Step 2. Upload the files in the upload folder.
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.

Yo, Gio, I made a bunch of changes to your mod:
Editing first post edits threadfields

Separate label for editing and displaying

Option to add threadfield to title of thread

Contols on each thread field to display on forumdisplay and thread display

and probably a few more!

How would you like me to handle distributing this? As my own mod while crediting you for the original design and implementation? As an add-on (but it's really a replacement)? Other ideas?

Any reason that you can't use HTML when creating a field? I need to have images as one of my selectable regions, and everytime I save a field, it cuts off the end of the HTML code, creating errors. Anyway around this?

Digital Jedi · #**565** 10-18-2007, 01:32 AM

Okay, it's not just cutting off code. It's cutting off multiple selection fields if they have a lot of text in them. I just tried a long sentence 10 times and it cut the sentence down to two and chopped the third. What can I do to fix that? (Other then putting all my relevant images in a shorter directory?)

EDIT: Okay, I see why their being truncated now.

EDIT: Quick question. Is there any way to move the radio buttons and check boxes to the other side of their text? The way it is now, it aligns the text smack dab against the text for the next field, making it look like it belongs with something else. I've already accidentally selected the wrong field several times during testing, and I'd already told myself before installing not to do that. I can imagine this being done often by our users, and if if radio buttons are checked accidentally, there's no way to deselect them when you go to edit (barring creating an N/A field, which I'd rather not have). I think if you switch sides, you'll get the formatting like what you have with radio buttons beside the post icons. Just a guess, but I think vB is styled to have the radio and check fields to the right of it's text/icon, judging from the large spacing it puts to the close spacing it puts to the right of those fields and the huge gap it puts on the left. (It's also easy to confuse folks, when the spacing is exactly the same on the post icons below, but the alignment is different.)

There is no support for this in the hack. It would require a further modification. I could be persuaded ($

) to do this. PM me if interested.

LOL I would be interested, but lets just say that me, smiles and $ signs haven't met in a long, long time. It's been more like this lately. $

*installed*, works fine here with vbulletin 3.6.7. Thanks gio~logist.

It would be awesome to have the feature bchertov managed, to have a calendar popping up where you choose the date.

Is this a premium feature?

Thanks.
