Shorty, is there a reason that the OP says V2.0.5 but the Library says V0.0.1? Also the OP link is broken so I have to use the Library version regardless. I just wanna make sure I'm using the most up to date version is all ^^

My purpose for posting was to see if it would be possible to make the appearance customizable for the actual result, how it shows up in the post after it's made. Things like font size, family, color, and text alignment would be great but, even better, if I could format where it shows up in the post, such as at the bottom instead of the top, etc. If it's not possible, oh well, but I figured I'd ask. =3

Also would there be a way to make it mandatory to fill out certain fields in order to post? It'd be an option in the plugin settings to make it optional or mandatory for the user, ideally. Likewise, a way to isolate that by group and by board, so certain fields are only required for certain groups and certain boards. And finally, if it's possible to make it so you can have certain fields only possible for certain groups, like how you have it per board right now but with group as well.

Aaand finally, is there any way to allow a normal post to be made still? So they are making a normal post but the fields added onto it.

I lied, not finally, is it possible to format the way the descriptions look in the posting page, such as font size and family, etc., aaand real-honest finally this time, is there a way to make a character count maximum?

That's a lot of requests so I'ma shut up now. x.x' I am so sorry, this plugin is the perfect concept for what I need basics-wise but would need most if not all of those features to truly work for my roleplay's purpose, so I thought might as well rip off the bandaid and do it all at once, plus it's good to find out now if this won't work for me =3 I'm so sorry

The library version is the most up to date. I just didn't change the version numbers of the plugin. Sorry.

Is the only customization you are wanting to do is just CSS?

I've tried to make it so that some fields are required but I couldn't make it work. I can try some more but I can't make any promises. A way to make each field only usable by certain groups or boards, not with the current setup, but I can rework how the settings are input to make this possible. Again I can't make any promises on making it required by only certain groups or boards. I'll try and work something up and let you know.

As far as the normal post goes you can just add a textarea and they can do the rest of the post there can't they?

Formatting how the descriptions look, do you just mean CSS? For the character count, not with the current setup but if I rework how the settings are input then yeah.

Ah no problem, just wanted to make sure. Thank you!

Yes, I just want the CSS customizable, if possible.

If you can't make certain fields required, that's alright. I think I can make do without that one, it's not one of the more crucial aspects.

The only usable by certain groups and certain boards is crucial so I'll wait to see if you can work that out, if not that is entirely fine and I understand, reworking a plugin must suck and I hate even asking you to. x.x'

Yeah, I could do that, though missing Chris's word count might make that improbable for the site since we rely heavily on it... hmm. I did notice that it doesn't appear to be taking my height in the plugin settings, though, which I forgot to report, I'm assuming that's a glitch? And would other plugins work in it, like if I used the vDice plugin or presto or tabbed table code, would those still function alright?

Yes, the CSS, if possible. =)

Character count isn't crucial so that's not a big deal if you can't or don't want to.

Just updating you on what I've done thus far.

This part is tricky. I would have to make an entire new UI part and whole lot of extra code would need to go into it. So I'm not going to do this for now. I've had people want to be able to customize the entire layout of the post and while it's something I'd like to do, it'll take a lot of time that I don't have currently because of school. So sorry about this part.

I've figured a way to make certain parts required and I'm an idiot for not thinking of it before. I haven't added in require based on group although it won't be too difficult. I'll try and add that in today. Required by board isn't something I'm going to add. If you want just make separate forms for each board and make one required and the other not required. I have done it so that there are only certain fields that certain groups can see.

I've added CSS classes to most things so you can use your own CSS to customize the name column, input column, description column, the whole table, whole rows, etc. So thats there. And I have the character count maximum.

I'll have to test these other plugins. So if you can give the link to them. I'll install and test if they work. And will get back to you.

Thank you so much, Shorty! Oh I can't thank you enough! Don't worry about the ones you can't do, it's no problem. =)

The plugins actually wouldn't be a problem if you would perhaps be able to make it an option for "First Post." Right now you have new thread, new post, and both. Would it be possible to make a "first post" option which would mean your first post in that thread is the only one it'd show up for, whether it's your first post responding to another's thread or your post where you make the thread, and the later posts wouldn't be affected?

I don't think think there's a way to tell if you have already posted in the thread or not. I can ask though.

Thank you =)

₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪ download from the first post. Let me know if it has everything you need.

The classes you'll need are:

.custom_input_field - this is for the fields (i.e. the input, textarea, and select)
.name_column - this is the name column
.input_column - this is the input column
.description_column - this is the description column
.template_tr - this is the table rows
.custom_template_table - this is the table itself.
.required_custom_field - this is the field if its required
.unrequired_custom_field - this is the field if its not required

I believe that's all the classes.
