Forms Hack

[sully02]

that would be great.

at least then i can see everything i need to do for next time.

Wasn't able to test this out on my board, but give this a shot and let me know how it works:

[onkel.joi]

I have a small question. Is it possible to remove question from the final thread if the answer was not given? For example: What is your name?: ____________
The answer is not give for this, so I want in the final thread not to have that question, but if in the other thread user would answer that question it should appear in the final thread. Hopefully I did not get everybody confused. Thanks

Why is my post message wraped in the following when I test this unchanged?

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: formanswers -->

<!-- END TEMPLATE: formanswers -->

<!-- END TEMPLATE: formanswers -->

Because you are in debug mode on your forums. I would turn that off.

[Code Monkey]

It's a dev site first of all. ;)

It was doing that because "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" Was set to "yes". Even so, it should not put it in the post.

[bluesteel]

Great hack Abe1. Having some fun with it,but now I'm stuck :(
I don't know if this is possible, but in the answers, can a conditional be set somewhere that show an image depending on what the $radioanswer1 answer is?

ie if radioanswer 1 = Yes, show image 1
else
show image 2

if you know what I mean lol

Can anybody help me please?

You can use vBcode in your answer template.
There is one thing mentioned above, make sure there is a space after the last opening tag and before the first closing tag. Otherwise I think you get an error when you try to save the template.

An example taken from one of my answer templates:

$subjecttitleans

$longanswer1

_____________________________________________

$subjectdate : $subjectdateans
$subjectlocation : $subjectlocationans
$filesize : $filesizeans
$fileruntime : $fileruntimeans
$fileformat : $fileformatans

_____________________________________________

$longquestion2

$longanswer2

_____________________________________________

$longquestion3

$longanswer3

RMS-Chef thank's man! :)
I readed this topic tree times before i find answer on my question.
I think this must be placed in plugin as example, because it's not "visible" option for beginers.
And is there any chance to remove those spaces in replies? I mean how can i use BBCODEs in answer form without spaces?

[steven s]

Can anybody help me please?
I've been using a condition to change the color of a table cell and add required if there is no answer.
$bbuserinfo[field14] is one of my profile fields. This is done in your form.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field14]">
<td class="alt1" valign="top">$bbuserinfo[field14]<else />
<td bgcolor="#ffff66" valign="top"><font size="-2">required</font></if>
</td>

I believe I still have your file saved. I'll take another look at it once I leave work tonight.

[Puntoboy]

smashing, thanks for your help.

[wolfstream]

This looks good, like just what I've been looking for, actually. A couple of questions/ problems though.
Firstly:
I'm trying to get the form data to parse a very simple url, like:
http://www.domain.com/newthread.php?do=form&review=myhost
The idea is to have that last bit be part of the title itself. Code changed for this:

$formtitle = "Generic Form for $review";

which simply returns
Forumname : Generic form for
Am I missing something here? Do I need to add something to parse the review bit?

Secondly, can this parse sql queries directly? Instead of handing them off to a forum, what I'm looking to do is add them to a db of reviews which will then be approved by an admin, and viewed by the end user, not in a forum as it were.

Thanks guys for lots of halp.

[pipin]

thx
used this with threadid and t
and it works now.

but i found a new glitch :speechless:

a posting done through the form wont be shown in the upper category of a subforum as last posting.

http://home.arcor.de/jensgessner/date.jpg

It looks like your camparing it to a category and not another thread.


hm? i wanted to point out, that the last post is not updated in the upper category. The image is mixed from 2 views: bottom the threadview in the category mainboards and top the allforumview. last post isnt the same there.

[keroberos]

any idea why users on IE post a APP it doesnt work, but firefox it does?

Thank you! EXCELLENT hack! :)

My only question, being somewhat new to this, how exactly do I go about doing a second form? How is it created to differ from the first one?

[onkel.joi]

Does anybody knows how to make second botton next to New Thread that would make make forms? I am already installed Edit New Thread Addon but I want to keep that New Thread botton just in case if someone whats the regular way to may thread.
Any help?

Some kind of small "bug" (wrong explaintext on gender choose):

In product-XML search for:


<td class="alt1" valign="middle">
<b>$dropdownquestion1</b>:<br />
$explain3</td>


REPLACE with:


<td class="alt1" valign="middle">
<b>$dropdownquestion1</b>:<br />
</td>

In formanswers you must find you question for example you have:
$question1
$answer1
and replace whith
<if condition="$answer1">
$question1
$answer1
</if>
for me it's work's ;)

Many thanks for this hack. It's great!

I have one question. How can I add a textbox,a button browse and a button attach to add a attachment to the form.

[Abe1]

You cant add attachments to the form. You can use the direct to edit post page where they can add attachemetns.

[jilly]

When I call my form page it's blank. Anyone see a problem in the code syntax here?

** edited - the problem was I changed the template names in the code - I misread the instructions... changed them back to default and it worked

[bsmat]

Thanks!

[kassem]

Thanks a lot for this hack.

Anybody can help me.:)
Thanks again.

Thanks i found it ;)

I had this working OK on my forum (very nice hack, btw!).

