Working Under: 6.2 & 6.3

Files Modified: addpost.php, newpost.tmpl, newreply.tmpl, addpost_preview.tmpl

New Files: none

Database Modifications: None

Notes: I think this will work fine under earlier versions if you skip adding the "get_input" function.

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...
So he wanted a line for "who, what, where, when" that was required.

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.

Main thing is to give the search engine a bit more to key off of.

OK - updated it to 1.1.

Version 1.1 only requires the field if it's a new post. It's optional in replies.
