Fix - Error when board is offline and user is logged off.

5.0.2 (May 23, 2013)
Fix - Insert default questions not working in ACP.

5.0.1 (May 15, 2013)

5.0.0 Beta 5 (January 2, 2013) - TESTED WITH BETA 23 and BETA 24
Fix - Module not displaying, staying in position and uneditable.

NOTE 1 - There is a bug in vB5 where style sheets are not being completely loaded with Internet Explorer 9 (and possibly other versions)
http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-6398
http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-6803
This causes the application form to not display properly with Internet Explorer. It does display properly with other browsers.
There is nothing I can do about this. It is a bug in vB5.

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-5513
To fix this, edit the page again and then edit the application form module. The title will be there, just save everything a second time.

If you're seeing a double core like that (/core/core/) check the vB config file in your root folder (not the one in core/includes). The path to your forum should NOT end in 'core'. It should look something like this...

$config['baseurl'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/vb5';

Tagged. Very nice thing. Here some questions:
Can you view results in the table?
Can you specify which group can view the results from which application?
Can you customize the thread name to include some answers?
I am asking this because I want to make fields "Price" and "Name" to be visible in the topic. Is this doable?

The results are not saved in a table. They are only posted, pm'd or emailed.

Thread permissions in vB can be set to view the posted applications.

The thread name can contain the answer to the first question asked. It can't contain multiple answers.

Did you insert any questions for the Moderator form?

If it looks like the attached screenshot (with or without the 'Application System is Off' message), I'd guess you didn't.

Go to ACP and then to Application Forms->Application Positions. Click the questions link next to the Moderator Form to view your questions.

I strongly suggest if you are going to attempt to use this mod that you make sure you have your home page backed up as I went to add the module / widget what ever you want to call it and it wiped out my main page.. I was fortunate to have backed up all of the code in my modules and was able to reset my page...

Apparently, I am not getting this one to work. When Im trying to import the XML file, it says 'No file uploaded and no local file found' while I made sure to move it to the right locations. Never got an automatic install either.

The Advanced Apps Icon is showing in the Module Manager, but when Im trying to place it into a new page, the page appears empty and unable to edit the module as it shows a blank customization box.

My vb5 is updated to v23 by the way~

There are two post count settings.

The first one is in Application Types... If a user doesn't have enough posts to see the application type, the 'Sorry, we are not currently accepting applications.' notice is shown.

The second one is in Application Positions... If a user doesn't have enough posts to fill out the application the the 'Sorry, you don't have enough posts to apply' notice is shown.

In your case, set the Application Type to 0 (zero) posts and set the Application Position to whatever number of posts you require.

Make sure you've included the usergroup you're in as one that can see application types and application positions.

Beyond that, I would have to see all of the settings for the application type and application position.

Dear nhawk,

First off, thank you for the latest patch regarding this marvelous modification! Although, ever since I installed the v5 patch and uninstalled it because it wasn't working, my Quote BB tag is acting up.

Instead of saying 'originally posted by <username> is says random words such as

- invalid node
- application
- warning

etc. Any idea how to fix or solve this?

this is how it looks like;

nhawk
01-07-2013, 01:05 PM
That is a vB5 bug, not a problem with the application forms.

The application system doesn't touch the posting system in vB5 at all.

I can say that what you're seeing doesn't happen in Beta 24.

Grotesque
01-07-2013, 01:21 PM
Thanks alot nhawk! That certainly made me feel relieved! Back to testing the application forms then. Also will cast a donation since I simply love your modification!

nhawk
01-07-2013, 01:51 PM
FYI.. I've tried to duplicate what you're seeing in my Beta 23 version and I can't. Quotes work without a problem with or without the application system installed. So, I'd be looking at any other mods you have installed to see if one of them is causing a problem/conflict. Or, I'd try a complete re-install of vB5, something might have gone wrong with the upgrade if you did one when you installed Beta 23.

Grotesque

Mm I see, strange. The only mod installed and ever installed was the Application Forms. I did try to copy the v23 patch files again to the server but that didnt worked either.

Already made a support ticket at vbulletin and awaiting their reply right now.
Anyhow, I was wondering if it is possible to set 'min. characters required' for multi line text boxes in the application form?

There is no way to set the minimum number of characters required for a field.

Ok, now I see what's happening.

For now, go to ACP->Languages & Phrases->Search in Phrases.

Enter this in the Search for Text box: advapp_sorry
Tick the 'Phrase Variable Name Only' radio button.
Click 'Find'.

Change the phrase to whatever you want it to be.

Thanks for the reply nhawk! Truly a terrific addon! My last question is regarding the styling / css of the output into a topic that is generated through the form.

Is it possible to change the default CSS once youve submitted the form and generates the topic?

There is no CSS for the topic. It's simple a list of the questions and answers as if somebody hand typed them into a post.

What is it you would like to change? No promises, but perhaps I can add it into the next release.

Grotesque
01-14-2013, 12:03 PM
Ohyup I see! That would be awesome! Right now, the headerphrases are not that notable atm. It would be cool if they would be slightly bigger or a different color! Also the option perhaps to categorize the questions to header phrases. For instance;

General Information
Name:
Age:
Location:
About me:

Other Information
Hobbies:
What skills do you have:
Do you like cupcakes:

Right now, all questions / answers have 1 empty line spacing. Would be cool if certain categories could be attached to a header phrase with the questions whom belong to them.
Then again, I understand such is hardly possible to do x-x

nhawk
01-14-2013, 12:27 PM
Actually the formatting might not be that hard to do because the stylevars already exist in ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->Style Variable Editor.

The categorization of questions to the header for the question is up to you. It's controlled by the order the questions are entered. You can re-arrange them in ACP->Application Forms->Application Postions. Select the Questions link for the application you want to rearrange or add questions to.