As I was fooling around with it on my test forum, I uninstalled it using the Manage Products area of the admincp, then reinstalled the same .xml product.

However, now when I try to navigate to /newthread/php?do=form I get Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator and a parsing error at the top of the pageParse error: parse error, unexpected '\"' in /home/mysite/public_html/forums/newthread.php(68) : eval()'d code on line 89 I've checked and rechecked everything I can think of and still can't get it working again despite multiple attempts to upload and overwrite. Again this is the identical .xml file that I had working fine but now won't function. Any ideas?

/edit - uploading the original package works so I must have inadvertently created an error in my modified file. :(

try find answers in my post above and than if errors still be, attach you *.xml

[HaMaDa4eVeR]

Hello
I got this error message :
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in

and when I try to open newthread.php?do=form I will get this error



althouth everything is right and I changed the formforumid to the my specified forum id ?????

I'm still Facing this proplem !

[steven s]

I'm still Facing this proplem !

Having the wrong forum name would just give you 'Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator'.

When you edited the form script, did it compile correctly, no errors?

[xOzzie]

try find answers in my post above and than if errors still be, attach you *.xmlThanks for the response. I just re-modified a working 'original' .xml file and all is well. I believe I must have induced an error as I was modifying the file.

[Puntoboy]

but u should change this
if ($_REQUEST['action'] == '')
{
$_REQUEST['action'] = "form";
}
to this
if ($_REQUEST['action'] == '')
{
$_REQUEST['action'] = "Application";
}
and

{
// set message box width to usercp size
$stylevar['messagewidth'] = $stylevar['messagewidth_usercp'];
$dontusewysiwyg = 1;
$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar();

$stylevar['messagewidth'] = $stylevar['messagewidth_usercp'];
$dontusewysiwyg = 1;
$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar();


ok i have changed this but the form is not working correctly.

i need the forum, once completed, emailling to my email account for processing.

i've set it so it does this however when i receive the email, its more or less blank, non of the fields are there just the title.

any help? also i cannot get the bottom field to change to the Payment type and not Title.

// To add more then one form, copy this whole text, and creat a new plug-in with the hook location 'newthread_start'.
// After, change the form name. You can't have 2 forms with the same name.

// Name of this form
$formname = "Application";

sory but who change this for you? :ermm:
there is so many errors! and the most is additionals LINE's between PHP comments.
for example:THREAD, NEW POLL, REPLY TO EXISITING THREAD, PMed OR

EMAILED
New aditional lines made text above like a "functions" and "variables". That's why too many errors.

UPDATED
change those errors.... Try to paste it.....

PS NEVER change this code:if ($_REQUEST['action'] == "submit")
{

if ($answerall == "1")to anything!

Expand all you styles and check two teplates in all styles: FORM, FORMANSWER.
They must be in all styles.

Abe1 can i ask you about future request?
Addable fields in forms.
Try to explain what i mean. When creating POOLs in usual threads we can set number of fields for poll.
Can you add this future in forms?

PS i tried to do it myself but ..... :(

you can help mate, as you just have....

for some reason the XML didn't create a template for formanswers in the first style (the one i was trying) created a new one and copied it from the working template!

all works now! you're a life saver!

how do i set it so they must answer all fields?

i set the option to "1" but it always comes up with the error "you need to answer every question!" eventhough all fields are answered.

[Puntoboy]

is this not right?

if ($answerall == "1")
{
if ($normalanswer2 == 'First Name' OR $normalanswer3 == 'Last Name' OR $normalanswer4 == 'Street Address' OR $normalanswer5 == 'Town' OR $normalanswer6 == 'County' OR $normalanswer7 == 'Postal Code' OR $normalanswer8 == 'Country' OR $normalanswer9 == 'Date of Birth' OR $normalanswer10 == 'Daytime Telephone Number' OR $normalanswer11 == 'Evening Telephone Number' OR $normalanswer12 == 'Mobile Telephone Number' OR $normalanswer13 == 'Email Address' OR $normalanswer14 == 'Punto Mark' OR $normalanswer15 == 'Model' OR $normalanswer16 == 'Year' OR $normalanswer17 == 'Registration' OR $normalanswer18 == 'Colour' OR $dropdownquestion1 = "title" OR $dropdownquestion2 = "What method will you be using for payment?")

I customized the form and wrote two new templates using it to make new posts in a certqain forum.

And it works very well.

But one problem occured:

i set permissions for unregistered User to make posts in this forum (this works by normal new thread in the form), but with the form it wont work.

try to change forumid in hook on some open for post forum.

I've done that. I have no idea what's wrong. I set it for an open forum. I even tried setting it both to post to an existing thread and a new one. I can't even get the form to show up. Just the error.

[HaMaDa4eVeR]

Hello
I fixed all errors and the form apper to me but when i submitting
Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
althought I edit everything

//ENABLE FORM TO BE POSTED - 1 = yes, 0 = no
$formforum="1";

//FORUM TO POST NEW THREAD IN
//You CAN make this number a variable. You can have a drop down menu or in the link like do=form&f=1. Make sure you add it the variables list.
$formforumid="3";

what's the wrong

[xOzzie]

I had that happen when I had the forumid set incorrectly.

