[Something descriptive here will yield more responses]

[BamaStangGuy]

I would like to have this [Something descriptive here will yield more responses] added on newthread.php inside the Title: tag like they have over at Digital Point forums. How do I go about doing this

[Iain M]

I tested this on 3.6 Beta 1 cos that's what i'm running on my localhost, but it should work on 3.5.x

Admic CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> New Posting Templates -> newthread

FIND:

			<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>

REPLACE WITH:

 			<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="[Something descriptive here will yield more responses]" onfocus="if(this.value=='[Something descriptive here will yield more responses]')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='[Something descriptive here will yield more responses]';" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>

Hi, I just tried this and nothing seems to show...
I take it this is meant to show when you hover over the text input for the subject?

[Iain M]

when you click new thread '[Something descriptive here will yield more responses]' will be in the Title box automatically, and when you click to enter your own title it will vannish, also if you click out of the title box without entering a title '[Something descriptive here will yield more responses]' will appear again.

make sure you copy all of the code, I just tried it on my vB 3.5.4 board and it worked fine...
