Custom Thread Fields
 

What you can do with this hack is add multiple fields when someone creates a new thread. You can specify what fields can go in which forums.

To add, edit, or delete a custom field go into your ACP
Forums & Moderators --> Threads Field Manager

I guess you can help when someone reports an error.

I was looking forward to you fixing it for 3.6.0! :(

Error SQL.. ;)

This is a cool hack but can you upgrade it to 3.6.2 thanks.

This is a great idea, I would use this for forum areas I have set up for classifieds, however, I am using 3.6 :(

This looks good - what would be the chances of having the custom fields at the top of the post rather than the bottom?

Thanks

You can place them anywhere you want with a template edit.

Here is the 3.6.x version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=128587

Nice Harmor, I've got loads of uses for this.

any way to put the answer to the field into the thread title?

Not currently, I'll add it to the list of things I need to code into it.

Err... You forgot to put parse html after the post, right ? :paranoid:

All the <br /> show unparsed...

No biggie, just fyi.

Oh, to make the Custom Field mandatory to all posts in that thread:
in the thread just copy the contents of Custom Thread Forms [newthread_form_start] plugin to a new plugin and save it under the newreply_form_start hook, do the same for the Custom Thread Forms [newthread_post_start] (now save it to newreply_post_start) and duplicate the template changes you did for newthread into the newreply template.

Can this be enabled (per forum)

I would love to see some html formating options for the fields. This could be used to submit specific preformated event listings and in the process I would like to resize via CSS images for the final result.

Yes, you set it up per forum.

It sounds like you want real forms, not just a field. Did you check the Forms Hack ?

Wow you are correct! - That forms hack is awesome!
thanks for pointing that out to me .thumbsup.
