5 Easy Steps

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.

Search the threadfields you create. Unfortunately I don't think it works with vb 3.6.4. I'm having a searchid problem with the hack. If you search with just the threadfields, the searchid stays the same and you get the same search results over and over again.

I see somebody has to at least take this job

1) Can i take a script and have someone improve it? Sure, you just cannot resell any of the scripts.

I was just brainstorming this exact mod today.

Too bad the coder vanished.

Make sure you have uploaded the admin php file to the right folder.

Good news folks! Spoke to gio~logist tonite and it looks as though he's on the comeback trail. He's sold his classifieds code and is concentrating on the extra threadfields code along with new projects.

If you have purchased his extra threadfields code and have a question feel free to send him an email (listed on site resort). Also if you have any work that needs to be done, he's taking on custom jobs to help fund and get his site off the ground again.

Hopefully we'll be seeing him around soon and hopefully site resort will be opened again. This is an amazing and powerful hack (especially when searchable!)

Good news!

Yes, i am back. Siteresort is opened as well, now offering SR Extra Threadfields again (which works with 3.6.x at the moment). Once new ideas come rolling in, more scripts will be offered.

Also, i apologize for my long disappearance. Family issues/personal matters sometimes get to the point where you can't control things like this, i do apologize. I noticed some people think that my disappearance was a "scam"? If only it was, at least i would have left happily. For the people who i was forced to leave without finishing works, refunds were provided and i do apologize. Lee Dodd and Quartebore being these people, i have refunded their money and done what's needed. Hopefully something like this won't happen again, as it effected more people than just me. However, like i said.. there are some things you simply cannot control. If anyone understood exactly what was going on, half of these posts would not have been made accusing me of such preposterous things.

I noticed a few people asking if the fields are searchable.
Answer: They are in the premium version
