 This will add an extra field when making a new topic in a designated forum. The info will be added to the end of the post.


Code: HTML
 
<script>
//<![CDATA[
/* Extra field on topic display by Viral of
http://www.moregfx.com/index.php
http://www.zetaresources.com
*/
forumnumber=9936;
extrafieldname="Source";
errormsg="Unfortunately, you did not fill out the "+extrafieldname+" field!";
if(location.href.match(forumnumber)){
$(function(){
$("tr:contains('Topic Tags')").before("<tr><td class='c_desc'>"+extrafieldname+":</td><td><input type='text' autocomplete='off' tabindex='2' value='' name='source' size='40' id='source'/></td></tr>");
});
buttons=document.getElementsByTagName('button');
for(i=0;i<buttons.length;i++){
if(buttons[i].name=="post_submit"){
buttons[i].onclick=function(){
a=document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0];
source=document.getElementById('source');
if(source.value.length<=0){alert(errormsg);return false;} else {
a.value+="\nSource: [i]"+source.value+"[/i]";
}}}}}
//]]>
</script>


Edit:
forumnumber=number of forum here;
extrafieldname="Name of the xtra field";
errormsg="If the field is not filled out, this will pop up!";

Have fun.

 Under Topic Description.

Anything, whatever is inputted in the input box will appear at the end of the post. If you don't input anything, it will not post and you will be alerted an error message. Not many people will use this, but Rovvrem asked for it, and I thought I would post it incase anyone else needed it as well.

 Viral please read Stephen's post here and use proper syntax.

With Javascripts for example, use proper syntax.


Zetaboards doesn't contain the following tags for the sake of it:

 Viral.

Big thanks for this.

Can I be cheeky and ask a few more favours :)

1/ Is it possible / How can I add more than one extra field.
2/ What would need to be edited so the extra text would be entered in the message body in the format in the code box below.

Code:
 
Source: [URL=http://www.Extrafield1.co.uk]ExtraField2.[/URL]


3/ Can I add an extra line break before the added text.


For anybody that is unsure of what this is for, my request is HERE.


For a preview, visit the Test board HERE. (The main board has not been Zeta'd yet :(
Go to the "Local News" section. (I have left this open to Guests.
When you create a "New Topic" you will see a new field (Source URL) where you type in the Topic Title.
what's entered in this field will be added to the end of the message.

 No problem Rovvrem, what you are asking for is just a few minor edits. I am currently working on some other codes at the moment, once finished I will re-do this for you.

Edit, Nicola:

I have no use for CDATA in the code as nothing there should not be XML parsed.
