Hi Gio~logist, in newthread template, I want to use the if condition to display a certain custom field like

<if condition="$thread[field2]"> $thread[field2]</if>

but nothing show up, I wonder what's the right systax to display custom fields? I want to do it for 4 templates we hav to modify in the instructions as well.

One more thing, how do make the radio buton & multiple checked box display BEFORE the value? Like
[x] A
[ ] B
[ ] C

Instead of
A [x]
B [ ]
C [ ]
?

Thanks Gio~logist for a great hack!

Installed! Great hack, well put together and simple. :)

I do not understand what you want to do in the first part.

For the second part, you'd have to edit the plugin.

Thank you :p

Gio~logist, what I wanted was to display it manually without using $extrathreadfields in newthread template just like how you show it in FAQ how to put it in postbit & showthread template.

Thanks,
CK

You want to insert the fileds in the newthread template manually? All that can be controlled in the admincp. You can control order and everything. What is it that you'd like to change?

Thanks for a fast respond.

Yes, I want to insert the fields in the newthread template manually. I actually create another hardcode template to organize the fields, make it look different than the original "New Thread". I'm planing a support forum and use your hack to make a question form for members to submit!

Thanks,
CK

I don't allow users to be able to edit their threads, just thier posts, can this still work?

Just like the title of the thread, these fields can only be edited via edit thread. Perhaps i will see if i can somehow get it to show in edit post for the premium version.

That would be cool. The only way I see to let uses edit their threads is to allow then to delete their own threads via the user-group permissions.

I believe there is a permission setting titled "Can edit own threads".

gio~logist, can I do such thing with your hack?

Yes you can. However, it will be complicated unless you are a fairly novice coder. It would require you to understand the plugin, variables, etc.

Hi Gio,
I had asked in post #116 about showing the extra threadfields in the threadbit (I think it's called the threadbit) - for some reason I can't manage to get the extra threadfields to show up there. can you take a look ?
Thanks!

this thread is getting really long! sorry if I missed relevant answers...

re: post #122
Any way to pass the extra threadfields to
the message to they can be searchable like any regular message text?

Your first question - What variable are you trying to use and in what template?

Your second question - I do not believe that that will be available in the Lite version.

This is the code:

And these images show the type of page it's in - I think it's threadbit - you can see your screenshot and a similar one of mine. I was able to edit the page ("Hello") but $extrafields doesn't seem to be doing anything...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...8&d=1141294620

That's not the way it sais to do it in the readme.txt. When you do it how it sais int he readme file, does it work?

I thought I followed the instructions - here they are... I don't see what I did differently. The < br > and "Hello" are the only difference, no? I put that in there just to confirm I was able to effect the page. What am I missing?

Are you sure that you uploaded the xml and that all of the options are enabled?

Feel free to PM me details to your site and such so that i can take a look.

[high]Changelog:[/high]

* There was a problem that made i so that if no forumid was specified, instead of showing the fields for all forums, it wouldn't show in any as far as forumdisplay is concerned. This problem has been fixed. Now, if you do not enter any forumid when adding a field, it shows in all forumdisplays like it's supposed to.

Zip Updated!!

Can the extra text/fields added to the threads be HTML? This might be a good way to add Technorati tags!

Works well, thanks.

Thanks,
Mat

Any Ideas ?

you don't need html to make it do technorati tags. Think outside the box ;)

That's not a bug. You just have to edit the database field to make it so that the field's maximum value is at more than what it is now. You can do this via phpmyadmin.

What do i look for ?

Go to the thread_fields_admin table and then look for the column that sais "options". Change the 250 (i believe that's what it is), to whatever you'd like.

#1074 - Too big column length for column 'options' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead

I got this... i tried to set it at 500

Try using Mediumint

This works great! Awesome hack with a lot of potential... great job.

To upgrade, do we just overwrite the product or are there some more edits to be made?

Just overwrite the product and files :p

sweet, thanks Gio :D

Anytime :p

Gio~logist, I understand and can follow the instruction pretty well. I've made the MEMBERINFO template with every custom userfields completely manually (hard coded) and it's almost the same as your hack in this situation. Can you show me where should I begin?

Thanks gio~logist!

It requires knowing a bit of php as well. I would do it, however, i am tight on time right now. Sorry about that.

This hack is great - but what about showing it in the New Posts link?

Like when you search with this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=getnew

Can we say premium version? :p

when can we expect said premium version?
