Done: Saving custom inputs along with a post
Hi
By editing my theme I was able to extend the inputs with my custom inputs when creating a new post. Now I'd love to save the content of these inputs with the post.
I am submitting an array of inputs
(
and I guess it would be most effective to save it as a serialized string into a new row of the gdn_discussion-database.
Although I tried to get an overview of how class.postcontroller.php works I wasn't able to determine where and how the posted values are stored in the database. Could someone assist? ^_^
Kind regards.

Okay, I had a look into how the IP-Tracking-plugin works and there it was comprehensible very easily.

Hi... ääähh... Bitch....
Still there? I tried to examine the IP-Tracking-Plugin, but this is still to High for me... ;(
I would like to add an Event Date to my "New Discussions"... I accomplished to add the necessary Fields as shown in the Picture, but how can i SAVE the DATE to the DB? Also how to READ it back FROM the DB?
The Point of this would be to make a Calender with all Eventposts wich includes also a way to add yourself to the Event.
It would be nice fore some Help here, that could show me the basics and I would try to move from there....
Thanx in advance...
Cheers,

Take a look at that code https://github.com/R-J/EventCalendar I've started but never kept on working on that although I think an event calendar is a must have for a forum...
If you keep on working on it and have questions, don't hesitate do ask them here or sent me a message. Gerne auch in Deutsch, wenn's mal schnell gehen soll ;-)
The basic idea is to hook in to the post controller and display your new form items. Then you hook in to appropriate model (discussion in the case) and validate/save your information to the db.
If you look at the source of my Discussion Polls plugin, you can see an example of it.