I may hold off on incorporating the formatting in posts until the problem with IE stylesheets is fixed.

If this is the first install, that is all that should show up.

If this is an update for you, try going into application positions and see if your other positions are still there.

So far as uninstalling goes, follow the instructions in the readme file. You have to follow a specific process to uninstall mods that auto-install.

Dear nhawk,

After the 5.0.0. patch, it seems there is an issue with the Application Forms. Upon Submitting the form, instead of bringing you to the newly created thread - it shows an error page that you do not have the rights to view your application.

Also, if you set it that it would bring you to an external url, it shows a blank page instead. Any fix for this?

Youre right on that one, I had the feeling that would be the problem indeed. For instance, going back to the site from the MOD panel gives an error too. I'll see if there is a JIRA entry there, otherwise I'll post it!

Thanks for investigating nhawk, very much appreciated!

For font color of any questions or header phrase you can use basic html without quotes. With quotes it gives a short error in question making section. I would imagine you can use other html codes like bold, underline, font size...

Here's how I did my header phrase:
<font color=#FF0000>About You</font>

It works perfect and even displays in posted forum like that without the html codes ofcourse.
Example: About You

As far as what grotesque said I too get the error after someone submits. It returns to invalid page...

05-17-2013, 09:08 AM
You are a genius! Thanks a lot mate, the new update works like a charm.

Question though, is it possible to change the text upon trying to create an application when the usergroup has no access to it? Currently it says;

'' We are not accepting applications at this time ''

I would love to be able to change it to;

'' You must register an account here to apply ''.

nhawk
05-17-2013, 09:55 AM
Absolutely! You can change any phrase shown.

Go to ACP->Languages & Phrases->Search in Phrases
In the 'Search for Text' box put advapp
Tick the 'Phrase Variable Name Only' selection
Click the 'Find' button.

In this case, you want to edit the 'advapp_sorry' phrase.

EDIT: But unregistered members shouldn't be able to see the application form widget with the application types in it. Just be sure that usergroup 1 is in ACP->Settings->Options->Application Form Settings-- Banned Usergroup Settings

nhawk
05-17-2013, 10:12 AM
I just noticed I haven't pointed something else out..

The way the application looks can be changed by going to ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager, select Style Variable Editor for the style your using and edit the ApplicationForms settings.

Note that this is just for the application itself. It does not change the way the way the post looks after the application is filled out.

Beta 5 of this mod? If so, follow these instructions in the ReadMe.txt file...

* Removal *
----------------
1) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Plugin/Hook System and set it to 'No'.

2) Uninstall the product in ACP->Products & Hooks->Manage Products.

3) Delete the core/packages/advapp5 folder from your server.

4) Delete the core/admincp/advappadmin.php file from your server.

5) Delete the admincp/img/module-icon-advapp.png file from your server.

6) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Plugin/Hook System and set it to 'Yes'.

If you don't follow those instructions, the mod will not uninstall. This does not happen with the lastest version.

I'm unable to duplicate your problem. It works fine in 5.0.3 for me.

Try disabling any other mods you might have to see if the problem goes away.

Thank you for reporting this. I'll have an update out as soon as I can to fix this problem.

In the meantime, use the regular checkbox without the 'all of the above' option.

I don't see where I can change that option (vB nOOb here). When I hyperlink the form in the post, the user will click it and it will launch a new page.

Unfortunately that is a function of vBulletin's BB Code.

The only way I know of to change it is to create a custom BB Code and use target _self for that code. However, I have no idea if custom BB Codes are working in vB 5 or not so I can't help you there.

Any way to not post the IP to everyone or to select groups (like admin)?

Sorry but until vB 5 stabilizes I won't be updating this mod.

Once vB5 stabilizes I'll look into the problem.

Hello i was wondering if you could provide some help.

The mod has installed fine and everything works except when you come to choosing a position at this point when you click the position you wish to apply for it directs to link but shows no questions only the option to apply for a position again.

Any suggestions?

If this is with vB 5.0.5, I can't say what the problem is. I haven't even looked at 5.0.5 so far as add-ons go yet. And until I see some stability in vB5, I won't be looking for the problems.

If it's with an earlier version of vB, that shouldn't happen so long as the permissions for each form type and position are set correctly. And if you have all of the questions defined for the position.

I don't seem to have any issues running this with 5.0.5 except... where do I go to see the actual applications once they're submitted? Because I'm told the application was submitted successfully, but then it says I'm not authorized to view this page, so I'm guessing it's permission issues.

I just don't know which permissions needs to be set or where I administer application permissions specifically.

Thanks!

The applications are posted in the forum/thread you specify in ACP->Application Forms

If you don't see the Application Forms menu in the ACP left menu, then there's another thing not working in vB5.0.5

Is that something that could be fixed by an end user? I'd really like an option like this, but I am hardly proficient enough to write something like this myself. I can definitely make modifications if needed, though.

I don't think so. Coding vB5 is a totally different animal as compared to vB4.

And being a member of the vB5 Beta test team, I am working with versions not yet available to everyone. And even with those versions I don't feel it's stable enough to begin programming the changes needed for this mod to continue to work.

Now I think I need to clarify what I'm saying. When I say stable, I mean the code hasn't reached a point where I can feel comfortable coding the changes needed and not have to keep coming back after each release to fix them again. Part of my style of coding is to code so a mod (especially a free mod) will survive multiple vB updates without needing to be recoded or patched. And vB5 is not yet in a state to support that.

I've removed the file download from this mod to prevent any further downloads.

When vB5 stabilizes, I'll reinstate the download/mod.

You can use the forms for whatever purpose you like.
