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.

Ran into the following problem with my custom fields when installed.

First I got it set up and working just fine. The only original problem I ran into is when I copied and pasted the text

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

after the <!-- / message area -->

When I did this the fields I set up all showed up twice when creating a new thread. I deleted the code above form the "newthread template" and it worked fine (showing the fields only once).

This week I had to switch servers for my board located at www.newjerseyboards.com and after the database transfer was complete, no members were able to post a new message. They were told they had to complete all custom fields first. I suspected it was a problem with the "Custom Fields Thread" so when I went ahead and disabled it and the problem was gone and pasting was again allowed.

So, I went into Manage products, I uninstalled the Cutom Fields Thread Product and reinstalled it but the problem re-ocurred. It only happens with a new thread and not with a reply.

For the time being I have the Custom Fields Thread option turned off until I can figure out what is going wrong.

anyone?

hi
but he still can post the thread as well right?

and does it work on 3.6.8?

also I need it to work in some sections only not all forum

Seems like a great Mod - something I can actually use....maybe someone can help me with a few changes I would need...

1) Anyway of making one of the profile fields the title of the post so I can remove the 'Title field'

2) Any way of putting the custom fields above the text area for the post? I saw a previous post about this but it appears the mod might have changed because my plugin code doesnt match what the post is saying to change.

3) How can I make the post look like this:

Custom Field Question
Custom Field Answer

Instead of

Custom Field Question: Custom Field Answer

I want to add the break in there so the answer goes under the question

I'm on 3.6.8 and the Custom Fields area is empty

// ------------------------------------------------

Sorry, now all work fine. Maybe is better make enable this by default in the vBulletin Options -> Custom Thread Fields Settings

[rafa3l]

Hello all,

This is mod is wonderful, but I would like put a custom field in the title like a prefix, for example:

[customfield] title of the thread

And the others custom fields to work inside the saved post. Maybe at the beginning and not at the end.

If this is possible I'll happy

// ------------------------------------------------

I found the solution making a few harcode changes in the plugin Custom Thread Forms [newthread_post_start]

I add this line:

$vbulletin->GPC['subject'] = "[$prefix] " . $vbulletin->GPC['subject'];

above this:

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

and this:

if($forms['title'] == "custom field title")
$prefix = $value;

below this:

$value = nl2br($value);


Regards

This is because your normal user have by default html off.


But I create a custom <br /> tag in the BB code. For example:

[br]example[/br]   =   <br>example</br>

And then in the plugin:

$custom_message .= "[br]".$forms['title'].": $value"."[/br]";
               $break = "[br]---------------------------[/br]";

This hack is Great.

I want use together with this. But, if i do, the first hack disappears.

The first hack, when i make many fields, don't work. User can't post.

I Think the problem is when create a non imput box.

Anyone can hel me?
