It is not an "easy" task.

I REALLY dont know what you are talking about. I dont have much knowledge about php, mysql and vb coding.

Can you give more details- what type of text? Is it custom for each user? Is it a message you are giving that everyone will see?

What I want to do is very simple as described in above posts. Simply want to add another text field below the "Title" textbox. AND the text entered in this field should be able to shown in potbit template like we can show text of "Title" field in postbit by just entering "$post['title']" in postbit.

We will have to save text for each thread as each thread title text is being saved and shown later. Saving it as a profile field doesn't seems to be a correct way and I dont think this would work.

This is not as easy as you seem to think it will be. You will need to:
- add a new field to the thread table
- add a new field to the post table (optional?)
- modify the save post function to save this new field when a new thread or post are made
- modify the get threads query to get this new post title also
- modify any display templates (or the code) to display this new post title if that language is selected
- modify search to allow for searching of this field (optional)

This isn't some modification anybody is likely to write for you unless they have need of it themselves and want to code it in such a way to share. It's much more involved than just adding some new text area to your new thread page.

Sorry I didn't see there was a thread above your question when I first followed your link.

Basically what Lynne says, this isn't easy.

There is a mod for VB 3.8 that does something similar:

But it will not work with 4.x.

Oh! It's almost same. What I want can be almost done by this hack. There are many hacks of vb3 which are working in vb4 too. I will try this one. Thanks BirdOPrey!!

I know for a fact that hack won't work on VB4, but it's an excellent start if you or someone you find is willing to attempt changing it to your needs.
