I am writing a small MOD for myself, and I need to have another text field when I type in a new topic.

I am using the Category ID string to show/hide the field in post.asp and the SQL in the post_info.asp.

Now my problem is that it dosen't get to the databese, it is ignored, and I have no idea what I missed. Thus this post

I have the textarea in post.asp, named "Short"; nothing more was changed IIRC
I added the SQL for the table field in the appropriate place (Insert, for Topic).
Added errorr message, just because , not like I'll need it.

Now what did I miss?

Sure, as soon as I get home. It is bugging me so much I keep thinking about it on the bus, while visiting my parents ...

The files are up: www.krug-x.net/post.txt and www.krug-x.net/post_info.txt

The field is named T.T_ SHORT

Again, thanks for any help.

True, me - idiot. Just look for short in the post_info and Futura in post; those are the modifications I made.

It seems to works fine. I have a couple of ideas of what might be going wrong.

1. You haven't added it to the display in topic.asp so it won't show in your display.
2. You are looking in the wrong place in the database, you'll find the entry in the FORUM_TOPICS table in the T_SHORT column

I used 'beyond compare' to compare the original and your files then transferred only your bits over. Here are the differences

Nicely done. I was looking for some idea about how to do this myself but in the FORUM_REPLY area

Cheers,

Raavin ;)

PS

To confirm what I'm saying, enter some data then go back and edit. This will place the data you just entered in the post page ;) I've also changed some of the text and commented out the conditional display bits.
