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.

gio, as soon as the "make field required" option is available, I'll click 'install'.

photoboy · #**123** 03-06-2006, 06:37 PM

would it be possible to pass the information gathered by extra fields to the message itself so it could be searchable?

sportstar · #**124** 03-07-2006, 09:11 AM

this is a stupid question but how do i import the product?
i have tried Plugin System >> Manage Products >> Add/Import Product but I get a MySQL error. I am using 3.5.3 is this the reason?

RyanC · #**125** 03-07-2006, 06:07 PM

I am thinking about installing this hack, but had a question:

In your screen shots and on the thread view page, you show the extra fields in the "header" of the message. Is there anyway to put this stuff in the content area of the message?

photoboy · #**126** 03-08-2006, 06:09 AM

RyanC is basically asking the same thing as me, although I don't know whether it's for the same reasons.... it would be amazing to have the extra fields data show up in the content area and thus be searchable.....gio come back!

photoboy · #**127** 03-08-2006, 06:18 AM

how about this one: would/could/should it be possible to have the extra form fields on a reply as well a new post?

By the way, I have this plugin installed (thank you) and it's so clearly something which vBulletin should have as a default feature.

sportstar · #**128** 03-08-2006, 11:54 AM

ok i have upgraded to 3.5.4 but i still get this error when trying to import the product:

i cant understand what I am doing wrong and I get this error...any suggestions?

DarkWarriorXII · #**129** 03-08-2006, 07:38 PM

I have this installed on my forum. I installed it with the purpose of having users check a box before posting a thread in our articles forum agreeing that they wrote the article. At first I added it as a checkbox, but when I did a few test posts, I would go to edit the thread (and the post), and it would be unchecked on both. So I added the same thing as a radio button. Again, when I went to edit the thread it wouldn't be selected, even if I selected it when I submitted the post. What's wrong here?

Any advice?

this would be great, I could eliminate 2 hacks with just this one if it worked this way, I currently have thread prfix hack and prepopulated text hack working kind of lack that

on that note, does anyone know if this would/could interfere with the Thread Prefixes hack
