OK. I had some html code in my forum introduction. Basically when you click on the forum subbord you can see a little introduction about what is in there. It was great for having Vendor Screenshot images for links to there website. Advertising. Also was nice if you had a registry area for people in a certian location.

Anyways I added this


ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `x_forumintro` TEXT NOT NULL ;


I then went and changed this in includes/functions_forumlist.php

ORIGINAL:

$forumfields = 'forum.forumid, lastpost, lastposter, lastthread, lastthreadid, lasticonid, threadcount, replycount';

REPLACE WITH:

$forumfields = 'forum.forumid, lastpost, lastposter, lastthread, lastthreadid, lasticonid, threadcount, replycount, x_forumintro';

I also changed /admincp/forum.php:

ORIGINAL:

print_textarea_row($vbphrase['description'], 'forum[description]', $forum['description']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['forum_link'], 'forum[link]', $forum['link']);

REPLACE WITH:

print_textarea_row($vbphrase['description'], 'forum[description]', $forum['description']);
print_textarea_row('Forum Introduction', 'forum[x_forumintro]', $forum['x_forumintro']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['forum_link'], 'forum[link]', $forum['link']);

I changed the 'Forum Display' template and put it where i wanted it.

$foruminfo[x_forumintro]

Now.. I did all this for 3.0 and it worked fine. But now with 3.5 I am getting this error

Fatal error: Field x_forumintro is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

Can someone help me figure out what i need to do to get rid of this error?
