- Apply the changes mentioned in this how-to at your own risk.
- You must have a basic understanding of php, html and vbulletin.
- This is a how-to for vb4.1, and may not work on previous versions.

Everywhere you see FIELDNAME, replace it with your field name (must not contain spaces).

1.
Create a new field in the cms_node table.

2.
If you run vB 4.1.9 or lower , open packages\vbcms\item\content.php and find:

PHP Code:


			
return $pub_view;

Add above it:

PHP Code:


			
$getFIELDNAME = vB::$vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT FIELDNAME FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_node WHERE nodeid = " . $this->nodeid);

$pub_view->FIELDNAME = $getFIELDNAME['FIELDNAME'];

If you run 4.1.10+, you can just create a new plugin with the above code, the hook is vbcms_content_publish_editor.

3.
Go to the template vbcms_edit_publisher.
At the bottom of the template, before these lines:

HTML Code:

</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>

Add the following lines of code:

HTML Code:

	<div class="blockrow" >
		<label class="thirdleft">FIELD TITLE</label>
		<div class="twothirdsright"><input type="text" size="30" value="{vb:raw FIELDNAME}" name="FIELDNAME" tabindex="1" class="textbox fullwidth" /></div>
	</div>

4.
Go to your ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Add New Plugin.
Hook Location: vbcms_article_save_start.
PHP Code:

PHP Code:


			
vB::$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(

    'FIELDNAME' => TYPE_STR

));



vB::$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_node SET FIELDNAME = '" . vB::$vbulletin->db->escape_string(vB::$vbulletin->GPC['FIELDNAME']) . "' WHERE nodeid = " . $this->content->getNodeId());

The following steps have been written by Lynne, thank you

5. To get the field to spit out, you must add it to the vbcms_content_article_page somewhere (this is rough, you'll have to add your own class/styling).

HTML Code:

<div>Custom Field:{vb:raw FIELDNAME}</div>

6. Then, open vbcms/item/content/article.php and add your field to the end of the protected $content_properties array.

PHP Code:


			
'imageheight', 'previewvideo', 'FIELDNAME'

7. In that same file, add this line with the other similar lines:

PHP Code:


			
protected $FIELDNAME;

8. Again, in the same file, add this with the other similar functions:

PHP Code:


			
    public function getFIELDNAME()

    {

        $this->Load(self::INFO_CONTENT);

        return $this->FIELDNAME;

    }

9. Then add another plugin using hook_location "vbcms_article_populate_start":

PHP Code:


			
$view->FIELDNAME = $this->content->getFIELDNAME();

I think I got that all correct.

That's it, you're done.

I used this steps before (vb4.2.0) and it works like a charm, but today when I want to reused in newer version (4.2.1) it doesn't work.
I have problem in update to database process, it didn't save anything in database, any hints?

So, once you've successfully gotten the fields to populate in the database, what variable or phrase do you use to call them into play?? I have myfield1 but when I try to use {vb:raw myfield1} it remains blank.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
