**Before Making An Add on **
Please consult with me before making an add on to this hack. As it is my work and such, the add ons that you are trying to make for it may be in the next release and/or premium version.

What does this do?
This hack allows you to add more fields to your threads besides just the title and message. This is extremely usefull in order to specify certain things in a thread in a way that people are more aware of it and such. There are several types of fields you can add and several features for the hack.

Template Edits: 4
Products Imported: 1

5 Easy Steps
Step 1. Import the following product: product-extra_threadfields.xml
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:

        <!-- / subject field -->

Add below:

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">$extrathreadfields</table>

Enjoy the hack.

i have been looking in to it and turning off the hide hack fixed the error with this hack.

more to the point its this plugin that breaks your hack from the hide hack:
Hook Location : forumdisplay_query

PHP Code:

$hook_query_fields = ',post.pagetext'; 


could someone please help me to make both work with each other?

Try putting this:

PHP Code:

$hook_query_fields .= ',post.pagetext';

<font face="&quot">Ugghh,
I had this installed and loved it.
Then I rebuilt my forums, completely uploaded all new vB files, created a new db and imported all of my posts.
The Extra Threadfields were gone.
I still have the "old" database info.
How can I get these back? I know it will likely be manual, that's OK, I just want the info back.
I found the vb_thread_fields_admin table, but this is just the admin part. Where is the data?

Thanks, and oh yeah, this is a terrific mod.</font>

Glad you like it! Well, if you want all of the information for individual threads to be brought back, that would require restoring the thread table. If you just want the fields, you can just restore the vb_thread_fields_admin table.

[dilbert]

Wow, now that was a fast response!
Where in the thread table is the data? I didn't see it in the "old" table from my site.

[dilbert]

Nevermind, I was looking in the post table not the thread table.

This will take a while to restore, I have a few hundred posts using this mod.
Oh well, like I said, terrific mod, I appreciate the work you did.

As for the premium version. It is already done i believe. I am just waiting to finish the SR Classifieds premium version so that they can both be released at the same time.

When it's ready?

[Michael Hyatt]

This looks like just what the doctor ordered!

However, can I make the fields appear in the first message and not the replies? (Like this forum)
