How to add a title above the 2nd box in the this discussion form like the 1st box where it has been written 'Write title' ? On which file I have to edit ? I hope that I'm not confusing you with this question.

@Maddox

Do you mean you want to change the word 'Category'?

If not, what do you actually want to do?

Maddox

@whu606 .. below the word 'category', I want to write 'body of the discussion'.. Hope that I have made you understand what I want

Srggamer

So you want this

Title:

Sub Title:

Content:

Please fix me up if Im wrong.

Maddox

@Srggamer .. Yes, like this -->

Title:

Content:

Srggamer

Oh so, you want this.

Text box and inside just faded text saying Body of Discussion?

Maddox

@Srggamer .. yes.

the proper way would be to:

• use the event before bodyinput to insert text. in your themehooks or create a plugin

============

• alternatively you could modify your theme views

copy
applications/vanilla/views/post/discussion.php

to

/themes/YOURTHEME/views/post/discussion.php

then modify   /themes/YOURTHEME/views/post/discussion.php

add for e.g. around line 30.

change 
$this->FireEvent('BeforeBodyInput');


to  
$this->FireEvent('BeforeBodyInput');    
        echo "   MyContents:";

I edited above message - in case you don't look at the thread again. I often update from the original.

This would be a pretty neat plugin!

@peregrine How much would You charge to make one?

peregrine

I don't make bids, I only take pledges and contributions.

I think This would be good plugin, though should not be focused on only.

Maddox

@peregrine . And how to add another field in the form ? Along with the 2 fields, I want to add another field in the form named 'conclusion'. So there will be 3 fields named 'Title', 'Description' and 'Conclusion'. How to add the 3rd one ?

peregrine

@Maddox

you would need to write yourself a plugin that adds a field in the database, change the view, etc. etc.

not for the faint-hearted, unless you have some coding skills.

@maddox do some research, we shall help you not do it for you
