Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home2/cms/public_html/forums/form1.php on line 214

Any ideas?

proxyMX,
the hack is awesome, but takes you knowing how to edit html to make the forms the way you want. It has a lot of freedom. The form template is just an example of what you can do, you as a webmaster need to make the form specific for your site.

Erwin
gave you the fishing pole the tactle and the gear need to make forms, the exmaples are very clear and easy to install and setup. Rather than flaming the forum/hack try making your form, if you don't know html goto w3schools.com and read it for an afternoon.

Peace

^ditto, yea exactly what he said. :)

proxyMX, this hack works perfectly, and its as user friendly/customizable as it gets around here. but...to say that it "sucks" shows absolutely no class, mind you giving the least amount of credit to the creator of this hack (Erwin)...seriously, was that even necessary? that was not cool... :dead:

Well i just think its been over-rated, its not perfoming as it said it would, i know html and some php, and ive had to edit ALL of the files not just one for it even to display properly, and now the thing dosent even post. ive given up and taken it off

No comments. :)

Erwin, im not dissing you man, you make some great hacks, its just this one dosent do "What is says on the box" Alot of people here have had problems with it posting, and ive had to edit ALL the files just to get one form to display properly.

The instructions say the only file you need to edit is the php file which is nonsense, if you do theres radio buttons etc everywhere, I suppose its because im DESPERATE for a hack like this, and have been waiting for one for quite some time. Instead ive got a half-baked version :(

Erwin, this hack really rocks. I love it..... and I'm using it to create a bunch of forms for different purposes, and even setting up multiple templates to choose from so we can do similar forms for the same function and still vary the layout sometimes, too, (not just changing the variables) so they don't all look the same.

I did run into a problem I can't figure out though...... and I need your help (in a hurry, if you please?)...

On a registration form, our first question asks the member's username. But we have the form fill that in automatically using $bbuserinfo[ username] -- since the system already knows who they are.

But in the third question, we ask them to enter their Player Name (for the event they're registering for). In most cases, the Player Name and their Username are identical. And any time the $answer3 text field matches $bbuserinfo[ username], the silly thing shows up totally blank.

How do I get around this?

Btw.... for the guys having problems getting the forms they want set up the first time. Once you get through that part once or twice, it's really easy to design the custom forms you want, then just rename new files and change the content on your variables every time you use it after that.

As soon as I get this registration thing of mine online, I can show that as an example, along with an expanded version of a moderator application form we're using now. And I'm sure others can help you customize your files/templates how you want them if you tell us what you need.

it's an awesome hack, so far I haven't had any problems, and it does everything my mods needed. It's a real time saver thank you.

Okay, here's a simple one. Frustrating though, because I thought I should be able to figure it out myself... :(

Anyway, when the form posts as a reply to an existing thread, how do I get this to increment the thread's count and mark the post as "new?"