[XFSImperial]

I am having a minor issue with this hack. Installed and customized it, but I removed a large number of the questions except for question2 and longquestion1. However, when I visit the form, it still shows rows and blank form areas. I deleted the extra variables from both the part 1 & part 2 sections. Any suggestions to completely terminating the other blank sections?

you have to edit the form template!

NO I'm sure that I set the correct forumid and I activate the option

$formforum="1";
and the forumid=3 and I've forum in my forum with id=3

$formforumid="3";

[Blind Guardian]

I don't suppose anyone would know if it'd be possible to modify this plugin to act as a moderator warning system?

I like my moderators to both post a reason in the member's usernotes, aswell as send them a private message when they're warned. It'd be nice if I could streamline that into one form, which'd both post in their usernotes and send a PM notifying them of the warning.

[BaconDelight]

I remember reading in the 3.0x version of this hack that the resulting posts were not indexed for search. Is that no longer an issue in 3.5x?

[BaconDelight]

Okay, I've installed this on a test board and it works great (and yes, the resulting posts are searchable.

I just have one question. I'd like some more detailed formatting from the forumanswers template, but if I try adding bbcode to the template, I get a parse error. How can I get that kind of formatting? For example, the way it is now, the thread comes out like this:

What is the meaning of life?
The answer is 42.

whereas I'd like it to look like this:

What is the meaning of life?
The answer is 42.

I would like some help please creating a form..

I have read the plugin and most of it is beyond my comprehension :(
I have included an attachment as to what i would like on the form.....

I really hope some one can help

Thanks in advance

This is possible that while clicking on "New message" one arrives in the form ?
Without pass by a link...

[Kinneas]

Hey, just a quickie. Sorry if it's already been answered, I did a brief search but It's 3AM and I'm exhausted :P

I know that the form has the ability to auto create a poll...but is it possible to set it up as well so that the poll has an automatic timeout specified by me? I intend to use the form to create a poll which closes after 3 days automatically. Is this possible to do?

[silurius]

For some reason, this form stopped posting to my specified forum all of a sudden. I have combed through the plugin code and can't figure it out. It will email though. Anyone else having this issue? Might have popped up since upgrading to 3.5.3 but I can't remember.

Never mind, figured it out :)

A simple

$poll->set('timeout', '3' );

added to the poll creation process deals with that :D

[CnB]

Edit: i fixed the problem

though one other thing
is there a way to make the form submissions show up as new posts ?
each user who submits a form gets no post count added
and the forum where the form is submitted wont show a new post

[WNxWakko]

Is there any way to add the Preview Thread or Preview Form in this case?

I deperatly need that feature if its possible somehow.

This is a great hack and is working well with one acception.

If anyone replys to the thread that is created by it the replys are not listed. In other words all threads created by this hack are listed as having 0 replys even though they may have a dozen or more. Has anyone experianced this?

[ArchangelX]

I'm confused...what is the hooks? How do I edit it? I'm sorry...this is my first time editing stuff like this...can someone give me a hint? Thanks!

[ArchangelX]

Forget it...I figured it out...thanks!

[PET]

I don't really understand this:


2 - Edit the main hook - the instructions are all inside the hook itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!


Where are the options ? How do i create a new form ??

[Jaguartje]

I'm using this hack a while now, but now I found out that Unregistered or unloggedin visitors can also fill in the form and post it. I don't want this. The form has to get a prevention of submitting the form if someone is known as "Unregistered" on the website. I've tried the code below, but this doesn't seem to function:

if ($bbuserinfo == 'Unregistered')
{
$errormessage = "You have to register or login first before submitting this form. You can register <a href=\"http://www.coy-guild.net/register.php\">here</a>" or log in <a href=\"http://www.coy-guild.net/login.php\">here</a>.;
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
exit();
}

Any suggestions?

In the hook, there is the following setting: USERGROUPS ALLOWED

Set it to 0 and 1

[descds]

OK a little confused here.

My form works perfectly well have is by default posting happily to

$formforumid = "27";

However from what i understand if i put &f= into the url i can get it to post to other forums but can i heck as like get that to work :)

So say i use

newthread.php?do=Usenet_Review=f=12

it should create a new thread into forum ID number 12 correct ?

However it insists on posting to 27 each time.

Obviously it would be nice to use one form and hack and then put in the url which forums to post it to.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong ? Or is there more i should be looking at ?

You have to add it to the Template also. You have to add a hidden field named forumid.

Everytime i try using something like

newthread.php?do=Usenet_Review&f=16 it says its posted but nothing shows in that forum. I've tried a variety of different forums and checked access and posting rights etc so its something i have slightly wrong somewhere in the code.

Any help would very much be appreciated.

BTW awesome hack ..

[WNxWakko]

Is there any way to add a Preview to the form?

[Abe1]

Is there any way to add a Preview to the form?

Not right now.

[descds]

Hi abe1.

I know i'm probably being a pain and your busy but if you could take a quick look and see what i'm doing wrong with this &f=xx part of the form i really would appreciate it.

It seems silly to create 7 plugin clones when one will do with the &f= added somewhere .

