5 Easy Steps

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.

I believe there is a permission setting titled "Can edit own threads".

Yes you can. However, it will be complicated unless you are a fairly novice coder. It would require you to understand the plugin, variables, etc.

Hi Gio,
I had asked in post #116 about showing the extra threadfields in the threadbit (I think it's called the threadbit) - for some reason I can't manage to get the extra threadfields to show up there. can you take a look ?
Thanks!

photoboy · #**256** 03-26-2006, 08:10 AM

this thread is getting really long! sorry if I missed relevant answers...

re: post #122
Any way to pass the extra threadfields to
the message to they can be searchable like any regular message text?

Gio~Logist · #**257** 03-26-2006, 01:18 PM

Your first question - What variable are you trying to use and in what template?

Your second question - I do not believe that that will be available in the Lite version.

This is the code:

Code:

<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

$extrafields
<br>
Hello
	<else />
	<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

$extrafields
<br>
Hello
	</if>

And these images show the type of page it's in - I think it's threadbit - you can see your screenshot and a similar one of mine. I was able to edit the page ("Hello") but $extrafields doesn't seem to be doing anything...

That's not the way it sais to do it in the readme.txt. When you do it how it sais int he readme file, does it work?

I thought I followed the instructions - here they are... I don't see what I did differently. The < br > and "Hello" are the only difference, no? I put that in there just to confirm I was able to effect the page. What am I missing?

Code:

// ############# Do The Following In The threadbit template ##############

Search for:
				<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong

Add below:
		$extrafields


Search for:
<else />
				<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

Add below:
		$extrafields

Are you sure that you uploaded the xml and that all of the options are enabled?
