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.

Funny enough, that wasn't discovered until recently. Goes to show how many people use ie these days

Was getting the same issue for search in the premium version but that's fixed, need to address required fields and path up the light as well asap.

Shoot me over a pm or email via the premium support website (http://www.giologist.com/vb) and we'll work on troubleshooting. Chances are there's a conflicting modification or customization.

good evening

I have a problem with the id of the forum!

in the part of Extra Threadfields in pca / Forum to include this in

http://www.ptp-images.com/img/wchrd84c3.jpg

is limited to 70 id, I was 470 a how to please extend the list of id?

merci

zmickzalois3 · #17 12-03-2008, 09:01 PM

it's good I have found

in fact we must change the varchar in the base to give

So those who m'interresse and forum / vachar (200) <= I've amended varchar (480)

which gives an example of the change in the sql

Code:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vb5z1_thread_fields_admin;
CREATE TABLE `vb5z1_thread_fields_admin` (
  `title` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `fieldid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `description` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
  `forums` varchar(480) NOT NULL default '',
  `type` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',  
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

I have a good add much more to the varchar accept my 480 class

Wholesale settle a 480 as it accounted for more than 148 id max, (must add,)

So roughly 480 + 478 = 958 So I had a 1000 change to be on

giving

`forums` varchar(1000) NOT NULL default '',

Q. How do i get extra fields to show in the "edit post" page?
A. This is only available in the premium version.

Do you mean I can't edit the extra fields after a thread is started?

movslow · #19 12-05-2008, 05:19 PM

Did all 4 template edits, uploaded said files and imported product. No dice.

Changed newthread template as per the instructions if another mod is possibly interferring and still not showing.

jlew24asu · #20 12-05-2008, 05:53 PM

can this be used for one specific forum as opposed to all?

No, you can edit everytime the extra fields in posts, but not with the edit button. You must edit the Thread in Thread Options.

Works great for me.

You must set every Forum ID indicate for all extra fields do you create.