[JeffreyC]

Is anyone willing (if paid) to help me implement this into my forum?

I have failed at it.

[descds]

I think i've exhausted all combinations now :(

I've tried

$formforumid = $forumid;

I've tried

$formforumid = $_GET ['f'];

I've tried

$formforumid = $_GET ['$forumid'];

And many more combinations.

The url i'm passing is

http://localhost/forum/newthread.php?do=Usenet_Review&f=20

But no matter what i do i cannot get it to post in forum 20 (or any forum for that matter).

And i have this

<input type="hidden" value="$forumid" name="f" />

under

<input type="hidden" value="submit" name="action" />

in my main template.

Please someone tell me what i'm doing wrong :) Cos i have no idea why it won;t accept the forum number being passed along the url ...

[Thanatos]

For some reason, this form stopped posting to my specified forum all of a sudden. I have combed through the plugin code and can't figure it out. It will email though. Anyone else having this issue? Might have popped up since upgrading to 3.5.3 but I can't remember.

I added a 3rd form tonight and suddenly, it stopped working.

I can submit any of the 3 forms with success, but none will actually appear in any of their designated forums. This was working fine before I added a 3rd form.

I can set it to email or PM and it works correctly, emailing or PM'ing the form to me, but that isn't very helpful.

It was working in 3.5.3 for me till tonight lol.

I am clueless. Anyone else have suggestions?

[Abe1]

$formforumid = $forumid;

Try this:
$formforumid = $_REQUEST['forumid'];

[PoisonDart]

Can you update this hack for 3.5.3

[descds]

Try this:
$formforumid = $_REQUEST['forumid'];

Still refuses to work :(
This has to be something i'm doing wrong :(

I've tried

http://localhost/forum/newthread.php?do=Usenet_Review&f=20

and

http://localhost/forum/newthread.php?do=Usenet_Review?f=20

Both tell me that they have posted but i get nothing in that forum or any other forum for that matter.

I now have

$formforumid = $_REQUEST['$forumid'];

in my plugin

and

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="newthread.php">
<input type="hidden" value="$formname" name="do" />
<input type="hidden" value="submit" name="action" />
<input type="hidden" value="$forumid" name="f" />

In part of my main form template ...

Still no show :(

I've tried removing the $ in the main form so :-

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="newthread.php">
<input type="hidden" value="$formname" name="do" />
<input type="hidden" value="submit" name="action" />
<input type="hidden" value="forumid" name="f" />

I've tried adding the $ to the php

$formforumid = $_REQUEST['$forumid'];

And both combinations of that :(

I really just can't get it to post. Please, if you could, and i really would appreciate the help, can you tell me concisely where i'm going wrong.

heres my main form and php files once more :-

Thanks Abe that now works perfectly. As a matter of knowledge what was i doing wrong ?

All I did was change f to forumid.

[Thanatos]

Any suggestions regarding the forms breaking and not posting when submitted while mailing and pm'ing still works?

[Abe1]

Any suggestions regarding the forms breaking and not posting when submitted while mailing and pm'ing still works?

If they dont have permission to post.

[Thanatos]

If they dont have permission to post.

That wouldn't be valid, I am the Administrator, I can see and post in ALL of these forums and the apps I submit do not post in these forums. My usergroup is defined in the forms as well.

So does that mean that if a user can't see the forum, it won't submit to it? The old version was doing this just fine. Can this be defined or can I get the old version? lol

That wouldn't be valid, I am the Administrator, I can see and post in ALL of these forums and the apps I submit do not post in these forums. My usergroup is defined in the forms as well.

What old version?

Just give them permission to post. They dont need permission to view I believe.

[Thanatos]

Any older version..seemed to work.

The point is...I am the Admin, I have permission to do both and the forms won't work for me. They submit, they just never appear. I get no indication of an error, just the message telling me thanks for submitting the form, but nothing appears, even if I go and look under new posts.

Will this work with 3.5.4??

This is exactly what I need...

Yes.

I'm still trying to grasp the concept behind this hack. Once you've developed your form and you post it as a thread, will only the form be presented in the thread and will everyone's answers be viewable in the thread (to everyone), or will each members' answered form be automatically sent to an admin or a moderator?

I'm trying to understand the exact process and capabilities (from the creation of the form to the submitted form)

[PtP]

I have been pulling my hair our trying to force one of my forms to use a certain style other than the default, I dont not allow users to change styles BUT I have different styles on some of the forums and wish to use one of these on one of my forms, Is this possible. any help appreciated.

You don't post the form as a thread. Esentially, the form takes the place of the "Create New Thread" page. What happens to the responses depends on what option you choose. The response will either be posted as a new thread, sent as a PM to whomever you specify, as a reply to an existing thread.

Hi evry one
how to make a drop down menu
in this line

//FORUM TO POST NEW THREAD IN
//You CAN make this number a variable. You can have a drop down menu or in the link like do=form&f=1. Make sure you add it the variables list.
$formforumid = "2";
thanks

[dodgechargerfan]

Finally figured out how to get the form the way I needed.

Thanks for this hack!

Thanks for this hack!

