Ok - this is my first submitted 'how to' and is the result of me wanting to add a couple of new fields to my new threads. A quick search on here showed me a couple of people asking the same but no conclusive answers (there were a couple of threads with 'typos') so here is my code as is. It works for me anyway!

1. To add the fields to the thread table in the database:

Go into admincp and down to the bottom. Select Execute SQL Query and then add your fields as follows:

Code:
ALTER TABLE table ADD (
         var VARCHAR(10) not null default ''
)
Where table is the name of your vb thread table (eg vb_thread) and var is the name of the field you are adding.

2. Add the fields to the newthread template in admincp / style manager

Find
Code:
<if condition="$show['misc_options']">
and above that add:

Code:
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<div>
<input type="text" class="bginput" size="10" name="var" value="" id="var" tabindex="1" /> $vbphrase[var_name]</div>
Again, var is the name of the field and the same as in the previous SQL Query. You can smarten this up further using the fieldset tags and creating a custom vbphrase for the $vbphrase[your_phrase] part :

Code:
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[your_phrase]</legend>

above code in here

</fieldset>
3. Go to admincp / add new plug in and add the following three plugins (give them the same name so you recognise them later):

newpost_process

Code:
if ($type == 'thread')
{
    $dataman->setr('var', $post['var']);
}
newthread_post_start

Code:
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array('var' => TYPE_STR));

$newpost['var'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['var'];
threadfpdata_start

Code:
$this->validfields['var'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO);
Once again, var is the name of the variable you have been using for your field name above.

I hope this helps - took me a while to get it sorted (and I did find help on here along the way) but this is the completed process.

[EDITED: corrected an inevitable type in the SQL query ]

I trying to make this work on Vbulletin 3.7.0 and to a degree it's working.

It will Store the new field entry in MySQL, however I am having trouble in the process I need to perform in order to display it in either Threadbit or Postbit. I believe I need to edit forumdisplay and/or showthread in order to this. Can anyone help me on this? I just don't know where to start. Any Help what so ever will be very appreciated.

Great guide, I have it working fine

But, can anyone help me edit it so that the fields can be edited once they have been entered and submitted? Thanks.
