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 composed a fix for everyone. Hopefully should work for everyone like it did me.

When in doubt, leave it up to me to fix da bugs


If you don't wanna re-import the XML then goto your plugin manager

FIND: newthread_post_start

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

replace with:

if($forms['required'] == 1)
    {
      $forumids = explode(",", $forms['forumid']);
         if(in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $forumids))
           {
      if(empty($value))
      {
        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('fill_in_custom_thread_field')));
      }
	   }
    }

Don't forget to check out my addons for this hack here and here !

Make sure "Allow Overwrite" is "No" and click "Import" is what you say , but if the original one is on it wont let you import the product with out overwriting the original file. So what I did was edit the code with you quoted up above. I also added the Custom thread field add on and all I see is just text boxes after the Required field...


Add a New Custom Field
Enter the Forum IDs for the field to be placed in
Seperate each ID with a comma, Use -1 to include all forum IDs
Title:
Required

When I click save I get this database error....

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.2:

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE custom_thread_forms SET
forumid = '37',
title = 'For Sale',
required = '1',
prefixed = '0',
opentag = '',
closetag = '',
textboxsize = '0',
textboxmax = '0',
textboxdesc = ''
WHERE custom_formid = 1;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'prefixed' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

[paul41598]

you know what though, which I failed to mention. My addon is the code from the original hack version. You cant enter in extra forum id's seperated by columns, etc. I've never wrote my addon to reflect the most recent update of this hack with is more than 1 forum id.

So dont use my addon basically..

Is there any way that the fields names can form additional top columns in the list of threads ( eg so you could have "Thread Title", "Custom Field 1" "Custom Field 2", Last Post, Replies etc) - with the entries for the fields listed below (and ideally sortable) as entries in the new thread columns?

This would be fantastic!

I am getting the following code when posting a new thread

Is there a fix for this?

THat's because u prolly have html-code set to off

Go to ur plugins
edit: Custom Thread Forms [newthread_post_start]
In the big text-box with the php-code, scroll down to the bottom and find:

$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "<br /><br />
----------------------------------------<br />
$custom_message
----------------------------------------<br />";

replace it with:

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


----------------------------------------
$custom_message
----------------------------------------
";

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:

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

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

Is there a way to produce these tags individually like the custom profile fields works? I need to merge 2 fields wrapped in an if statment dependant on the first. I don't Need titles/questions before the fields either. It's so my members can add a proper html link without having to have HTML rights. I'll install if there is a way to do that.

Nice to see someone started a new one since the Extra Fields one went bye bye.

Easy, go to the relevant plugin, I mentioned 2 posts above urs.
then:
change:

$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "<br /><br />
----------------------------------------<br />
$custom_message
----------------------------------------<br />";

into:

$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = "<br />
----------------------------------------<br />
$custom_message
----------------------------------------<br /><br />" . $vbulletin->GPC['message'];
