Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/intrade3/public_html/www-espertionline.org/forum/newthread.php(563) : eval()'d code on line 13

In addition as shown in the image page has a few problems caused by this product.

P. S. I have not made ​​changes to the Aluna temlate forum. All I did was load the various files as shown in the installation file.

Someone can help me? This product takes a lot to me. thanks

Is there a way that this mod or hack can be adjusted for VB version 4.2.1? I am in need of a way to add a custom field to the threads. Thanks

[BarracodE]

I got this working for 4.2.1. Thank you for this plugin. It saved many hours.

I'm no vBulletin programmer but I can hack my way through. Here were my steps:

Upload the contents of the 4.X.X zip file to admin, includes, pics directories.

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

Browse to product-custom_thread_forms.xml

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Disable Template Changes - newthread_form_complete

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Custom Thread Field Settings -> Edit -> Enable Custom Thread Fields -> Yes

Admin CP -> Settigns -> Options -> Custom Thread Field Settings -> Edit -> Template Changes -> No

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Threads Field Manager -> Add a new Field

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Search in Templates -> Search for newthread -> Select newthread -> Customize

--Find this code in the newthread template--
-----------------------
{vb:raw messagearea}
-----------------------

--Below Add--
-----------------------
<vb:if condition="$custom_form">
<BR>
<fieldset>
{vb:raw custom_form}
</fieldset>
<BR>
</vb:if>
-----------------------

-- Optional Steps --

--I like my new field above the text area {vb:raw messagearea} so I did this and used a new blockrow:
<div class="blockrow">
<vb:if condition="$custom_form">
<fieldset>
{vb:raw custom_form}
</fieldset>
</vb:if>
</div>

-- I also wanted my field displayed in front of the message so I updated the plugin:
Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Custom Thread Forms [newthread_post_start - newthread_post_start -> Edit

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

-- Replace with
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $custom_message."<BR><BR>".$vbulletin->GPC['message'];

Thanks again for the plugin! Hope this helps!!

Any idea how to show any of the thread field results in lets say the threadbit template?

So instead of the thread title I want to replace that with the input text.

[qldafwebmaster]

this works fine for me on VB4 using barracodE fix however when if use multiple custom fields on a single forum it places the fields all on one line and not a separate line for each field im also getting a <BR><BR> code at the beginning of every thread?
