You are very welcome bada_bing.

thanks mac27,

I figure out how to put it inside the post with the message instead of below the title

In the postbit template find

below add

Good find. Have you had any issues out of it when you tested it?

so far no problem

Cool. I will have a play with it.

it's possbile to let the author edit the extra threadfield when he/she edit the post?

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?

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.

This is one of the nicest hack I'm going to install this and also nominate.
gonna try this on 3.63 thanks.
EDIT: I made it work on one of my forum, but I'm sorry to say this does not parse html anchor tag :( Is there a way to include bigger large description text with html?? which also includes anchor tag.
Thanks

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,,

You might read previous post. This has been answered before and only one page back I think.

In the showthread_extra_fields template, replace the contents with this:

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:

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

Im getting this error when I click on either Extra Field Manager or Add an Extra Field

Please help !

Thanks, looks great, cant wait to get it working :)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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?

what can the premium version do?

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.

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.

I was just brainstorming this exact mod today.

Too bad the coder vanished.

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!)

Good news!

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 ;)

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