additional image fields for some categories

[ruudvroon]

I want to add an additional image field. I saw I could do that in db_field_definitions.php, but I want the field only in a couple of categories. How can i do that?

sorry, u want to WHAT to do to an additional field? poor additional field...lol sorry couldnt help myself...nice typo!

Anyway, u can not use db_field_definitions.php for new fields for categories, its only for images and members tables.
if u need additional field for categories table, u'll need do lots of changes manualy in the code.

I want to add an extra image field, but I want it only to show up in one category (+ subcats), is that possible?

Example:
I have the cat: school and if people want to upload a file I want the additional fields: Class and Period.

I've edited my first post

then u'll need edit member.php
something like this:
find:

Code: [Select]

    "cat_id" => $cat_id,Insert below:

Code: [Select]

    "show_extra" => ($cat_id == 104) ? 1 : "", (replace 104 with the category ID u want)

Then in member_uploadform.html template insert your new input fields (for your additional fields) between {if show_extra} and {endif show_extra} tags.

It worked, but is it also possible to show these extra fields in the details page?