For some less vbulletin familiar users it might be a little tough knowing that the "Hook" is the plug-in itself. Hopefully they check out the thread or ask.

*clicks install - Great 2 hacks Abe1

Going to make this so users can apply for usergroups aka separate guilds families. So many thanks for this!

[Aesma Deva]

I want to try using this along with GARS. Thankzz, Abe.
*Installs second hack from Abe in 2 days*
Edit ~ And yes, you might want to add that you can edit it through the plugin manager in the instructions.

My moderator form goes to a private moderator board, and all the posts are coming through as 'moderated', even though the forum is not set that way - the forums settings say 'no' to all the moderation questions.. and the people submitting the forms are NOT on moderated status.. Any ideas?


I too am having this same problem.

[lolo?]

hello how to add multiple forum choice??
i have this code
$formforumid = "2";
$formforumid = "3";
but the from make a post only on the last forum never in the first
can you help me please
thanks a lot

[heynurse]

Does anyone have forms and templates that they would like to share? I'm looking to create a moderator application form, but if someone else has already done the work of modifying the hook and templates and would like to share them with us all that would be great!

I'm sure that there are several good uses of this form hack and it would be interesting to hear all the ways you are using it.

Thanks!

[SLGR]

Is there anyway to use this form as a separate .php file (example: /forum/form.php) and not as "/newthread.php?do=form"?

[Thanatos]

I have found that "Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins" conflicts with this, but erratically.

Once I uninstalled this, my forms would submit into their specified forums again.

[Jayphen]

So can this form be put anywhere? (ie outside the forum itself, but on the same server etc)

[aflax045]

I have figured out how to put the applicant name in the thread title and know how the "default thread title" works. However, is it possible for this to be:
Applicant Name: Default Thread Title

Example:

UserBob - Administrator Application

[ca99uk]

Hello,

firstly thanks for the hardwork on the form. Secondly it works great for me except one thing (dont know if its possible or not). When a user posts a message using the form the subscription doesnt seem to work. I am using this form as a sort of helpdesk ticket and want the users to get an email when I reply to the post.

It works great if they post without using the form but if they make a post using the form their subscription doesnt seem to work, and they get no email notifications???

Also my HTML or coding skills are very very very very basic so if there is a fix or something I can do to get this working a step by step explanation would be great :nervous:

Any ideas and thanks in advance??

[Jon.]

Can someone tell me what the main hook is, and where i can find it?

[ca99uk]

Anyone? I would really appreciate any help with this one :)

[silly rabbit]

I've played with this hack a little (works like a charm thx!) question is: If posting 'form' replys to a thread and/or forum has anybody had any good success (they'd like to share) REVERSING THE PROCESS???

Example: Let's say I design my own custom 'signup' page the results of which get posted into a forum. I'd like to be able to 'edit' / retrieve the data posted back INTO A FORM PAGE (ie: repopulate the data) for review / changes as opposed to simply using the Vb editor??

My moderator form goes to a private moderator board, and all the posts are coming through as 'moderated', even though the forum is not set that way - the forums settings say 'no' to all the moderation questions.. and the people submitting the forms are NOT on moderated status.. Any ideas?

Again, the requests are not coming from a moderated usergroup, and the forum they are pointed to is not set to have posts or threads in the forum moderated. I am using version 3.3

[Elikster]

I have modifed the XML to have it working, and it submits, but it does not get it posted into the forum itself as it is intended here. Here is the copy of the XML file.

I'm having a problem with unregistered users accessing/viewing a form. We would like this form application to be accessible outside the forum to unregistered users.

I currently have the USERGROUP permissions not enabled and set the same as the default form hook, as below.

// if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(2,5,6,7))) print_no_permission();
I have tried adding usergroup 1 as an ID and enabling this setting but it did not help.

A registered user or administrator can access and submit forums without a problem. But I need for unregistered users to be able to view/submit.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

[Elikster]

Got it all working properly now. Found one ; that shouldn't be there that caused it not to post at all.

[FLMom]

I am about to install! Thanks :)

[FLMom]

Alright, I need help please!!

I installed this and I am assuming I did it the right way, but I can't seem to find it anywhere? In the step #3 of the install when it says "3 - To get to the form, go to: /newthread.php?do=form (change "form" to the name of your form if you have few)"
How do I go to that? I am new to this stuff and just can't figure it out. Can someone please explain this too me? TIA :D

I'm new to this too.. but I can maybe help a little.

In Plug-In Manager in the ACP you will see a hook called "Form Hack". That is the "main hook" referenced in the instructions. Edit form hack and follow the instructions to save a form with a new name. Then edit the "new" hook and set options the way you want them.

There are also two templates, form and formanswers, that have to be modified if you customize the appearance. I made new templates for my customized form so I always have the main one to look at for default options.

Hope this helps you a little. :)

[HappyDJ]

I still can't figure this out - how to use etc! It would be excellent if some sort of idiots guide was made to make a form or whatever!

Any takers?

[silly rabbit]

I still can't figure this out - how to use etc! It would be excellent if some sort of idiots guide was made to make a form or whatever!

