Add a custom checkbox for threadposting?

[Brother Malachi]

Hello everyone,

In terms of php I know how to do this, but in terms of vB i'm clueless.

What I'm trying to do is add a checkbox to the post thread page and if checked it will invoke a different template for that thread.

My guess is I would have to hard code the checkbox, then add a new field for each thread mysql entry that specifies whether the checkbox was checked or not.

Via php that is very easy, but how would I do this using vbulletin? I've never edited vbulletin's php files nor the mysql db.

Is there an easier way to do this?

To add the checkbox, modify the newthread template. You'll likely need to use a hook called newthread_post_complete to execute a query to mark the DB field. (See inside newthread.php.)

Hey, thanks for replying.
I looked through the file and my guess is build_new_post is what actually does the mysql insertion.
I added two checkboxes to the template and the two columns to the table.
So how would I go about adding those two boolean values to the table?

Again - the easiest way to approach this is by using a plugin at newthread_post_complete.
