**Before Making An Add on **
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.

What does this hack require?
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:
Code:
        <!-- / subject field -->
Add below:
Code:
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">$extrathreadfields</table>
Enjoy the hack.

Is it possible to apply these 'Extra Threadfields' to just a specific forum or will it be used by all forums on my board?

Thanks man, can't wait. While the forms hack is great stuff, this is much better for my purposes.

This is perfect! I have been looking for a classified system for vB, and this is it!

Keep developing it!

Can you get it so there is no direct modifications required? (Step 3. Do the edits located below)

I was thinking about that, however, the areas in which this touches is a bit sensitive and doing it so that it automatically makes those edits may be difficult for those that have custom styles.

IMHO the "all-automatic" path is problematic b/c most of us here have quite a few - if not a lot - changes to their styles, so I vote to keep it separate.

Excellent hack. I've been waiting for this kind of functionality for ages, and it came in just in time!

One suggestion to help new installers: Either include the full instructions in the first/second post, or take the instructions out and refer installers to your download. I was scratching my head for a bit before I realized that the readme contained the template edits, which wasn't very clear in the first post.

Again, thank you, thank you for this one!
