbit_legacy" part. I needed to change the postbit_legacy template, not the postbit one.

All working now. Awesome :up:

[rogersnm]

Is there anyway to make the threadfields show up in the show thread template?

[johnstires]

Has anyone heard about the premium version of this add-on. This is a great add-on yet I am looking for something that is searchable.

[Gio~Logist]

Please resort to www.siteresort.com for premium matters ;)

[birdcat]

I attempted to edit the threadbit_extra_fields template, in order to make the thread fields line up horiziontally on the same line, rather than vertically with each on their own line, in the forum.

However once I did, the thread field dissappeared leaving only the colon and the field value. Also, the thread fields are now on the same line as the thread link/title.

This is what I have in that template:

<b>$threadfield[title]:</b> $thread[fieldvalue]

What can I do to fix this? TIA, and looking forward to upgrading to the premium version.

[Logikos]

Birdcat, $threadfield[title] should be $field[title]. :)

[birdcat]

Awesome, the field titles are back! Thank you. For what ever reason though, they're still on the same line as the thread title. How do I move them down on a line of their own?

[R.Solutions]

where would i put so that the tiles and what not are in smallfont?

[Logikos]

A <br /> at the end of the code should fix that, though I havn't installed this hack before so I'm not exacly sure where the edit would need to take place. I'll have to ask Gio the next time I speak with him.

where would i put so that the tiles and what not are in smallfont?

To create a smallfont effect, you could wrap you text with:

<div class="smallfont">My Text Here</div>

Notice the BOLD code. Thats the class atribute you need to use to create a smalller text size.

[Snake]

Thanks, just installed it! :)

[Garrylawton]

These may seem like silly questions to some of you but being new to VBulletin I am asking these questions becuase I really dont know the answers.

I have installed new MODS in the Simple Machine Forums but I am a total newbie to the VB forum

Thanks in advance for the help





5 Easy Steps
Step 1. Import the following product: product-extra_threadfields.xml

I think this is self explanitory as I have seen the Import feature in the admin panel

Step 2. Upload the files in the upload folder.

To what directory on my web space do I upload these files to

Step 3. Do the edits located below

In which Directory do I find these templates


NEWTHREAD template
threadadmin_editthread template
postbit or postbit_legacy template
threadbit template



Step 4. Edit the newly added options in admincp as you please

Step 5. Enjoy the hack.

[laskos]

excellent hack, nearly what i am looking for. Would it be possible to add the below features:

1: let the extra threadfields show up on the latest topics on the front page.

2: would it be possible to add a dropdown so the member can select what forum to post the thread in.

thanks in advance.

[0ptima]

I dont see an option to allow registered memebrs to edit threads. They can only edit posts and when they edit the post, the new fields do not show up.

Has this been addressed in the premium version?

[Mattikana]

I just tested the Lite version on 3.6 RC2 and it works flawless :cool:

[R.Solutions]

I know what to use to make small font, but where would i put it so that the small font is used when you look at the forum display?

Files are uploaded in your forum's directory. As for the template edits, try collapsing all templates to be able to search for templates better. They are in alphabetical order most of the time.

That is already 100% possible. Take a look at the first post.

1. Is there a paid version yet.
a. What are the differences

2. how about a multiple choice option?

Thanks!

(i'm sorry about my english)
that's the hack i needed, great tool. i hope this option is included in the next vbulletin release.
i have only 1 problem: the text in the fields aren't searchable with the search function of the forum. how can i fix this?
thanks for the tool.

[diretur]

I will hopefully look into this. Perhaps i will make it so that you have the option of making fields have permissions so that only certain usergroups can access them.


that would be great! I am looking forward to it.

btw: great hack!

the extra field input are not searchable. i used an extrafield for example for the names of a team who worked in a projekt, or a field with the technologie of the project. -> when i search with the normal search function of the board, there aren't any hits.

could any body help me?

I asked this question more than once with no reply.....

[Simplicity]

I love this hack, its brilliant

[Feature Request]

What I want to do though is have certain forums show the extra thread fields in forumdisplay and in other forums, still use other custom thread fields but not show them in forumdisplay.

Would it be possible to add in a future version the ability to customise which forums show the thread fields on forumdisplay, perhaps on the create/edit forum page add a button 'show extra threadfields' [yes]o [no]o

This would allow much better customisation and allow me to use this hack in forums which have many custom threadfields (can make the forumdisplay very cluttered).

[shadow187]

Nice hack btw...

One Questian, is it possible to parse a text variable into a link ???

In your post bit or post bit legacy try this:

Find this:


<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
<div align="right">$extrafields</div>
</if>


change to this:


<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
<div align="left">$extrafields</div>
</if>


Basically your changing the word "right" to "Left".

[mac27]

Also you can change the size of the font used.

In post bit or post bit legacy.

