New Posting Features - Custom Thread Fields

What you can do with this hack is add multiple fields when someone creates a new thread. You can specify what fields can go in which forums.

To add, edit, or delete a custom field go into your ACP
Forums & Moderators --> Threads Field Manager

I was running into the same issue. This is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. Perhaps it should be?

In the big text-box with the php-code, scroll down to the bottom and find:

replace it with:

So, the <br> tages just become an enter
(make sure they are within "")




You prolly might have the same problem with the custom tags and answers..
Above that area u just fixed, find:



Change it into this:

PHP Code:

           if(in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $forumids))
           {
               $custom_message .= "[B]".$forms['title'].":[/B] ".$value."
"; 


If u want colored titles, do something like:

PHP Code:

 $custom_message .= "[B][COLOR=Navy]".$forms['title'].":[/COLOR][/B] ".$value."
"; 


Notice that I removed the "" from [COLOR="NAVY"]
(somehow placing a \ in front of them isn't working)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~


I would like to see an option in type of field, like I want to have a textarea sometimes.
And also the ability for an url-field.
So u get:
._________ . .___________
|_link-field_| |_name-field_|

for example

I'm running into the same issue that prompted this fix.

Unfortunately, it appears that the plug-in has changed since this fix was posted.

Here is the current "Custom Thread Forms [newthread_post_start]" that I have installed.

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->options['custom_thread_fields_enabled'])
{
$getcustomthreadfields = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "custom_thread_forms");
  while($forms = $db->fetch_array($getcustomthreadfields))
  {

    $custom_formid = "custom_$forms[custom_formid]";
    $value = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', $custom_formid, TYPE_STR);

    if($forms['required'] == 1 && empty($value))
    {
       eval(standard_error(fetch_error('fill_in_custom_thread_field')));
    }

    if($forms['fieldtype'] == 1)
    $value = nl2br($value);

    $forumids = explode(",", $forms['forumid']);

    if(!empty($value))
    {
        if(in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $forumids) OR $forms['forumid'] == "-1" )
        {
           $custom_message .= "[b]".$forms['title']."[/b]: $value<br /><br />";
           $break = "<br /><br />";
        }
    }

  }

  $vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "$break $custom_message";
 } 


Anyone have any ideas? I don't really want to allow users to use HTML code on the forums....

[Stefano Virgill]

Hi guys,
cause my customized fields are always the same 3, I'm wondering if it's possible to set a 3 options drop down menu instead of a text field.

Thanks in advance

Steve

BUMP!

[sp?x]

Nice idea, but there will be displayed the html code like <br/><br/>.

[RedGTiVR6]

No there's not?

[Gratisites]

Greets, is there a way for the "Custom Field" fieldset etc.. to disappear if there's no custom fields for the forum?

I tried something like...

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 30">
<br />
<fieldset>
<legend>Custom Fields</legend>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">
$custom_form
</table>
</fieldset>
</if>

But it didn't work... any ideas?