Any takers?
happy, while no EXPERT myself the form hack consists of three things wrapped up into one neat XML plugin - two templates and php processing code. 1)An input template(named 'form'), 2)an output template(named answers) and 3)the php processing code itself which is hooked to 'newthread_start'. The 2 templates, once installed, can be found in the vb 'Style Manager' and edited from within the admin cp (like everything else) rather than constantly reinstalling/overwriting the plugin itself (which I did initially).

The first thing I did however, to make life easier on myself, was to rename (thru search replace) all the variable references in the script itself to simplier, more generic names like 'question1', 'answer1' and $answer1 (the php references). I assume you know HTML form processing right??

Step2 (prior to loading the XML) is deciding where the output 'answers' is to go and those options are embedded in the php code itself. In my case I chose 'reply to thread' leaving the reply to 'new thread' option '0' otherwise you'll get a double post.

Having muddled thru all of that I designed my own 'custom' input 'form' (using the same 'answer' variables) and noticed 1 thing - I did not have to change the 'formname' (or modify the XML plugin) IF you manually assign the new template (in my case named 'testform') the same title $formtitle="form" as the hookcode will still execute!! In other words the only real reason I see to install a second XML is if the php processing code needs changing. Of course if ya need new / different php processing code (which you need to design) then the XML plugin and the 'formtitle' needs to change too but if Abe's processing code is good (and all ya need) you can manually force the issue AT RUNTIME . . .

Make Sense??

I am using this in conjunction with Logician's 'Webtemplates' and it works very well posting user input data into a thread of my designation . . . .

Eh, Questions??

[|oR|Greg]

is there/will there be any way to use a form to submit a new calendar event?

I would install this if an option were to also add an event to the calendar. Like a check box to add it, then a drop down for date.

[silly rabbit]

That'd be GOOD!! And say a handy way to custom retrieve and edit / update a current event that already exists (without the help of the AdminCP)????

[mrgrimes]

Hi. I'm new to both vBulletin and php, but this hack looks like it could do what I'm after. Basically I want a form that submits a private log entry that only the user and moderator can see.

Can this hack be modified to set permissions on a new thread, and if so how?

[Abe1]

It uses the permissions of the forum to send the message to.

[mrgrimes]

So I'd need a different form for every user?

[Abe1]

No. You say the form should send to Forumid 1.

Forumid 1 has permissions on what you want. The new thread with use thoughs permissions.

[mrgrimes]

Then I'd need a separate forum for each user? Ideally I want each user within a forum to keep the results of the form private from the other users. I guess this isn't possible?

[Abe1]

Yes it's possable. Set the forum's permissions that only the thread starter can see a thread. If you didn't start it, then you wont see it. You can change this for each usergroup so you can have your mods and admins see the threads.

[mrgrimes]

Of course! Excellent, I'll give that a go. Very many thanks.

[ca99uk]

Is there a way to get subscription working with this. Ive got a problem where if a user submits a thread to a forum using this form the global subscription wont work. Please can someone help with this, as I really like the hack, but really need users to get email notifications to replys to threads that they have started with this form.

????

Many thanks.

[Abe1]

I'll have to look into it.

[ChrisBaktis]

I want to include a link to a form in the postbit....

My question - is there a way that when I click on the link the the username of the post i was in will become one of the variables for output?

ill try to make it clear...

I run a trading site...if I go to post made by User X and click on the link I want User X's username to be a variable in the form as the person I trade with (etc User X will become $normalquestion1).

Any idea?

[ca99uk]

I'll have to look into it.

Thanks Abe1

[Titam]

I have problem with the first "blank area".

I just install this hack, i juste quote //normalquestion1

and when i go there, i have blank text area without any question http://forums.hollinae.com/newthread.php?do=form

and I didn't found where i can delete it

[phill2003]

Hi,


This is great and i have it working a treat but for one thing.


I would like the thread title to be what the user inputs for the first variable, you see i am trying to use this as a way of letting users post news to my front page.


I have been trying for 2 hours to get it to work but i'm no good at this stuff and am just guessing really could someone please point out how i would go about it.

I sorted it out, In the incredibly unlikely event that someone else has this problem here is how i fixed it,

In this part

if ($formforum == "1")
{
$foruminfo = verify_id('forum', $formforumid, 0, 1);
$forumperms = fetch_permissions($foruminfo[forumid]);
$newpost['username'] =& $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
$newpost['message'] =& $formsend;
$newpost['title'] =& $normalquestion1;
$newpost['parseurl'] = '1';
$newpost['emailupdate'] = '9999';


I changed this $newpost['title'] =& $normalquestion1; to this.

$newpost['title'] =& $normalanswer1;


Simple really but after 11 hours of doing things to the site it took a while to realise...

Is there any way to add a Preview to the form?
Not right now.
Please put this on your 'to do' list if you have one. A preview would be a useful addition.
Thanks.

[ChrisBaktis]

I want to include a link to a form in the postbit....

My question - is there a way that when I click on the link the the username of the post i was in will become one of the variables for output?

ill try to make it clear...

I run a trading site...if I go to post made by User X and click on the link I want User X's username to be a variable in the form as the person I trade with (etc User X will become $normalquestion1).

