Gio, if your mod includes the ability to search / filter threadfields and make them required, then I would love to see your mod!

Searching is not included, but required is.

That's a shame.

I was hoping to be able to use this mod to be able to categorise posts. For such application, a search or filter function would be essential.

Ideally I guess I need something halfway between what the Premium version supposedly offers and what your mod offers.

Will this mod ever be updated again? I would like to buy the Premium version but NEED required fields. I would also love to have a filter or search function on the forumdisplay.

Hey guys,

thanks for that nice hack! :) I am able to create a new thread with setting the extra thread fields and the thread creates without any errors. But as soon as I am saving the edited extra thread fields, it displays an error on the vbulletin redirection after editiing:
The thread itself gets updated, but not the extra fields.

Any help on this? I am using vb 3.6.8 Patch Level 2

Sorry, this hasnt been caused by this plugin. False alert. :p

Does this hack create a new db field for each field in the thread table? So when you edit a thread you can change the values independantly? (That's what I'm looking for).

If so - fantastic!! Might be an idea to be able to set a charcter limit for fields too?

Does this hack have an adverse effect on the server? (does it add much load? Everything indexed ok in the db?)

Would it be easy enough to call any of the thread fields data in a custom script? (via a simple mysql query)

If you port this hack to 3.7 and it can do the above I will definitely donate!

(ps, as this is a lite version is there a pro version out there? I don't mind paying for it).

hi,
Can i edit the threadfields in post after the post are been created?

Only problem is, If u want to edit the post, threadfield option does not show...

You have to edit the thread to get to the field options, not the first post.

I have reworked with this hack to allow editing the thread fields by editing the first message (by posting user or admin) along with several other additional features. This is working on my board (www.waccobb.net see this forum) I don't have time to gather all the pieces to post it. Someone has begun to help me with this so I'm hoping to post it at vb.org soon. S/he is a novice programmer and could probably use some help.

And while I am at it, I am looking for a journeyman programmer to join my team. I have excellent interface ideas along with how they might would work. I wrote an award winning product in the FoxPro world (ask your Dad) . It could evolve into spinning off an excellent commercial product. Fabulous opportunity for half-to-full time paid VBulletin development work. Please PM if interested!
