Adding additional fields on New Thread

[CommuneZoom]

What PHP file specifically submits the data through a query to create a new thread? I am trying to add 2 additional fields when creating a new thread, but cannot seem to locate the query that adds the data from a typical new thread to the database.

If anyone could please assist with this, I'd appreciate it very much. I have been scanning through files all night .

It is built using the thread datamanagers.

The best way to handle it would be:

• add fields to the newthread template
• clean the variables in newthread_post_start ($vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc()
• add fields to database using another query in newpost_complete eg

PHP Code:

if($type == 'thread')
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("DO YOUR QUERY HERE"); # $threadinfo['threadid'] for the new threadid.
} 


Or it could very well be possible by modifying the datamanagers, but I'm not that far into the system yet

- Alter table thread to add your fields
- Adjust Template newthread
- Creae a Plugin for threadpfdata_start to add the fields to its validfields
- Create a Plugin for newthread_post_start to set the fields in $post to the cleaned form data
- Create a Plugin for newpost_process to set the values from $post to the Datamanager

This method does not cause additional queries

Can that method be used to add fields in other tables?

The method I mentioned above actually modifies a different table, because im storing certain information outside of that table.

No. But as I understood the initial request, he wants to add data to the thread table.

Sorry, I asked that question for myself Oh well, Im happy with my method for a secondary table then

I'm having this same trouble trying to find the code for posting a thread to the thread table. I too want to populate some additional fields in the table. Surely there must be some query somewhere with 'INSERT' within it? Does anyone know where to find it?
