Update field on new post?
 

I added a field to the post table and in hook postdata_save, I have (trimmed down for display):
This works just fine, HOWEVER it doesn't work on a new thread post (first post).

It looks like there is threadfpdata_presave but if I do the same thing, it wants to add that field to the thread. I don't have any fields in the thread table or want to alter it, so how do I accomplish this?

thanks!

[s]Setting data in postsave won't save it to the database. By that time, the data has already been updated/created in the database, and you are working with post-processing tasks. You can just update the database with the DB object at postsave:[/s]

Whoops, read the hook wrongly. :p You should have a look at the ThreadPost Data Manager as well (there are a few DMs in that one file).