Any idea?

anyone?

[Sarcoth]

I've put at least 8 hours into this now and just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to design my own form and keep running into problems. I've tested various changes.

I have copied the form plugin, added and new one, copied the data into the new one and renamed the form. I was able to successfully get into the new form (http://sacredhaven.org/vanguard/forums/newthread.php?do=enlist) with no problems.

1) I removed the following from the plugin:

Part 1: 'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
Part 2: $normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];
Question: $normalquestion1 = "What is the meaning to life?";

Part 2: $normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];

The question was gone, but the box to type the answer was still there, so I continued a little further.

2) I changed the following:

$maintemplate = "form_enlist";
$answertemplate = "formanswers_enlist";

I copied the form and formanswer templates, added new ones with the names form_enlist and formanswers_enlist. I haven't gone in to change the data yet because just by making this change, the page loads to a blank empty page now.

This is very frustrating. Can anyone assist?

[Freesteyelz]

1. You'll need to remove the entries for $normalanswer1 in the form and answer templates.

2. Are you getting a blank page or does an error show? If the latter, what is the error.

[Sarcoth]

I removed the following from the form_enlist template:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="3">
<b>$normalquestion1</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" colspan="3">
<input type="text" size="30" name="normalanswer1" />
</td>
</tr>


I removed the following from the formanswers_enlist template:

$normalquestion1
$normalanswer1



Still coming up as a blank page, so something else must be happening. :(

Here's the link to the form: http://sacredhaven.org/vanguard/forums/newthread.php?do=enlist


Have I done something wrong or perhaps another plugin is messing this up.

I'm using the following plugins:
Form Hack 3.3
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads 1.20
vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0
Welcome Headers 4.0.6

-------------------------------------
Edit: Just an fyi, the original form that comes with the form hack plugin is working fine from what I can tell.

http://sacredhaven.org/vanguard/forums/newthread.php?do=form

It becomes a blank page when I change the path over to the form_enlist template from what I can tell. And, if I try to use the regular form template and remove the generalquestion and generalanswer parts, it still gives me an empty box in the form. I'm lost.

[Sarcoth]

Well, I figured it out. /SIGH

Seems I was altering the Hack Form for my Darkness style but I had my style set to a test style. I went into my options and changed it back to Darkness and it's working.

Oh well, it's always the simple things. Awesome Hack, thank you!

Can anyone get subscription working with this? This works great and would be the perfect solution for my problem if I could get subscription working. Unforutunatly when a user makes a new thread using the form, subscription does not work. =(

Any ideas??

Thanks.

FORM HACK FEATURES REQUEST NOW!

I am in middle up updating this hack. If there is a feature you want that is not mentioned in this post, post it now.

Preview – 100% done
WYSIWYG Editor – Fully working now
Subscriptions – 0% done

hmm I've been using this for quite some time now to post membership requests but for some reason when I tried to add PMing and E-mailing of the form those two don't work. I am the one filling out the form and I have permission to e-mail and PM so it's not a permissions thing.... at least I dont' think. It still posts to the same forum that it always did so I'm not sure whats wrong... any advice?

Is that good?

We need PayPal button to use this as a registration form. We want to have fill-in boxes for user information, vehicle information and then the option to send the form by email AND payPal the membership fee, or send the fee by USPS.:rolleyes:

They are already. $bbuserinfo[username]

Im not sure on how to have the username of the member that posted the post I was just on to carry over to the form...can you explain?

I dont want my name in that area - I want the members name that wrote the post to appear there.

Right, use: $bbuserinfo[username] in the answer template.

[BioVader]

OK if I can get this answered I think I will be able to go from there once I see how the code is changed... First I want my form only to be filled out by registered users SO that when they open the form their username is automatically placed in the subject bar. Then when they submit their app and it directs to the selected forum, we can see who the app is from via the subject line. I would also like to add a one other answer from the form to the subject line but I think if I see how to added the username I can figure out how to do the second part.

Ex: Membership Application: [username] <answer1>

use the var. $bbuserinfo['username']

Like this? I've tried putting it right after Membership App and get errors.. This way errors out too..

$formtitle = "Membership Application";

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//TITLE OF THREAD/POST/PM/EMAIL (do not use quotation marks in the title or you will get a parse error)
//You may use variables from the form for this.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$posttitle = "$formtitle $bbuserinfo['username']";

[ChrisBaktis]

I dont think you are following what im asking for....$bbuserinfo [username] is going to be the person that is actually filling out and submitting the form. As it is now I do use that already - I use it so the form logs ME as one of the traders.

this is part of my Answer form

Trade/Sale Between: $bbuserinfo[username] / $normalanswer1


$bbuserinfo[username] logs me as one of the traders - and $normalanswer1 is the other trader (whos name I have to type in when filling out the form)

what I want to do is have a link in a post - when I click that link I want the form to assign $normalanswer1 as the person who's post I just clicked the link from. I cant see how $bbuserinfo[username] will do that. The form is (as it is) will not assign $normalanswer1 as the name of the author of the post.

I dont know how else to explain it.

So you want a link to that user you write in?