Find this:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">

replace with this:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
<FONT FACE="arial" SIZE="3"><div align="right">$extrafields</div></font>
</if>


To change the color of the extrafields replace with this:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
<FONT FACE="arial" SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000"><div align="left">$extrafields</div></font>
</if>

I do not know of anyway to move the extrafields into the message. As for showing up when admin edit a thread. Once you are viewing the thread just click on "Thread Tools" then on "Edit Thread". This is the only way I know of editing the extrafields after they have been posted.

Bare with me I keep playing with this hack to see what else it can do. I am learning as I go.

No. You only have access to them when you edit the thread.

Edit button under extra fields manager doesn't work(link does)
Forcing users to choose, does not work with radio buttons.

Where does the explanation appear?

[taydu]

I just installed a new skin, do i need to do something else other than edit the template to have this mod work with the new skin???

Yes you should still have to make the same templates edits to it.

other than that, do i need to do anything else

No, I can't think of anything else you need to do. The templates edits should be it.

Good luck.

For the newthread and search templates, does anyone know how to arrange the checkbox selections for extrathread fields to be arranged in a vertical column as opposed to in a horizontal row? In the default look, the checkboxes look like they are connect to neighboring choices. Even being able to add a nbsp between choices would be nice.

Additional option to make a field required

This is important to me, any update to include it ?

also, is ther a way to provide fields for the user to write the source of his information he/she is writing in the thread like this :
* My Writing (radio button)
* Somebody else writing: (radio button)
Information Source URL 1: (text filed)
Information Source Title 1: (text filed)
Information Source URL 2: (text filed)
Information Source Title 2: (text filed)
Information Source URL 3: (text filed)
Information Source Title 3: (text filed)
Information Source URL 4: (text filed)
Information Source Title 4: (text filed)

then in the thread viewing it will show sources titles with urls on them.
?

thanks in advance,,

I am looking to do this in the search template, not the showthread. See this link for how messy the checkbox structure is:

http://www.onereef.com/forums/search.php

Ideally I would like the check boxes to line up nicely in 2-3 columns.

Example:

Field Title:
X option 1 X option 2 X option 3
X option 4 X option 5 X option 6
X option 7 X option 8 X option 9
X option 10 X option 11 X option 12

X= a check box

I have isolated it down to this in the template:

<if condition="$threadfield['type'] == 'checkbox' ">
<div>$checkboxstr</div>
<input type="hidden" name="thread_fields_admin[$threadfield[fieldid]]" value="$threadfield[fieldid]">
</if>

$checkboxstr calls my checkbox options. But I have no clue how to alter $checkboxstr.

How can I convert the "text box" to phrase any text as a hyperlink?'Assuming the description would be for entering websites/sources

[zylstra]

Is there a Custom Post Field mod, as opposed to this one for threads? Thanks!

[merlin101]

Been using this on my site for about 6/7 months members love it 100% but what i would like in a new version is

Ability for the thread maker to edit when a mistake has been made, also in "Field Options" it seems to be limited to how many choice can be listed, in my case i need it alot more than it already allows. Also would be cool to be able to list them in nice columns too. Other than that great add on to my site

This hack is no longer supported by the author, so dont expect updates.

[blankoboy]

Ideally I would love to see a good combination of this any Mystic's category prefixes. That would bring Vbulletin's flexibility/usability to a whole new level.

[Ncturnal]

I do not know of anyway to move the extrafields into the message. As for showing up when admin edit a thread. Once you are viewing the thread just click on "Thread Tools" then on "Edit Thread". This is the only way I know of editing the extrafields after they have been posted.

Bare with me I keep playing with this hack to see what else it can do. I am learning as I go.

Cool, well at least there is some way to do it. Thanks for at least showing me a moderator option. :) Thanks for your support!

Would really like to have the fields in columns so the thread title does take up so much room.

BTW, does anyone know if these fields are searchable? EDIT: Nevermind, they are not.

[Ncturnal]

I am looking to do this in the search template, not the showthread. See this link for how messy the checkbox structure is:

How did you make those searchable like that?

I contacted the coder about this script. I asked to buy it from him so that I could carry on the coding of it since he is not working with it anymore. He never answered back. OH well.

[Azhrialilu]

It's a shame, I bought the premium version of this and love it. I hoped it would continue to grow :(

[johnstires]

How did you make those searchable like that?

I have the full version. I just need to figure out how to make it so Keywords are not required to search. That way I can just click on check boxes and search those terms. The answer is locked away somewhere on siteresort.com. I wish he didn't close his whole site down. There's some valuable info on there...

[category]

where can i get the full version. I am really interested in buying it or is there any similar hacks to this? i know there is for 3.6.4 but it isnt that good as this one the other one is buggy and all that

You can try to contact the coder at www.siteresort.com, but his site is closed and he hasn't answered any of my emails. Worth a try if you are willing to pay for the hack. Just realize it is unsupported. What is the other hack you talk about?

