Step 3. Do the edits located below
Step 4. Edit the newly added options in admincp as you please

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.

These may seem like silly questions to some of you but being new to VBulletin I am asking these questions becuase I really dont know the answers.

I have installed new MODS in the Simple Machine Forums but I am a total newbie to the VB forum

Thanks in advance for the help

5 Easy Steps
Step 1. Import the following product: product-extra_threadfields.xml

I think this is self explanitory as I have seen the Import feature in the admin panel

Step 2. Upload the files in the upload folder.

To what directory on my web space do I upload these files to

Step 3. Do the edits located below

In which Directory do I find these templates

NEWTHREAD template

threadadmin_editthread template

postbit or postbit_legacy template

threadbit template

Step 4. Edit the newly added options in admincp as you please

Step 5. Enjoy the hack.

excellent hack, nearly what i am looking for. Would it be possible to add the below features:

1: let the extra threadfields show up on the latest topics on the front page.

2: would it be possible to add a dropdown so the member can select what forum to post the thread in.

thanks in advance.

Has this been addressed in the premium version?

I just tested the Lite version on 3.6 RC2 and it works flawless

R.Solutions · #**387** 07-19-2006, 12:15 PM

I know what to use to make small font, but where would i put it so that the small font is used when you look at the forum display?

code:0

mac27 · #**390** 07-21-2006, 02:16 AM

Clicked install and it looks great thanks. I will watch for new updates to this.

One question though. How do I make the text center or align in the actual thread after it is created. Right now they are all aligned to the right.

Garrylawton · #**391** 07-21-2006, 02:28 PM

I asked this a while ago and nobody responded so I am hoping someone will respond this time

As I stated I am new to VB and installing hacks in the program so I would really appreciate some help or at least a link to where I could read about what is need ed to install som hacks

Thank You

Garry
