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 don't know if the previous two folks were having the same issue as me, but after install I had no options until I edited in Vbull Options.

You have to then go to your VBulletin Options. Scroll all the way down in the list and it will be there. You can edit the options available at that time. It's working for me in 3.6.5

But that's just my experience, anyhow.

I dont need it, so i wont use it. But it a very good idea.

The create table in the product file is bad: wants to be I would think.

 `forumid` mediumint(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',

instead of:

 `forumid` mediumint(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '',

maybe more a mysql 5 requirement so those on mysql 4 wont suffer the error DSdad suffered ?

[wolfe]

getting this error in a forum where i dont want the custom fields to show up.

Please go back and fill out all required custom fields.

my members cant post.

I have fixed a few things.

When a field is required it won't give you an error even though you have typed in it.
The fieldset along with the field(s) will only appear on forums that are supposed to have them.
I properly clean the data from the custom fields.

Great mod.

Mine works.. however I do have a question. Although I've setup some fields to display in certain forums, and that is working well.. in other forums where I have set no fields at all, i still get the "custom fields" box which is blank. It shows up on all forums, simply putting fields into it where they exist.

is there anyway to make it disappear in the other forums that aren't using it?

[harmor19]

They shouldn't show up on forums that have no fields.
I'll look into it more.
