Amending the thread title with user-selected options
 

(echoed over from a post in the PHP forum here -- I think it probably actually belongs in this forum)

Hey gang,

I'm charged with setting up a vBulletin technical help board for my school. I want to customize the posting stuff so that when one posts, it includes the lab they're in and the computer they're on, basedon drop-down menus. Now, I modified the posting template to include the appropriate form fields for this information, but I have no idea how to capture the data from the form fields and put it into the thread title (i.e. "301: Osiris: Help!" is what I want to get it to ultimately say). Does anyone know in which PHP (or template) file I can find the variable to edit that will set things the way I want them? I don't want separate database entries for the lab # and machine name; I just want it to concatenate into one thread name. Any ideas?

Thanks

Does anybody have an answer on this? This is one of two things holding up our lanuching of our board and I'd really like to get it squared away.

Thanks.
