Custom fields in Topics

Post by sandpiper_flyer »

May I ask for some help on finding information about adding custom fields in topics?
A pointer to a MOD that already does something like it would be good enough... I've looked but haven't found anything (yet).


Thanks

Do you mean Custom Profile Fields? Or more columns when displaying the topics?

And is there anything you want in particular?

My apology, I think I should have made this post in the [3.0.x] MOD Writers Discussion forum :roll:

Yes I want to add a couple of extra dedicated fields to the first post in a topic.
For example;
Name
Title
Links
Password
Preview

So I'm looking for the basic idea of the best way to do this. If there's a MOD already that does something similar then I can look at that code by example.

What I don't understand yet is the method for relating the extra table info with the existing topic_id.

Yes this would require a MOD, I'm not sure if you want to write it yourself or find an existing MOD. I'm not aware of any MODs that do this but that doesn't mean anything.

Anyway, best of luck. :)

I started a new topic in the right place now so you can delete this one
