vb.org Archive - New Posting Features

I've looked through the XML file and found a way for a radio option to assign a thread prefix. Here's the code I added, if anyone else is interested:

Find:

PHP Code:


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

Below Add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($radiochoice2a == $radioanswer2)

           { 

           $newpost['prefixid'] = '7';

           }

Modify the conditional to your needs, obviously, or add a second or third one, depending on how many prefixes you're using. You'll need to get the prefix IDs from the admin panel's prefix list page.

Ok I fixed it finally. I still need help on some questions.

1) How can I bold the questions once they're posted?
2) How can I set it so the title of each thread includes the applicant's forum name?
3) How do I add two more drop down boxes next to an existing question? Like I've said previously I want to do month, day, and year in a row.
4) Is there anyway to prevent a person from submitting a application more than once?

Update: I had to turn off guest image verification in order for this to work for guests...

same here, but it doesn't bother me, cause guests aren't allowed to post in the forum.

Strange thing is, that in 4.1 and the versions before the messagearea with the vb editor doesnt work at all, even in the standard template of this mod.

Registered users only, I don't allow guests to use the form.

If I try to add bbcode to the answers form I get this:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3716) : eval()'d code on line 4

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Also, not sure if anyone knows but hitting the Reset button on the form does nothing.

Works pretty good in 3.7.2, however it's SPAMORAMA on my 2 forums... I will probably have to remove this if there is no spam protection option.

I'm not sure how to implement it into the form, is there a readme?

Also, is there a way to limit users (registered only) from using the form more than once in a set period of time?

It seems to be on the right track, but he never got it to work.

Hrmm - close, but no cigar unfortunately. This guy is only adding code (unsuccessfully) to have the form post in two places upon submitting.

Quote:

Dropdown Forum posting {3}

Unfortunately, this is essentially the same code that you provided just for a thread instead of a forum. Since I'm wanting to have a new thread created in a specific forum based on the drop-down that's selected, this doesn't really apply to my situation. Thanks though!

Your code seems to be there, it just doesn't allow attachments when it's in there for some strange reason. No clue why though? Maybe I need to take this to the developers forum to get another set of eyes on it?
