Please consult with me before making an add on to this hack. As it is my work and such, the add ons that you are trying to make for it may be in the next release and/or premium version.

What does this do?
This hack allows you to add more fields to your threads besides just the title and message. This is extremely usefull in order to specify certain things in a thread in a way that people are more aware of it and such. There are several types of fields you can add and several features for the hack.

Template Edits: 4
Products Imported: 1

5 Easy Steps
Step 1. Import the following product: product-extra_threadfields.xml
Step 2. Upload the files in the upload folder.
Step 3. Do the edits located below
Step 4. Edit the newly added options in admincp as you please
Step 5. Enjoy the hack.

F.A.Q
Q. How do i get extra fields to show in the "edit post" page?
A. This is only available in the premium version.

Q. If i do not want the fields to be shown automatically, can i do it manually?
A. You can manually show fields in threads or posts by using $thread[fieldx] in the postbit or showthread template. Replace x with the ID of the field you want. To find the ID of the field go to admincp >> Extra Threadfields >> Extra Fields Manager, and hover over a field. The number after fieldid = will be the id of your field.

Q. I updated all of the options, i installed it perfectly, i did all edits, and still the options are not showing when i go to add a new thread. What do i do?
A. It is believed that you have a hack interfering with this one. Take away the edit that you did for putting $extrathreadfields inside the newthread template, and do this instead:

Search for:

        <!-- / subject field -->

Add below:

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">$extrathreadfields</table>

Enjoy the hack.

Sure thing. If you'd like, PM me the resulsts, this way we do not flood the thread with this.

I can't manage to display extra fields in the forums display of threads (as opposed to the display of posts in a single thread)

I attached your screenshot showing the extra fields, and a screenshot of my own, showing that I was able to insert a bit of text into the thread summary, but the $extrafields variable isn't doing anything

<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
				<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>


$extrafields
<br>
Hello


			<else />
				<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>



$extrafields
<br>
Hello

			</if>

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I want these extra fields to only be available when starting a thread in a certain forums. For example I only want these fields to be available in my Selling Forums and no other forums. I also would like an option to force the member to fill in that field like the cost field since my selling forum rules are you must post a selling price and by doing it this way they are forced to fill in the cost field

Anyone answer this

i have uninstalled every single hack and not 1 take the error away. so unfortunatly i have to take it down sorry and thanks for trying. i really like this hack.

Great Hack. I love it :-) Perfect for my Game development site.

but... i know it is somehow possible to allow members to edit their own fields, because vb.org lets you do it for mods... if this could also be figured out, I would greatly appreciate it. :-)
