Just for temporary, I think you can commenting out this line from inc/plugins/xthreads.php:

PHP Code:

@include_once MYBB_ROOT.'cache/xthreads_evalcache.php';

Fix the custom thread fields which causing the problem, then revert the code above back.

Thanks so much for the help !
Did as suggested and worked fine.
Not sure what did to cause problem, but may have tried to do too much while filling out the 'add thread field' form or something.
Anyway, am back at it.
Thanks again !

Having a problem with showing thread.

All textboxes (including xthreads) show when edit thread (image #2 on scrnshot attached, using custom formatted 'subject' and 'message' fields since couldnt figure simple workaround for eg 'subject missing error message').  

But, when update, the xthreads are not showing in the thread display (image #1).

Tried editing acp/templates/key_showthreads, but that doesnt seem to change anything.  Maybe something need to do with acp/templates/showthreads, havent tried that yet.

Assume it is a template that need to edit, but cant figure out which one.

Or maybe something else am missing ?

Ps:  Hope above isnt too confusing, as get more into this, gets more difficult to describe what am trying to communicate.

It's not "<key>_showthread", it's "<template prefix>showthread".
You put the key of the thread field as a variable in the template, eg {$threadfields['key']}

Oops!
Now am feeling like a total idiot.  
Thank u for getting me turned around and for ur patience.

So, if...
#3. (per attached scrnshot) make thread (textbox) key=ph
#4. make thread prefix=cr_
#5. make new template cr_showthread
...then all the changes made to cr_showthread should show up in 'test' forum threads ?

Eg, in cr_showthread code may be...
<div id="posts">{$first_post}{$posts}{$threadfields['ph']}</div>

That doesnt seem to effect anything at the 'test' thread displays, so sure am not getting it yet.
Is the above logic closer ?

Ps:  Difference between {$threadfields} and $extra_threadfields} ?

Not Thread Prefix, but Template Prefix.
AdminCP -> Forums & Posts -> Forum Management -> Edit/create a forum, scroll down the page. You'll find the Template Prefix setting there.

As far as I know, $extra_threadfields is used for displaying the series of XThreads input fields. So, the working area for that variable are in newthread and editpost (and in quickthread if you use quickthread).
$threadfields is an array for displaying the value of a custom thread fields (output).

Meant to type cr_template. Guess too much going on here
Deleted all forums, keys, prefixes etc and started over.
Created a new custom thread field, key=hp_.
Created a new template prefix=cr_.
Created new showthread template=cr_showthread. which assumed controlled the following selected source display...

Quote: <td class="trow2 post_content ">
<span class="smalltext"><strong>test subject </strong></span>
<div id="pid_1" class="post_body">
test message
</div>

But, apparently not the template which controls that display, because the custom thread is not showing at the thread display.
Should the variable be {$threadfields['hp_']} ?
Is there a place (wiki, forum thread, etc) to go for a description of which templates control which part of displays ?
Will keep trying to find with word search and trial-and-error, but seem to be getting more errors than not.  
Are there certain /forum files hold the 'templates' ?

{$threadfields['key']} or {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['key']}, depends on your threadfields key (I don't know whether it is ph or hp).

Have been trying to do that, but not that good at it yet, will do some more t&e for that.

Make sure you've got HTML comments enabled (it is by default).  View source of one of your pages and see if you can find:

HTML Code

<!-- start: headerinclude -->

---

The above indicates the start of the headerinclude template (obviously).

I'm not sure what you mean by 'creating template prefix', since you don't create one, but assign one.  Maybe I'm just being pedantic with terminology here, but I'm not sure exactly where you're looking at.

I'll try to explain what the template prefix does exactly, if it's confusing you.  Basically, it's to allow you to use different templates in different forums (in other words, have unique templates for some forums). To do this, we need some way to separate normal templates with ones we only want to apply for a specific forum - this is done by assigning a unique prefix to the name of the template.
So if forum X has a prefix of "cr_", when MyBB tries to load the showthread template, it will first look to see if it can find cr_showthread, and if not found, will fall back to showthread.  Note that cr_showthread effectively replaces showthread in this case.

Think am getting the  <!-- start: template --> and <!-- end: template --> thing/s, but in the example in last post, the code source from the thread display appears to be after <!-- end: template --> and before <!-- start: template -->.

Also, have created prefix_templates (eg prefix_postbit_edit, comment omitted) which show under ACP/ManageTemplates/UngroupedTemplates, and those modifications have been displayed (or not as per example case) in the one forum selected under ACP/Config/ThreadPrefixes.

The custom field is displayed for new threads and when editing, but when click 'Post Thread' or 'Update Post', the custom field is not displayed in the thread view.

Quote:<tr>
<td class="trow2"><strong>{$lang->cr_subject}:</strong></td>
<td class="trow2">
{$prefixselect}<input type="text" class="textbox" name="subject"
size="40" maxlength="85" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow2" valign="top"><strong>{$lang->cr_your_message}:</strong><br /></td>
<td class="trow2">
{$prefixselect}<input type="text" class="textbox" name="message"
size="40" maxlength="85" value="{$message}" id="message" tabindex="3" />
</td>
</tr>
{$extra_threadfields}{$posticons}
<tr>
<td class="trow1" valign="top"><strong>{$lang->post_options}</strong></td>
<td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">
<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[signature]" value="1"

Tried all this (except not prefix_template editing) with a new installation (different server, no customization) of MyBB with XThreads, created custom thread field, it displays when create thread but not when post thread/display or when edit/update post.

Not sure what missing, where to look, what to do ?
