   Hi _ck_

   I've added an extra field on post form using following code on theme's function.php

   if (defined('BACKPRESS_PATH')) {
   add_action( 'bb-post.php', 'custom_post_fields');
   } else {
   add_action( 'bb_post.php', 'custom_post_fields');
   }

   function custom_post_fields() {
   global $topic;
   $topic_id = $topic->topic_id;
   bb_update_topicmeta( $topic_id, 'link', $_POST['link'] );
   }

   function topic_meta($key, $topic_id = 0) {
   global $topic;
   $topic_id = $topic->topic_id;
   return bb_get_topicmeta($topic_id, $key);
   }

   then I added the following field on post-form.php
   

   
   <input name="link" type="text" id="link" size="50" maxlength="100" tabindex="34" required="required" />

   --------
   And it works fine. BUT

   Now, I want to allow users to edit this extra custom field on edit form too, if ever they want to edit after submission. what should I do? Can you please give me a solution?

   - Thanks!

   bb_update_topicmeta( $topic_id, 'link', $_POST['link'] );

   That will get your site hacked, it's not sanitized and will allow mysql injection.

   Change it to
   

   bb_update_topicmeta( $topic_id, 'link', $bbdb->escape($_POST['link']) );

   To edit I guess put the same field on your edit form.
   

   <input name="link" type="text" id="link" size="50" maxlength="100" tabindex="34" required="required" value="<?php echo $topic->link; ?>" />

   Thanks _ck_ but seems there is something wrong. Its' giving me some errors when I use bb_update_topicmeta( $topic_id, 'link', $bbdb->escape($_POST['link']) );

   Error: Fatal error: Call to a member function escape() on a non-object in D:\xampp\htdocs\forum\bb-templates\test\functions.php on line 24

   - Also It's not updating new data after editing. I'm using the following code for getting output in template.

   <?php echo topic_meta('link'); ?>

   You'll need to do a global $bbdb; before it then if you get that error.

   Thanks _ck_ error has gone. But extra custom field in post form is not updating after edit. I want to edit this field stuff like we edit title of the topic etc.

   Don't you think we need to find a hook for when a post is edited and run the same code we are already triggering when a post is first posted?

   Yeah I have a few plugins that do that, there is a hook for new post and a hook for update post and then one that does both.

   You need to read the bbpress core, search for insert_post

   Try changing 'bb_post.php' to 'bb_insert_post'

   You also should check to make sure isset($_POST['link']) before trying to save it or you might get errors.

   If you are going to continue using software that is not made anymore, then you need to learn to read and understand the source code.

   NO _ck_ I cannot figure out where to add isset($_POST['link']) as I was asking for complete code. I'm a noob, I can't work on your guess. I think, I should learn php first to ask next questions.

   - I'm losing hopes. I'm planing to leave bbPress. It's not helpful any-more.
