Adding additional fields on New Thread
 

What PHP file specifically submits the data through a query to create a new thread? I am trying to add 2 additional fields when creating a new thread, but cannot seem to locate the query that adds the data from a typical new thread to the database.

If anyone could please assist with this, I'd appreciate it very much. I have been scanning through files all night :).

It is built using the thread datamanagers.

The best way to handle it would be:

• add fields to the newthread template
• clean the variables in newthread_post_start ($vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc()
• add fields to database using another query in newpost_complete eg

Or it could very well be possible by modifying the datamanagers, but I'm not that far into the system yet :)

- Alter table thread to add your fields
- Adjust Template newthread
- Creae a Plugin for threadpfdata_start to add the fields to its validfields
- Create a Plugin for newthread_post_start to set the fields in $post to the cleaned form data
- Create a Plugin for newpost_process to set the values from $post to the Datamanager

This method does not cause additional queries :)

Can that method be used to add fields in other tables?

The method I mentioned above actually modifies a different table, because im storing certain information outside of that table.

No. But as I understood the initial request, he wants to add data to the thread table.

Sorry, I asked that question for myself :) Oh well, Im happy with my method for a secondary table then :)

I'm having this same trouble trying to find the code for posting a thread to the thread table. I too want to populate some additional fields in the table. Surely there must be some query somewhere with 'INSERT' within it? Does anyone know where to find it?

ok, im needing help in this exact area, infact, ive made 2 posts about it, 1 in php and 1 in services...

Kirby, when you say
- Adjust Template newthread

how do we alter it, what do we add/take out?

and the rest of the crap, what dose that mean? could you elaberate a bit please ^^

EDIT: kirby, do i ahve to edit the 'thead table' if its going to have nothign to do with the table? mine has to do with the postbit :S
