custom field on showthread template via threadinfo

[tpearl5]

I'm trying to use a custom field on showthread via threadinfo. I know that the field has to be included in the threadinfo query somehow, but I don't know how to do it. It needs to be threadinfo because I would like to use the custom field of the thread poster. The result should be $threadinfo['fieldX']

Ideas?

Try creating a new plugin using hook fetch_threadinfo_query and this code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')
{
   $hook_query_fields .= ", userfield.fieldX ";
   $hook_query_joins .= " LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield ON(thread.postuserid = userfield.userid) ";
}

and of course you'll want to change the X to the actual field id.

Oops, there was an error in what I posted - it should have been userfield.fieldX instead of poster.fieldX.
