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 love this hack, its brilliant

[Feature Request]

What I want to do though is have certain forums show the extra thread fields in forumdisplay and in other forums, still use other custom thread fields but not show them in forumdisplay.

Would it be possible to add in a future version the ability to customise which forums show the thread fields on forumdisplay, perhaps on the create/edit forum page add a button 'show extra threadfields' [yes]o [no]o

This would allow much better customisation and allow me to use this hack in forums which have many custom threadfields (can make the forumdisplay very cluttered).

One Questian, is it possible to parse a text variable into a link ???

gio~logist,

Sweet add-on - I've clicked INSTALL!

One question though, I've noticed that the only way the extra fields show when editing is when I click on "Thread Tools" > Edit Thread.

However if I click on the edit button in the post itself it doesn't show these options - how might I fix this?

You may notice this hack is called "Extra Threadfields" not
"Extra Postfields", and in my opinion, this is the best way to handle this.
