Can someone explain this statement?

Code:

if condition="$dropdownchoice2d == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>

In the context of:

Code:

<option value="$dropdownchoice2d" <if condition="$dropdownchoice2d == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice2d</option>

This 'if' statement is there so the preview can work good. If it's selected when you click 'preview', it will also be selected.

//USERNAME TO PM TO (separate multiple usernames with a ';')
$formpmname = "SeQual";

Instead of putting
$formpmname = "user1;user2;user3";

I wanne put a variable in there
$formpmname = "$pmmembers";

But the people in the variable don't get a pm, only works if I put the usernames in manually.

The variable is correct tho, when I show variable in the form itself (form from newthread_start) it shows the usernames.

Members this will get pm'd to: SeQual;user1;user2

(SeQual;user1;user2 is in variable $pmmembers)

any idea's? :)

Abe I could really use a hand here, Im going nuts trying to figure this out.

Im using this mod to post a form to my forums and it works great with no issues. However I recently decided it would be nice if the form created a second thread/post in a different forum. I made the following modifications to the original plugin. Essentially I just duplicated all the variables and code used in the default plugin responsible for creating the post which I know works and modified a few variables. With all my modifications the original code continues to work but the duplicated code refuses to post in the second forum. I cant understand why since its exactly the same code. Any thoughts?

Code:

// Name of the main template

$maintemplate = "wow_appform";

// Name of the answer template

$answertemplate = "wow_apppostcandidate";

// Name of template to be posted to journal forum

$journaltemplate = "wow_apppostjournal";

Code:

//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 = "141";

$journalforumid = "140";

Code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//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.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



$posttitle = "$bbuserinfo[username] Recruitment Application";

$journaltitle = "$bbuserinfo[username] Journal";

Code:

    eval('$formsend = "' . fetch_template("$answertemplate") . '";');

    eval('$journalsend = "' . fetch_template("$journaltemplate") . '";');

Code:

        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'] =& $posttitle;

            $newpost['parseurl'] = '1';

            $newpost['poststarttime'] = $poststarttime;

            $newpost['posthash'] = $posthash;



            if ($vbulletin->userinfo['autosubscribe'] != -1)

            {

                $newpost['emailupdate'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['autosubscribe'];

            }

            else

            {

                $newpost['emailupdate'] = 9999;

            }



            if ($vbulletin->userinfo['signature'] != '')

            {

                $newpost['signature'] = '1';

            }

            else

            {

                $newpost['signature'] = '0';

            }



            build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), array(), $newpost, $errors);



            $foruminfo = verify_id('forum', $journalforumid, 0, 1);

            $forumperms = fetch_permissions($foruminfo[forumid]);

            $newpost['username'] =& $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

            $newpost['message'] =& $journalsend;

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

            $newpost['parseurl'] = '1';

            $newpost['poststarttime'] = $poststarttime;

            $newpost['posthash'] = $posthash;



            if ($vbulletin->userinfo['autosubscribe'] != -1)

            {

                $newpost['emailupdate'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['autosubscribe'];

            }

            else

            {

                $newpost['emailupdate'] = 9999;

            }



            if ($vbulletin->userinfo['signature'] != '')

            {

                $newpost['signature'] = '1';

            }

            else

            {

                $newpost['signature'] = '0';

            }



            build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), array(), $newpost, $errors);



        }

Well wouldnt you know it. After fighting with things for 4 hours, I figured out the problem about 5 minutes after I posted here for help. I had my minimum time between posts option set to 15 which was bouncing the second post. Disabling that option let both posts go through.

My question happens to be basic PHP/HTML, but since I'm not a developer, I can't figure out the issue.

I'm trying to associate values (numeric) based on a selection of a dropdown. The numeric variable is associated to a thread ID wherease the dropdown selection is a recognizable name.

Here's the default code:

Code:

<select name="dropdownanswer1">

<option value="$dropdownchoice1a" <if condition="$dropdownchoice1a == $dropdownanswer1">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice1a</option>

</select>

I need to change it to something like:

Code:

<option value="$dropdownthreadID" <if condition="$dropdownchoice1a == $dropdownanswer1">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice1a</option>

Where:
$dropdownthreadID = 100
$dropdownchoice1a = Monday

These variables are called within a newthread_start plugin.

Code:

//EXISTING THREAD ID FOR FORM TO REPLY IN

$formreplythreadid = "$dropdownanswer1";

Here's the problem: I can't seem to figure out how to call the named variable (Monday) when the form is submitted. Instead, I get the numerical value. Perhaps it's just a simple IF statement I need to add that writes Monday into another variable. However, I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated!

Great mod! I change some variable and put my own html over it and it works wonders!

Is it possible to insert an IF statement in the Answers form? If so, please tell me how.

Anyone know how I can pass some of the variables into the thread title?

<a href="http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/newthread.php?do=poker_article_submit" target="_blank">Installed</a>! Great hack.

Can I prepopulate any elements? I'd particularly like to pre-populate the vb text area input box. I want to put a template in there, so taht users format article submissions correctly.
