Adding fields to the subject

Post by Pete_Tech »

I run an auto site and when people ask questions they always seem
to forget to tell me the Year make model and engine size.

It;s like people coming here and saying my board is broke
can you help me, only to find out their using another type of
bulletin board software and it's written in perl.

Is their a way to add extra fields like

  • subject
  • Make
  • Model
  • Year
  • Engine size
I am very new

I must say that this is a great board, I had it installed in 30 min
and it is the first time I used anything php.

Can anyone give me an idea on how to implement this, or would
this be a huge undertaking for a newbe

well the hardest part i think would be you would require fields like that on all new posts, unless you have a certain forum that requires those fields. That would probably require a different page.

I'm not a heavy dudy modder so i can't say for sure, but i think that would be a pretty involved mod.

I would like something like this too.

I need to add 2 extra fields to the New Topic/Submit a Reply box (and edit etc) for when my users post news stories on the messageboard

Ideally, when you come to post the source URL you could even have a drop-down list of news sources (bluesnews, ananova, bbc etc etc) and also have the ability to type in the full url of the story so people can go directly to it.

Can someone help me with this? I'm willing to pay $$ ! ;)
