Question: A very simple way to do this might be if it is possible to add custom field to a topic - e.g. like what has been done with the tagging plugin.
Would it be possible to make something simple like:
- For a specific category a custom input field is shown and normal text input field is hidden
- Content of custom field is shown in thread list on front page (like tagging plugin)
- In thread itself the content of custom field is injected in content area of first post
