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.

first of all, great hack

question: is there any way to make a field show up in forum display but not in showthread? i downloaded it because i wanted to add a "description" field for my thread titles, like some other boards have, where when you look at the forum display, you see the title of the thread, and then under it, a brief description. however, i dont want that description showing up in the actual thread, cos i just think it's sort of unwieldy-looking.

also, is there any way to not show the NAME of the field? like, instead of showing

What Are You Listening To?
describethread tell us all what you're listening too

it would just show this:

What Are You Listening To?
tell us all what you're listening to

thanks xx

edit: actually i've figured out how not to have the describethread show up-just don't put a title but it still puts a ":" before the description..any way to fix that?

Heh, I have the opposite problem. I want it to show up in the actual thread but not the forum display.

hello,can you tell me please how display fields vertical?

[jaks]

GREAT HACK!!! Very easy install. Definitely should be a standard feature for VB.

Question:
Is there any way to display the field description when posting the thread? It would be nice to give some instructions for some fields.

Clicked Install.
After searching and searching for a reverse Auction to add to my forum, THIS HACK will/could work perfectly for just that!!

Awsome Work!!

[yellowbird]

I'd like to be able to sort by the category field I created so users could for example click on the extra threadfield, ie: New York, and it would only show what is labelled as New York. How would I accomplish that?

[bchertov]

Will you be porting this to 3.6 as soon as it goes gold?
Whats up with the premium version???

[Intrigue34]

I installed the hack and get an error when I tried to visit the threadfields_admin.php page, moreover the hack menu isn't list in the admincp menu.. Help me please! I've uploaded all files !

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT title, description, fieldid
FROM thread_fields_admin
ORDER BY fieldid DESC;

MySQL Error : Table 'prophetie.thread_fields_admin' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

Is there a way to get this to append to the subject of the post as well?

Eg: If I pick type "Foo" in a checkbox, the subject of the post would become [Foo] My Post Subject

Thanks for a great mod.
