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?

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.

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

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.

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!!

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?

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

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 !

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

Eg: If I pick type "Foo" in a checkbox, the subject of the post would become [Foo] My Post Subject

Thanks for a great mod. :D

I'd like to know that also but Id like to filter it for " New York " in example

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:

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

To create a smallfont effect, you could wrap you text with:
Notice the BOLD code. Thats the class atribute you need to use to create a smalller text size.

Thanks, just installed it! :)

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.

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.

Has this been addressed in the premium version?

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

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?

Whoah, that is great to hear!

this hack has a problem 3.5.4 when you press Extra Fields Manager you cant delete or edit the text except only pressing on it but you cant delete it. It gives me an error in intrent explorer in the panel

Linke: 41
Char: 1
error: object expected
code:0

Clicked install and it looks great thanks. I will watch for new updates to this.

One question though. How do I make the text center or align in the actual thread after it is created. Right now they are all aligned to the right.

I asked this a while ago and nobody responded so I am hoping someone will respond this time

As I stated I am new to VB and installing hacks in the program so I would really appreciate some help or at least a link to where I could read about what is need ed to install som hacks

Thank You

Garry

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.

This hack was made on 3.5.4 (even though it works on all 3.x). Is that the error you get?

Replace <div align="right"> with <div align="center">

Kools thanks.

I sent you a pm with a question also. I will ask it again in here.

How can I make the extra fields be in a column? One below the other.

I believe i helped you out via our messages sir ;)

Yes you did and again I and thankful for your help. :)

Is it possible to make a field required yet?

gio~logist,

Sweet add-on - I've clicked INSTALL!

One question though, I've noticed that the only way the extra fields show when editing is when I click on "Thread Tools" > Edit Thread.

However if I click on the edit button in the post itself it doesn't show these options - how might I fix this?

-Michael

I would also be interested in getting the fields to be entered as the thread title and don't mind upgrading to the paid version to have this.

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