[category]

what can the premium version do?

[johnstires]

Search the threadfields you create. Unfortunately I don't think it works with vb 3.6.4. I'm having a searchid problem with the hack. If you search with just the threadfields, the searchid stays the same and you get the same search results over and over again.

[category]

I see somebody has to at least take this job

1) Can i take a script and have someone improve it? Sure, you just cannot resell any of the scripts.

[SiMateoAko]

I was just brainstorming this exact mod today.

Too bad the coder vanished.

[trickfly]

where in the admin cp do you edit the thread lists ?

I can't see where I have to go now once I've installed it!

please help asap!!!!!

Make sure you have uploaded the admin php file to the right folder.

Good news folks! Spoke to gio~logist tonite and it looks as though he's on the comeback trail. He's sold his classifieds code and is concentrating on the extra threadfields code along with new projects.

If you have purchased his extra threadfields code and have a question feel free to send him an email (listed on site resort). Also if you have any work that needs to be done, he's taking on custom jobs to help fund and get his site off the ground again.

Hopefully we'll be seeing him around soon and hopefully site resort will be opened again. This is an amazing and powerful hack (especially when searchable!)

[0ptima]

Good news!

[Gio~Logist]

Yes, i am back. Siteresort is opened as well, now offering SR Extra Threadfields again (which works with 3.6.x at the moment). Once new ideas come rolling in, more scripts will be offered.

Also, i apologize for my long disappearance. Family issues/personal matters sometimes get to the point where you can't control things like this, i do apologize. I noticed some people think that my disappearance was a "scam"? If only it was, at least i would have left happily. For the people who i was forced to leave without finishing works, refunds were provided and i do apologize. Lee Dodd and Quartebore being these people, i have refunded their money and done what's needed. Hopefully something like this won't happen again, as it effected more people than just me. However, like i said.. there are some things you simply cannot control. If anyone understood exactly what was going on, half of these posts would not have been made accusing me of such preposterous things.

I noticed a few people asking if the fields are searchable.
Answer: They are in the premium version ;)

[laskos]

will the extra threads work on vBulletin 3.6.4 as i have just upgraded forum and desperatly need this :(

Good to see you back! Can you re-package this as a 3.6 hack and start a new thread? Plan to add any more features to this hack?

I'm not sure if that's allowed, but i will if no moderators have a problem with it. Also, i have yet to come by any features that i feel are good enough to add. Any ideas?

Admins can only edit the thread fields in a post. I would like the users to be allowed to edit the fields once they have been entered.

What if i make it so that there's a separate page for editing extra fields? A page separate from the edit thread/edit post page. Making it so that you can do so in the "edit post" page wouldn't be logical, since editing the post only edits that post in particular and doesn't effect the thread. Hmmm..

How about using Ajax? The user would just have to double click on the fields and edit them. See if you can do it the same way as editing a thread title.

extra threadfield in new reply, it's possible to have extra threadfield in new reply too?

[bchertov]

Welcome back, Gio!

I don't know if these are new ideas or not, but here a couple of things I'd like to do with threadfields (either lite or premium):

1) Support for a Date field that includes the display of the calendar date picker
2) support for a Time fields that has validation and perhaps a cool time picker
3) Ability to add a field but have it not display on the ForumDisplay
4) Add a field that is only accessable by certain usergroups
5) I presume this is already there: ability to edit any of the thread fields.

Could your let me know that status of these potential features?

Thanks!
Barry

Hi, how do you handle textareas? Like one item per line?

1) & 2: So, images representing the date and time?
3) I believe that's already an option in the Light version. If not, it is in the premium.
4) Available in premium
5) Already exists

Hope that helps.

Textareas are not supported at the moment.

Not at the moment, but that would be a totally different script.

I never really use ajax, but i may look into this.

[bchertov]

1) & 2: So, images representing the date and time?
For Date fields I'd want to see a calendar image that brought up a calendar popup like on many website. Times could be a drop-down box preloaded with half hour time increments.

Glad to hear the other features already exist!

Thanks!

Well, for the time field, drop down boxes already exist to do this ;)

That's really too bad for textarea. If at least you could include it in premium version.....

Another important question, how do you handle printhread.php? do the extra fields find their way in there too? I had that problem with Gars and extra fields not being printed.

[KPalicz]

I agree on the date suggestion. If not anything fancy like a calendar, perhaps at least a check that it is in a proper date format (which date format is selected in the admin panel).

Also I'd also like to see an option to automatically make links clickable.

They dont show up! Gio, can you please add this?

Let me take a look and see what i can do, never thought of that to be honest lol.

[Gio~Logist]

Added. This is now available in the premium version ;)
