Hi People,

I am in the process of making a hack for my forums and im trying to do the whole thing using hooks.

I have added a new field to the admincp > edit/add new forums...

I want to do some checking on this feild so i have added the following to the forumdata_start plugin

        function verify_event_date(&$event_date)
        {
                $event_date = "03-03-2006";
                return true;
        }

$this->validfields['event_date'] = array(TYPE_NOCLEAN, REQ_NO, 'return verify_event_date($event_date);');

In the above funtion i just wanted to see if i can override the value.. so i hard coded "03-03-2006". This is for testing purposes.

For some reason it will not set the new value.

As far as i can see this should work, They even have an example in the vbb manaual that shows it should work.

Ideas anyone?

THANKS!

NOTE: if i code this into class_dm_forum.php it works so im not to sure where im going wrong.
