Step 2. Upload the files in the upload folder.
Step 3. Do the edits located below
Step 4. Edit the newly added options in admincp as you please
Step 5. Enjoy the hack.

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.

Hi Gio~logist, in newthread template, I want to use the if condition to display a certain custom field like

<if condition="$thread[field2]"> $thread[field2]</if>

but nothing show up, I wonder what's the right systax to display custom fields? I want to do it for 4 templates we hav to modify in the instructions as well.

One more thing, how do make the radio buton & multiple checked box display BEFORE the value? Like
[x] A
[ ] B
[ ] C

Instead of
A [x]
B [ ]
C [ ]
?

Thanks Gio~logist for a great hack!

I do not understand what you want to do in the first part.

For the second part, you'd have to edit the plugin.

Gio~logist, what I wanted was to display it manually without using $extrathreadfields in newthread template just like how you show it in FAQ how to put it in postbit & showthread template.

Thanks,
CK

You want to insert the fileds in the newthread template manually? All that can be controlled in the admincp. You can control order and everything. What is it that you'd like to change?

ConKien · #**248** 03-23-2006, 01:29 AM

Thanks for a fast respond.

Yes, I want to insert the fields in the newthread template manually. I actually create another hardcode template to organize the fields, make it look different than the original "New Thread". I'm planing a support forum and use your hack to make a question form for members to submit!

Thanks,
CK

I don't allow users to be able to edit their threads, just thier posts, can this still work?

Just like the title of the thread, these fields can only be edited via edit thread. Perhaps i will see if i can somehow get it to show in edit post for the premium version.

tommyxv · #**251** 03-23-2006, 06:30 PM

That would be cool. The only way I see to let uses edit their threads is to allow then to delete their own threads via the user-group permissions.
