New Posting Features - Custom Thread Fields

What you can do with this hack is add multiple fields when someone creates a new thread. You can specify what fields can go in which forums.

I haven't edited it. It is the same one you download for the mod.

Is it possible to have fields insert themselves into the title of the thread? For example, I want users to have to specify a category from a drop-down box. Can it insert this into the title of the thread, i.e. so it appears on the forumdisplay as:

[CATEGORY] Post title

???

I love this hack... but so far I can only get custom feilds to show up in the new thread I can't get the actual feilds to show up. I've been through the directions 3 times, I'm running 3.6.8 and I've edited the newthread template.

any other ideas. I've also read this entire post history all 12 pages. WOW

I think this mod is so desireable it needs it's own developement forum.

Anyway if anyone can help please do so

neer mind I deleted the custom feilds, re-installed the product and it now works, actually it works too well I have two sets of the same feild. LOL I need to go and remove my edits to the newthreds template. Thanks again!

Quick question is there anyway to get radio button to be multiple select? It seems like this should be an easy customization? or to have to radio options one multiple on single select.

One bug that I've just noticed.

If you have a long question in the thread field manager, it doesn't warp and hold width according to the forum width. It will stretch outside of the boundaries offered by the forum.

Is there a way to fix this eles where bychance?

I'd like to know this as well...for instance, I'm trying to use this for bug reporting. i'd like to have two fields auto populate the thread title: Issue Description and Version...posted like this:

Issue Description - Version

I can do this with the form hack I'm using, but if I can do this with this hack it might just replace that hack.

Also, as a nice added feature, it would be cool if you could display a larger text box for longer, more detailed fields. Though I realize this might be outside of the scope of this mod, it's a thought I thought I would throw out there.

hi does anyone know how to edit this so the info shows at $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] and not with the post itself?
