Topic: Adding a Custom Post Field

Hello everyone!
I first would like to say that PunBB is one of the greatest forum software I have ever come across (which are quite a few wink).  The lack of huge useless features, as well as the simplicity is amazing. 

I am very new to PHP coding, and have a question I hope someone can help me out with.

I would like to duplicate the "subject" field, and call the new duplicated field "description".  I looked around post.php and searched both forums, but I could not find an answer. 

Could somebody please help me out with making a custom field?  I understand how to add it into the table with phpMyAdmin, but I am lost when it comes to the PHP part.

I really appreciate anybody's help, and thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Re: Adding a Custom Post Field

You'd have to change some queries, add some code similar to the subject handling code, and add a copy of the subject field. Enough to do tongue