[ChrisBaktis]

I run a trading site....what I want to do is have a link in all the posts that you click that will take you to the form. This form is how we post trades.

the postbit would have this 'Post A Trade With Member X' - Member X would be the username of the person who made that post...(i have this setup) - now when you click that link it takes you to the form and makes Member X one of the variables.

Im trying to avoid members having to type in the person they are trading with...just figured it would be easier that if they clicked the link in member x's post that member x would become one of the variiables - this would prevent members not typing in the actual username and it would eliminate typing mistakes for the person you are trading with.

It's possable.

Request tha the poster put the userid of the other person in the form also. Then, make a url tag in the answer template using the userid.

[ChrisBaktis]

im looking for this to be done automaticly - it would actually be more work for a member to look up a members user id then input it...

Im looking for this to be automated but it doesnt appear to be a way to do it.

Can this hack be used to create forms that are located outside vBulletin (eg on a page on a different website)? (Sorry if this has been asked before: I thought I'd seen a similar post but I've searched through this thread and can't find anything.)

[BioVader]

Ok I want to start over again... Same type of thing though. This time the user will open up the "Membership Application" and they will fill out the form.

The default forum title when they open the form is "Membership Application". What I would like to have happen is when they hit the submit form button, I would like the forum title to change to "Membership Application: <question2> <question1>"

So if they answered question1 with Submarine and question2 with Yellow, the new subject line when submitted would read,

Membership Application: Yellow Submarine (doable?)

Just to clarify: this means I can't use take the content of an external form and post it into vBulletin using this hack?

[Abe1]

This hack gives you a form to add info into vb.

[mrgrimes]

Yes, but can it be tweaked so that the info can be added to vB from a form hosted elsewhere? Currently the form itself has to be located in a thread within vBulletin; I would like to be able to put the form in a news item of an external page but for the results to be posted to a thread within vBulletin.

[Renae]

I really like this, it makes something that I was trying to do very convenient.

HOWEVER, I am not a php genius (I use python a lot) so when you say "DO NOT USE QUOTATION MARKS AS IT WILL CAUSE A PARSE ERROR" that is not very descriptive. I thought that meant DO not use any quotation marks at all, when in reality it means only use them once. I finally saw SULLY02's post which explained this a little better.

[Abe1]

Version 3.4: (04/05/2006)

[FIXED] Removed extra line from template.
[ADDED] WYSIWYG editor now works besides the regular editor.
[ADDED] Preview.
[CHANGED] Subscriptions now take from user default setting.


It's hard to upgrade if you made lots of template changes. There are many changes to the template do to the preview feature.

[CremeEgg]

I'm going to be using this form for Guild Applications, I have a couple of questions.

New applicants won't be registered on the site so can I remove the section that takes the vB username?

Secondly, the editor doesn't appear for anyone that isn't logged in, any ideas why? When I test the form as a logged in user the editor works fine, as a guest you just get a text input box.

EDIT: One last thing (honest) when I tried to add 8 choices to the drop down menu question, I only got the first 3 appear (I'm a real newbie to all this) did I do something wrong with the variables?

To remove or add things, you have to edit the templates also.

VB by default doesn't allow unregistered users to use the editor. They just see a plain box.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have another play about tonight see if I can get it all sussed out.

New to all things vB and have a very demanding WoW Guild that want lots from their site, so steep learning curve.

After applications it's time to tackle some form of DKP system, just wish someone would integrate eqDKP and vB.

[Necser]

This is a great hack! I would like to know if anyone seen a hack to allows you to update the thread through the form.

This hack is the first step: To submit the thread through form.

Can it be done that you go to the thread and the user by clicking "edit" will get the same form that he/she submitted before with already filled up fields from the thread? Then the user edits the test in the form and saves this into the thread.

Cheers!

[PsiNyde]

yeah i liked this too. installed.

one big suggestion [and i've seen that it's been covered here in support, buuuut] - put the template & plugin edits required for field and option changes in the readme - it's quite sparse and doesn't cover nearly what it should. it took me a couple of hours to find all the variables that needed changing when i edited input fields/questions. even the plugin doesn't explain it very well [per instructions]. it would just be easier on everybody if everything needed to customize this was annotated in the package. ;) THANKS!

hmm, ok I figured out why the fields didnt stay. I see you added a value= in the boxes within the template. Damn that was a pain to upgrade but its done and working perfect. Thank ya very much for that addition.

[RDX1]

Any idea what's wrong with mine?

[ChiliVB]

Version 3.4: (04/05/2006)

[FIXED] Removed extra line from template.
[ADDED] WYSIWYG editor now works besides the regular editor.
[ADDED] Preview.
[CHANGED] Subscriptions now take from user default setting.
It's hard to upgrade if you made lots of template changes. There are many changes to the template do to the preview feature.

Abe1,

Would you mind giving me an example of the impact for upgrading. I don't want to cause any downtime for my primary form when I upgrade.

I'm thinking it might be best to install this as a "new" hook and not overwrite and so a custom "answer" template can be created in parallel without causing disruption?

Also is it only the answer template that needs "lots of changes" or also the mainhook for the form.
