One question:
how do I get the text inserted to my new field (e.g. nowplaying) into the searchindex? If I'm now searching for that inputs, it's not working. Would be great to get a help;

Ok, again:

I changed the nice hack for my board. The input will now be added to the title of the thread. But two things I can`t fix:

1.) The input only appears on showthread.php, not at forumdsplay.php, where I like to get it too!

2.) The input isn't accessable for the search. How is that to be changed?

Any ideas?

Best regards,

adusei

Why would you want to show it on the forumdisplay.php page?

Also what is the reason for searching this? I can do both of them but it will take time. I'd just like to know the reason why you would need these features as I don't really see them as much of a use.

Hi Dan,
thx for your reply!
Of course, it sems to be somehow senseless, but I ty to explain.

I need more than the one input in the editor, because I want (somehow) "force" the user to give special information. And for those who are not so used to www, PC & Co. it is more easy, when there appears this input-fields.
The board - it's not ready yet - will be for cars and spareparts; so it will be fine, if I get the users to input:

e.g. i.)brand of car / ii.)type / iii.)year /iv.) price ... and so on--------> to let it appear in the threads SUBJECT or TITLE ROW above the message.

The "Nowplayig-Hack" helped me to change my db, to insert the additional fields etc. I must say that I'm an absolute beginner and that this hack took me a lot of steps forward - although I don't need, what the hack is for originally! So I appreciate the hack and the work the author did!!!

Everything is working with it - but only my "connected" thread-title appears, when showthread.php is opened - I want it to be seen also, when forumdisplay.php is opened.

And being searchable should this "puzzled" title too - I gess now it is clear why.

I hope now it is understandable, what I mean.

Maybe through this it can be possible to add to the "Nowplaying-Hack" something like a "Boost-Your-editor-Hack"...?

Thanks for your attention,
best regards from

adusei

btw: sorry for my poor English...! :disappointed:

Just a note to everyone this does work on RC4

[Fi_InCogNiTo]

I changed a lil code in the postbit to make the posters name appear. I'll attach a screen shot.

Find:

<legend>Now Playing</legend>

Replace with:

<legend>$post[musername] is Now Playing</legend>

Nuthin big. I just think it looks nice =D
Great hack, my users will love it.

when I post a reply it doesnt show...

Oopsie forgot I was using the legacy postbit.

Is there anyway to show the top now playing poster on forumhome?
