Step 3. Do the edits located below

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.

In your post bit or post bit legacy try this:

Find this:

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
	<div align="right">$extrafields</div>
</if>

change to this:

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
	<div align="left">$extrafields</div>
</if>

Basically your changing the word "right" to "Left".

Also you can change the size of the font used.

In post bit or post bit legacy.

Find this:

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
	<div align="right">$extrafields</div>
</if>

replace with this:

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
	<FONT FACE="arial" SIZE="3"><div align="right">$extrafields</div></font>
</if>

To change the color of the extrafields replace with this:

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1' ">
	<FONT FACE="arial" SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000"><div align="left">$extrafields</div></font>
</if>

This does not do what I am asking other then just moving the fields from the right to left..... I am looking to have my fields listed in this manner
Field 1: xxxxxx
Field 2: xxxxxx
Field 3: xxxxxx

rather then this way Field 1: xxxxxx Field 2: xxxxxx Field 3: xxxxxx

mac27 · #**435** 11-12-2006, 12:31 AM

This aligns the fields to the left. From your explanation that looks like what you are wanting. Is this screen shot what you are wanting? If so then what I posted does this.

Yes your example is what I want to do but when I did your code edit all it did was just alligned the fields to the left rather then the right. I did not place them nicely top down like your posted example??? What did I do wrong?

mac27 · #**437** 11-12-2006, 12:50 AM

Are you wanting the fields aligned to the right or the left? Also can you show me a screen shot of what this code edit does to your fields.

bada_bing · #**438** 11-12-2006, 12:54 AM

This is what I get when I add your first code im my postbit.. I want it alligned to the left under the Title

taydu · #**439** 11-12-2006, 07:18 AM

Ok here is what you need to do along with what I posted above.

In the showthread_extra_fields template, replace the contents with this:

Code:

<div><b>$threadfield[title]:</b> $thread[fieldvalue]</div>

I do not know of anyway to move the extrafields into the message. As for showing up when admin edit a thread. Once you are viewing the thread just click on "Thread Tools" then on "Edit Thread". This is the only way I know of editing the extrafields after they have been posted.

Bare with me I keep playing with this hack to see what else it can do. I am learning as I go.
