The way it should be built in is:

In forum settings turn feature on or off for whole forum

If on then you can turn it on for whichever boards it would be needed for and set it up on the boards that they are on like:

Posting Template:			• Off	º On
Template Title	-text field-
Template Description	-text field-		• Disabled	º Enabled
Topic Title	-text field-
Topic Description	-text field-		• Disabled	º Enabled
-Field Name-	-Field Type-	-Field with optional value or set values if select field-	Required?	Description
-Field Name-	-Field Type-	-Field with optional value or set values if select field-	Required?	Description
-Field Name-	-Field Type-	-Field with optional value or set values if select field-	Required?	Description
-New Field Button-

Field types:
Text field
Textbox
Select field
Check boxes
Radio buttons
Blank line

I can see people needing this done, but nothing the code can't handle

One thing with this is the admin could control the output of the fields differently than with the code

The code can be easily recoded to be fitting to the needs to the admin

I don't see how

I don't see how it couldn't you'd be amazed what can be done with JS, i'm not good at it myself, but i've done a few cool codes. For someone like Ross, Marc, or Michael (Wrighty), recoding the posting template code should be rather easy. It wouldn't be hard to add an area within the admin panel that sets a global variable which tells the system is the code is enables and disabled. I'm sure even I could figure out how to do with it if I had the time to tamper with it.

I am only novice coder, I have made a code that almost worked then Ross fixed it so now it works

As stated by Dwight, I think this adds more load to the backend because it has to deal with 10000000 different possibilities, whereas the predefined posting code simply deals with 1, and can be tweaked for the other 2.

If you need anything tweaking in a code, I'm happy to help - just PM me links to the coding board where your request/support is needed!
