I need how-to guide for Extra Post Fields similar to extra thread fields written in this article.

Thanks

How would you use $value = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', "additionField", TYPE_STR); to get both the value and text from a dropdown list?

Never mind. Figured it out.

Glad I found this article. Too bad I have yet to figure out what I'm trying to do. Hopefully someone here can help.

I'm trying to add a field in the template "calendar_edit" for people to add an image url to calendar events. I got the field visible when creating an event by using the following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

What I'm struggling with is the next step. So you are saying I have to create a plugin for the data to be saved in order to use it later? Because as it is, it is not saving the data I place in that field.

Eventually, I want to place this image in a sideblock for upcoming events but it's not saving the field entered data.

Here is the product I have edited.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

What do I use as the hookname? I don't think its the same as "newthread_post_start".

Does everything else look right? Do I need this for what I'm trying to accomplish?:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And here is my Forum Block:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I placed {vb:raw imgurl} in the image source just to see if it worked. Nope, it didn't.

How do i save it as separate column in post or thread table instead of modifying post message? It could be much more useful i think.

Thanks for the tutorial. Can this be expand to create an additional "prefix" field?

1st prefix ==> [laptop] my thread title - free shipping <= additional prefix

Thanks

Looked at the thread and I must say its been very informative. Thanks for writing this up.

For my need I have added a custom field called "customID" into thread and post table and my objective is to write this field to thread and post table for new threads.

My understanding is this that when we add new thread, logic writes one record in thread table and also in post table.

Any insight regarding that would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Could you expand a little bit on this article by adding storing those variable to DB and retrieve them for different template?

thanks

It doesnt work for me. What i want is literally:





So i dont know really what i gotta do. In postbit before $post[message] as picture above code is:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="$picture" />
</td>

<td></td>
...
</tr>
</table>



I dont want to add it to the extra database table so it must come with $custom_message; but when it comes here how can i seperate picture url, how can i write table code above..

Thanks for your reply.
