You'll need to edit the plugin title "Custom Thread Forms [newthread_form_start]".
Here is the code for the text area

PHP Code:

$custom_form .= "<tr><td nowrap='nowrap'><label for='".$form['title']."'> ".$form['title']."$required <br /><textarea cols='70' rows='12' name='custom_$form[custom_formid]' ></textarea></label></td></tr>";

Never mind, found it, you have to edit the XML which you import into admincp.

[thetradingforum]

Yeah found it literally seconds after posting!

I'm getting this error when posting in a section which doesn't require custom fields:

Please go back and fill out all required custom fields.

I've disabled the mod until I find a fix - Help!

[tschai]

Me too...

Ik works good: too good.
It keeps saying I should fill out the required custom fields, also in the thread's which have none.

Please fix this asap, because othewise it's a very cool and usefull mod...

This looks like an ideal solution to the forms modification.

Currently, I'm using the Forms hack, but it's pretty intensive to set-up - especially if you're going to be using it on multiple areas of the forum.

This looks like it would be much easier!

Has anyone compared the two yet? Any results or comments?

i keep getting the same error please post in all required fields any thoughts on how to fix it.

RedGTiVR6, did you get an answer to this comparison? I am curious on using this or the Forms hack...which does look very involved.

[RedGTiVR6]

Nope - no answer that I know of....

This is so Awesome!!! Thank you so very very much...

This works better than anything else I have tried (especially the Forms Hack mentioned above, which seemed to cause me more and more problems everytime I changed any of the fields...)

This mod is sooooooooo easy to use, works perfectly (I'm using v 3.6.7 PL1), I love how easy it is to make tons of fields and then assign each one to an individual forum, a group of forums, none of the forums, or even all of the forums.

It allowed me to, so easily, create a group of drop down select boxes in my "On Call" forum to allow those needed to create an updated and ever changing on call list of the people who will be on call each week...

AND...

It allowed me to create another group of drop down select boxes to allow those in need to post a super quick "Daily Events/Check List"...

OMG!! seriously... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
