ok so this is my first time working with any of this so here is what ive done so far, ive managed to add the checkbox to the additional options by adding this code to the newthread template...

PHP Code:

<div>

<label for="cb_authorship"><input type="checkbox" name="authorship" value="1" id="cb_authorship" tabindex="1" $checked[authorship] />Claim google authorship</label>

</div> 


I have then added this to the postbitlegacy template...

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['authorship']">
                <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]" rel="author">$post[musername]</a>
<else />
<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a></if> 


Again i have no idea if this is right because this is my very first time working with assigning variables and using IF statements etc in PHP

Anyway, is there anything else i need to do for this to work?
Its probably so far off the mark but i just kinda copied some code from the other options nearby and modified them to try and do what i want it to do...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I take it im not assigning the variable right.

So i need to add some sort of...

if authorship is checked, then set $show[authorship] =true?

Someething along those lines? anyone?

im struggling hehe cheers

So im guessing i need to add a plugin with the code that will find out if cb_authorship was checked, if so, set $show[authorship] to true.

What would the code be for this, and what hook location should i add it to?
thanks in advance
