New Post A Thread

[esbes]

I am trying to create an alternative Post New Thread page (I want to remove a few fields and add a few others). Considering that I am new to XenForo and PHP I was hoping to get your insight as to what is the best way to achieve that in terms of software design.

From what I've read so far, the best way to do it is to create an Add-on. I guess I could just create another page, a template and extend the model.

Does it seems like a sensible way to go about it?

Regards and a Happy New Year.

You can just edit the template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> thread_create

See these two posts of mine for some options if you choose to use an addon:

Hey Jake, thank you for your quick reply.
I am looking to extend thread by adding a few more fields, would it make sense to create another table rather than extending the existing one?

It is easier to add on to the existing table.
