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.

You need to be able to edit the thread in order to edit the extra fields.
Most of the time this privilege is only available to mods and admins.

What would be nice is to use AJAX and allow the user to double click on the extra field to edit it.

i installed it and works fine but wonder how to include new fields in search also... the default search skips them

davidecd · #**516** 04-12-2007, 01:46 PM

We hacked it so that the default search includes the extra fields.

If you're using FullText search, you need to add the extra fields to the full text index in MySql. Then change 6 lines or so in search.php so that the default search query includes your extra fields and you're good to go.

Installed premium version but the edit functionality for extra fields doesn't seem to work. Anybody got this working on the premium?

i am an admin when you try and edit the post you cannot change the fields again, abit of a pain when you put in the wrong option and wanna go back and change it.

You need to edit the thread, not the post.

LouiseDM · #**519** 04-15-2007, 03:12 PM

But the user should be able to edit his own mistake not have an admin or mod do it for them

TMS_Hon · #**520** 04-18-2007, 10:16 AM

thanks for the reply david
i did try but could not get it working can you mention the steps and where all the editing needs to be done to include extra fields in the search.
I have 4 extra fields and would like to implement the non-FullText method

pxd · #**521** 04-28-2007, 07:34 PM

I'm sorry for not being able to find the answer through this long thread.

Once a new thread is saved, the edit page does not have the extra fields on it, does that mean that once submitted, these extra fields are not available for modification? Or am I missing something?

EDIT: I think I've got my answer here. Sad though.
