Mod Name: Post Details 1.1 <br /> <br />Description: This adds an extra required field below the subject in every post. What is entered will appear above the body of the post. <br />  Version 1.1 only requires the input in New Posts... and the field is optional in replies. <br /> <br />Author: JoshPet of www.joshuapettit.com <br />       For discussion and bug reports go to www.threadsdev.com <br /> <br />Credits: Commissioned by ScottCargill <br /> <br />Date: 3/15/03 <br /> <br />Working Under: 6.2 & 6.3 <br /> <br />Files Modified: addpost.php, newpost.tmpl, newreply.tmpl, addpost_preview.tmpl <br /> <br />New Files: none <br /> <br />Database Modifications: None <br /> <br />Notes: I think this will work fine under earlier versions if you skip adding the "get_input" function. <br />

Thanks for this. Don't know what I would use it for though, do you have an example or some tips on what to use it for?

I think Scott's wife runs a site where they post pictures of decorated cakes etc...<br />So he wanted a line for "who, what, where, when" that was required. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We're hopeing that this will maximize the search capabilities of the forum. As it is now people will post a quick message like "nice football cake I made." which in itself is nice if you do a search on football, but not real helpfull if you're search is for how it was made, or for what occassion.<br /><br />Main thing is to give the search engine a bit more to key off of.<br /><br />

OK - updated it to 1.1.<br /><br />Version 1.1 only requires the field if it's a new post. It's optional in replies. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re uploaded to fix an error in my instructions.
