bump

Custom fields section is empty with just heading Custom fields in new thread page. I added new feilds through Add new fields form and also when I query through Execute Sql Query window. Records are showing up. but not showing up in form I tried forum ID -1 and also empty. Fields are not showing up. I also enabled settings in Vbbulletin options.

m8 did you edit the templates because sometimes auto edit does not work.

Hi, where do we find forum id's? :)

m8 example http://www.url.com/forumdisplay.php?f=71 the number after the f is the forum id.

Anyone know if this is working on 3.6.8?

Yes it does.

Do the results become a part of the actual post or are they stored in a separate table that is part of this mod and displayed in the post? I ask because if this mod is removed it is important that the results are not removed from the post. Thanks

When I try and import the product I get an error: "XML Error: No error at Line 0"

I have followed the instructions exactly and am running 3.6.8.

Any idea why this might be?

Anybody?

Ok change of tactic - how much would it cost me to get this working on my site?:rolleyes:

m8 attach your xml file will take a look

I haven't edited it. It is the same one you download for the mod.

Is it possible to have fields insert themselves into the title of the thread? For example, I want users to have to specify a category from a drop-down box. Can it insert this into the title of the thread, i.e. so it appears on the forumdisplay as:

[CATEGORY] Post title

???

I love this hack... but so far I can only get custom feilds to show up in the new thread I can't get the actual feilds to show up. I've been through the directions 3 times, I'm running 3.6.8 and I've edited the newthread template.

any other ideas. I've also read this entire post history all 12 pages. WOW

I think this mod is so desireable it needs it's own developement forum.

Anyway if anyone can help please do so

neer mind I deleted the custom feilds, re-installed the product and it now works, actually it works too well I have two sets of the same feild. LOL I need to go and remove my edits to the newthreds template. Thanks again!

Me Again

Quick question is there anyway to get radio button to be multiple select? It seems like this should be an easy customization? or to have to radio options one multiple on single select.

One bug that I've just noticed.

If you have a long question in the thread field manager, it doesn't warp and hold width according to the forum width. It will stretch outside of the boundaries offered by the forum.

Is there a way to fix this eles where bychance?

I'd like to know this as well...for instance, I'm trying to use this for bug reporting. i'd like to have two fields auto populate the thread title: Issue Description and Version...posted like this:

Issue Description - Version

I can do this with the form hack I'm using, but if I can do this with this hack it might just replace that hack.

Also, as a nice added feature, it would be cool if you could display a larger text box for longer, more detailed fields. Though I realize this might be outside of the scope of this mod, it's a thought I thought I would throw out there.

hi does anyone know how to edit this so the info shows at $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] and not with the post itself?

Hi, does this hack create new fields in the database or does it just create form inputs where the data is added to the post?

I need a hack where when you click edit the actual fields can be edited seperately - can this hack do that?

Cheers.

I found a problem w/ 3.6.8 pl2.

I have selected it to only show in one forum and I have it as a required field, now any other forum that you try to create a thread in it says go back and fill out all custom fields, so the only place you can make a thread is in that one forum, if required option is on.

please fix this!

I had the same problem as ZomgStuff.

nice mod. thanks.

Thanks for this. Nice idea ;) Installing now!

I have the same problem as ZomgStuff and RedGTiVR6.

Please fix this, it's spoilt an otherwise very useful mod!

I've had a crack at fixing our problem, and the attached product appears to work.

The changes were:

In Plugin:
newthread_post_start

Replace:
With: (Or delete it)
Replace:
With:
Save Plugin:
newthread_post_start

It works for me (vB3.6.8 PL2), could someone confirm with their board also?

I'm using this to collect a great deal of information for an online project. I need to know... or rather does anyone know if these fields are sorted and displayed alphabetical, numerical, or via created?

So far, your updated product xml appears to be working just fine. Thanks.

Working for me but, the fields appear twice under the Message area.

Also is there a way to remove the message area and only use these fields when Posting with this section.

Id donate to whoever can come up with a working 3.7 version. Found a few errors when I installed it, most of them mentioned already.

i second that
if you guys could make that then it would be a winner i think
no message box just the custom fields :up:

i try'ed to install this hack

can some one help me out with this ?
or does some one knows why and what this error means

Working 3.7 Version would be great :)

My users have <br/>/<br/> posted next to all of the fields. Anyway I can remove this? Here is the code I have, please tell me what to edit. Thank you.

if($vbulletin->options['custom_thread_fields_enabled'])
{
$getcustomthreadfields = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "custom_thread_forms");
while($forms = $db->fetch_array($getcustomthreadfields))
{

$custom_formid = "custom_$forms[custom_formid]";
$value = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', $custom_formid, TYPE_STR);

if($forms['required'] == 1 && empty($value))
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('fill_in_custom_th read_field')));
}

if($forms['fieldtype'] == 1)
$value = nl2br($value);


$forumids = explode(",", $forms['forumid']);

if(!empty($value))
{
if(in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $forumids) OR $forms['forumid'] == "-1" )
{
$custom_message .= "".$forms['title'].": $value<br /><br />";
$break = "<br /><br />";
}
}

}

$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "$break $custom_message";
}

Anyone help with this?

Please?

What do I edit to make it so the custom message shows on top of the regular message?

This is exactly what I need!

So I'm guessing this mod is no longer supported?
