**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.

Welcome back, Gio!

I don't know if these are new ideas or not, but here a couple of things I'd like to do with threadfields (either lite or premium):

1) Support for a Date field that includes the display of the calendar date picker
2) support for a Time fields that has validation and perhaps a cool time picker
3) Ability to add a field but have it not display on the ForumDisplay
4) Add a field that is only accessable by certain usergroups
5) I presume this is already there: ability to edit any of the thread fields.

Could your let me know that status of these potential features?

Thanks!
Barry

Hi, how do you handle textareas? Like one item per line?

1) & 2: So, images representing the date and time?
3) I believe that's already an option in the Light version. If not, it is in the premium.
4) Available in premium
5) Already exists

Hope that helps.

Textareas are not supported at the moment.

Not at the moment, but that would be a totally different script.

I never really use ajax, but i may look into this.

For Date fields I'd want to see a calendar image that brought up a calendar popup like on many website. Times could be a drop-down box preloaded with half hour time increments.

Glad to hear the other features already exist!

Thanks!

Well, for the time field, drop down boxes already exist to do this

That's really too bad for textarea. If at least you could include it in premium version.....

Another important question, how do you handle printhread.php? do the extra fields find their way in there too? I had that problem with Gars and extra fields not being printed.

KPalicz · #**498** 02-14-2007, 03:11 PM

I agree on the date suggestion. If not anything fancy like a calendar, perhaps at least a check that it is in a proper date format (which date format is selected in the admin panel).

Also I'd also like to see an option to automatically make links clickable.
