wpForo Topic Custom Fields

wpForo Topic Custom Fields is an official addon for the wpForo forum system that allows you to create custom forms with different sets of fields for each forum and user group. Developed by the gVectors team, this addon transforms a generic forum into a structured platform capable of collecting specific information based on the purpose of each section.

With this addon, administrators can create fully customized topic forms using a visual drag-and-drop builder. It is possible to organize fields into rows and columns, assign different forms to different forums, and control which fields are visible to each user group. Available field types include text, email, phone, URL, date, number, dropdown lists, radio buttons, checkboxes, text areas, file upload, HTML, and TinyMCE rich text editor.

One of the most notable features is the integration of custom fields into the forum search form. This allows users to search and filter topics based on field values, making it much easier to find relevant content. For example, in a technical support forum, fields such as issue severity or product version can be added, while in a classifieds forum, price, location, and item condition can be included.

The addon includes advanced configuration options for each field, such as labels, help texts, descriptions, icons, data validation, minimum and maximum values, and the ability to mark them as required or optional. It also allows managing visibility by user role, creating multiple forms for different forums, and exporting and importing field configurations to streamline setup.

This addon is ideal for communities that need to structure the information in their topics, such as support forums, classified ad boards, business directories, or any niche community that requires organized and searchable metadata. Its native integration with wpForo ensures full compatibility with the forum's designs and styles, maintaining lightweight and optimized performance.
