Extra Post Fields ?

[wolfe]

i have tried to add 3 extra fields to my new post for chosen forum but its not inserting anything. here what i have done so far.

in the database table post i have added 4 fields img, info, trailer and url.

and a normal newthread form but with extra fields and there names are

for table img fieldname is txtImage
for table trailer fieldname is txtTrailer
for table url fieldname is url
for table info fieldname is infotext

in class_dm_threadpost.php: i changed

var $validfields = array(

what am i missing because its just returning


The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
Please complete both the subject and message fields.
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

[Opserty]

Use the same name for the inputs as you do in the table, i.e. in the post table you should have the columns url, image, trailer and info. Regarding the error message its probably because you have mucked up a piece of code somewhere and its throwing up problems. Also you shouldn't edit files directly, what you are trying to do can be achieved by using plugins I'm pretty sure.

I'll look through the files and try and give you some pointers in a bit.

[wolfe]

thx m8 would be alot better if i could use a plugin. also i need it so the txtDesc field submits as the message.

[Opserty]

Hook Location: newthread_post_start

// Clean input
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'url' => TYPE_STR,
'img' => TYPE_STR,
'info' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'trailer' => TYPE_NOHTML
));

// Assign the input to go to the builder
$newpost['url'] = $vbulletin->GPC['url'];
// Repeat for others


Hook Location: postdata_start

// Set our custom valid fields
$this->validfields['url'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO);
// Repeat for others

Hook Location: newpost_process

// Set the input data to the custom fields
$dataman->setr('url', $post['url']);
// Repeat for others


Now you need to edit the newthread template with the correct input boxes which have the names 'url', 'img', 'info' and 'trailer'.

I hope I haven't missed anything out but I think that it is pretty much it.

EDIT: I don't know if you can overwrite the message text with the txtDesc using plugins. Why not just ask the user to input the description as the content of the post? It would be far easier to do it that way :p

[wolfe]

get this error m8

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

[Opserty]

Did you repeat this code appropriately?

// Set our custom valid fields
$this->validfields['url'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO);
// Repeat for others


For img, trailer e.t.c. same goes for the wherever else I commented "Repeat for others".

If you have repeated it and its still not working post the code you wrote.

[wolfe]

yes m8 i repeated all required ones and i get that error. any ideas

[Paul M]

You need to define the fields in threadfpdata_start as well as postdata_start - add the same code to that hook.

You also need to define them as being for the post table - via hook threadfpdata_doset

Add a line like this for each one ;

if ($fieldname == 'url') $tables = array('post');

[wolfe]

i have sorted the problem now but i cant get it to update the contents of the post on edit it just insert nothing into the database.
