What does this hack require?
Template Edits: 4
Products Imported: 1

5 Easy Steps
Step 1. Import the following product: product-extra_threadfields.xml
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:
Code:
        <!-- / subject field -->
Add below:
Code:
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">$extrathreadfields</table>
Enjoy the hack.

Great hack but I have a few questions.

1. When I use the threadadmin function I can also change the extrafields but this
does not work when I click on EDIT in the first thread. Can this be implemented?

2. Currently in postbit all extrafields are in one line. Can I somehow include a <br /> after each theadfield to have each field in a single row?

3. When I copy a thread from a source forum where the hack is enabled, can I somehow get the postbit extrafields in the target forum thread even if the hack is not active there?

Example: I have an application forum where I want to use this hack.
After the user filled out everything I make a copy to my internal forum so that the staff can talk about it. Now the copied thread does not contain the extrathreadfields anymore which means important info is lost.

4. How can I include a textfield and not only a single line?

5. Can you please add the extra fields to the preview function? Currently they're not displayed if someone clicks on preview

[Feature Request]
I am running a multilingual board so it would be nice to be able to enter Custom Fields based on the language. Some kind of Fieldsets.
Example:
Create a forum two times. Once in language A, other time in language B.
If guest, show default language, otherwise check users language and use the corresponding fieldset.

Kind regards

I think I'm having the same problem as Bashy and Dodge. If anyone else has solved this problem, can you please contact me and tell me what to do? Thank you!

My problem is that I can not get the extra fields to display when I view the post. Ideally I'd like to view the extra field in the forumdisplay section.

The fields are there and they're working. They just don't display for me when I go back to view the post.

Guys, has anyone figured out how to edit the search.php page so that it can include the extra fields in its default forum search?

thanks, installed

simple question,
everything is uploaded / installed / edited

however, when i click on any of the links in the 'extra thread field' options (add / manage), i am directed to a 'page not found.' could you advise? everything looks good besides that functionality issue. thanks
