trying to add an extra field/ text area to the Discussion GuestBook
Permalink Browser Info Environment
I think this is above my pay grade, but my client loves the functionality of the Discussion Forum here - it's pretty awesome. I 'm using the Discussion Guestbook on certain pages as a way for multiple people to comment/ add info about a certain topic.
But My client would like to have a template specifying certain topics that need to be discussed for every contributor about a subject.
For example:
The topic is about Dr. Joe Black
The template items that each student needs to address: Proper Attire, Required Reading, Equipment / Best Apps.
(around line 200) I added in an extra text area by copying this code: ( I also slid in the echo t part (Proper Attire)
and just below it did the next topic like this
and I tried adding the extra call?? on line 120 for that new added text area, but it just duplicates what ever was posted into the first text area. Nothing from the second text area posts. If I leave the 2nd text area empty it returns " Your comment is empty "
I obviously am not doing a lot of things right - can someone point me in the right direction?
Let me know your thoughts.

too little sleep: I mistyped a section:
If I only put text into the 2nd text area - and NOTHING in the first - then it returns
" Your Comment is Empty"

Seems like you're not saving the data anywhere.
The key point here is to understand that discussion posts are in fact concrete5 pages. To store additional information you'd have to create a second discussion post content block, or add an attribute the system and then take the content of the form that's posted and save that value. Then you'll have to modify the display to output the content appropriately.
So it's going to get allot more complicated.....

so that this can become a custom template.
And I'm editing the view.php file.
