Hi,
I am thinking of purchasing vB but would need these two hacks.
1. An external form that has multiple fields. For example:
Name: (name text box)
Location: (location text box)
Age: (age text box)
Occupation: (occupation text box)
Comments: (comments text area box)
Then when you submit this form (assuming you are logged in), it posts this information as a new thread on a certain forum (forumid=5 or something for example) in the following format:
In the Subject field:
Name: (the data entered in the name text box from the previous form)
Then in the Message field:
Location: (the data entered in the location text box from the previous form)
Age: (the data entered in the age text box from the previous form)
Occupation: (the data entered in the occupation text box from the previous form)
Comments: (the data entered in the comments text area box from the previous form)
2. The second MOD I would need (not as essential as the first one, but it would be good if I could get this as well) is:
In replying to a private message, there is a drop-down box above the Message body which has a range of options. If one of those options are selected from the drop-down menu then it puts some pre-defined text into the Message body.
e.g. If I select "Thanks for inquiry" from the drop-down menu it would put into the Message area:
"Thanks for your inquiry into our firm. We will get back to you as soon as possible. For any more information please refer to http://test.com/info
Regards,
Management"
Could anyone give me some info on this being possible with vB?
Regards,
Scott
