a PHP form to make a post in a definite forum?

[Francisco]

Hey,

So I was looking to make the use of my vB more common when Pre-sales questions are about (we offer Webhosting, dedicated servers, etc.) and I thought it would bring a little more life to my board.

The most inactive part of my forums are the pre-sales section and I was thinking to add a PHP script that could post the pre-sale questions in the forums after hitting send. Just like a form-mail.

What do you think about it? Our forums are http://forums.navigatoris.net btw.

Thanks

Check out Erwin's flexible hack here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=66082&highlight=form)

Should be able to customize to do what you want. :)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. However, it is a form that only wokrs if you have it installed on the ROOT of the forums :(

I was looking like a PHP code I could bundle into a html page to fill the form and post it.

Is it possible?

I think you could just include a chdir('path/to/forums') line in that hack for it to work.
The HTML page you are thinking of, could just be the template.

Just an idea. :)

Ok, will try this over the weekend (when I get time to work on extra things, weekdays are just too busy :surprised: )

Thanks again!

Haven't had time, sorry.

The other option is to just get some HTML code for a generic form and make a new template.

I'm about to do this.......but just need to find out how to have a form submited from the server side :)

PS: reason I haven't chosen Erwin's hack is because I don't need such complexity!

That sounds great :)

I actually ended up getting Erwin's hack as I needed more than just a form.

Also this hack is a LOT easier to do than coding your own HTML FROM tags into a page.

So get the hack :)

I agree wynode, I have used Erwins form mod for a couple of things, it can be as basic or complex as you want it to. It's really easy to throw the template into an html editor and tweak it to your liking once the varialbes are set to your liking.
