Posting From A Form Into The Forum?

[Craigr]

Hi,

I'm wanting to know if the following two things are possible:

1) I want to create a form on my site so that users can input a movie review. Then when they click 'submit' it posts the review into a topic already created in the forums.

I hope to create the movie review page so it looks like a normal HTML webpage with a form at the bottom much like the quick reply hack.

2) The last 5 reviews input are then shown on the review page. I though of pluhnews but it takes topics, i want to take the last 5 posts inside a topic and show them on my review page.

Hope this makes sense
Craig

Craig, you can easily modify PluhNews to do what you want for Number 2. Just tweak the queries a bit.

Regarding #1, if you create the form I will happily modify a script I have that posts into the forums to handle it for you.

I'm quite dumb regarding php and queries.

I can make a form though, so if you could modify it that would be great. :)

Thanks

OK. just put the code for the form in a text file and attach it here. I can guarantee that I can do the posting to the forum for you. If I have time, I might be able to tinker with Pluh for you as well. Just don't want to promise that cause I have a busy work week coming up.

Thanks for the offer Amy. I was tinkering around with the quick reply hack and also Pluh News. I managed to get it working quite good after a while.

Now i've got to intergate it with Logician's templates hack. :nervous:

Thanks again

I'm sorry. I was under the mistaken assumption that you wanted to create a custom form that was review specific and have it post into the forum. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Glad you got it all working well.

This is what i ended up with:

When someone writes a review in this box concerning this movie it posts it to this thread:

http://www.steven-seagal.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=2

It works quite well, and is exactly the same as what Logician stated in the thread where he also altered the quick reply hack.

Thanks, most of the credit goes to your great webtemplates hack.

Thanks
