Installed. Working great. Thanks man!!

V.3.8.7

[ImSoFly]

This is nice. Maybe have a selection of positions people can apply for rather than Supermod, Mod, and Admin?

To change those, you would just need to change the areas in bold (in the template)

<input type="radio" name="positionapplying" value="Moderator"<if condition="$vbgpc['positionapplying'] == 'Moderator'"> Checked</if> />$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_mod]

Wonderful addition

[jasonuk]

Thanks for the fab mod!

Any chance you could add the new poll option on 4.x.x version to 3.8? That would be an amazing addition! :-) At the moment I have to wait until all applications are in and then manually create a poll with all the names for people to vote on! :-(

Kind regards,

Jay

For those of you that are wondering if this is going to get the same updates as the one for vB 4, the answer is yes. I'm currently working on converting [USML] Staff Application (2.0.0) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=261978) to work with vB 3

why application always goes to moderation?

[HMBeaty]

why application always goes to moderation?
Because if you're forum that you have the new thread created in is hidden/inaccessible by the user filling out the application, their application thread will be treated as needs moderation.

That's default vBulletin behavior

[ShawneyJ]

awesome thanks HMBeaty. anyway of changing "Thank you! Forums" to "Thank you! Chat forums." I have looked in Phrases but cant find that Phrase "Forums" to change it.
thanks ;)

awesome thanks HMBeaty. anyway of changing "Thank you! Forums" to "Thank you! Chat forums." I have looked in Phrases but cant find that Phrase "Forums" to change it.
thanks ;)
The "Thank you! Forums" in what part of the application? Could you post a screenshot with what you want?

[ShawneyJ]

no worries.

[HMBeaty]

no worries.
Ah, that's in the template staff_app. That isn't a phrase atm

[ShawneyJ]

Ahh sorry, im converting IP.Boards to Vbulletin and "Forums" was the title of my boards atm. Sorry, now i understand once i change the boards title it will show, and thanks, easy to change the $vboptions[bbtitle] in template staff_app to anything i want. great mod indeed...cheers ;)

[EGNDRAGON]

Cant seem to get this to work

[Alice]

I am having a hell of a time getting Select Menu's to work properly with the Application. The following is a sampling from the template usml_staff_application:


<!-- START CHARACTER ARCHTYPE -->

<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt1" width="50%">
<strong>$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_chararchtype]</strong>
</td>
<td class="alt2">
<select name="chartype" value="$vbgpc[chartype]">
<option value="Select">(Select One)</option>
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

<!-- END CHARACTER ARCHTYPE -->


The "$vbgpc[chartype]" corresponds to the following located in the php source code:


'chartype' => TYPE_NOHTML,


Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you,

[Alice]

Okay, after some more code debugging, I developed a fix for this issue. The different option strings need to also have a name string attached. In case anyone else runs into this issue, the changes are highlighted in the follow code sampling, which I have included below:


<!-- START CHARACTER ARCHTYPE -->

<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt1" width="50%">
<strong>$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_chararchtype]</strong>
</td>
<td class="alt2">
<select name="chartype" value="$vbgpc[chartype]">
<option value="Select">(Select One)</option>
<option name="chartype" value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option name="chartype" value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option name="chartype" value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

<!-- END CHARACTER ARCHTYPE -->

Okay, here is another issue. When attempting to submit a test application, I got the following series of fatal errors:


Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in [path]/staff-application.php on line 405
in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 235


The rest of the page displays random elements of array code of the entire forum, globally.

Please advise...

[Alice]

Okay, it turns out, its not an issue at all. The error with the data passing not an array was caused by database corruption, which was caused by repeatedly installing and uninstalling the same product. I verified this by reverting the database to a point, priot to ever installing, and then installing everything again. Long story short, everything is now working as intended. :)
