Sorry I misunderstood you. I don't know why it is disabled. I don't know how to enable it either. I wish the people that posted these hacks would come in once and a while and support them. I will look at it some but I don't know if I can figure it out.

thanks anyway attroll, you're cool
i really need this

it's working now!!!
i'd like to know how to add a message when you forget to add a title. I mean the popup that goes like "please add a title" and wouldn't let you submit the form.

Anyone figure out how to make it so that when in a specific forum and the new thread button is clicked, the forum is brought up?

Thank you attroll and Brundlefly for you help :)

I now have the form working exactly as I would like it to, except for one thing:
How can I change the poll title?

Thanks again :D

how can i add post icons to the form???

Ok, wtf. Where are these freakin' "templates" you are talking about?
I imported the "hook" I have a PHP file, that i edited correctly i believe. (the two top parts)
And then modified the individual questions.
But no sign of any "templates".
The readme.txt isn't very comprehensive.

Look in your ADMINCP-->Styles & Templates

Thank You, Finally got it working.

Hey, for some reason when I edit the formanswers template, html formatting is not working, I can actually see the tags.. is there somewhere I have to enable html in posts?

a want the popup that goes like: please write something
but i think this is java on the template, right?

Anyone? :confused:

Can't you change it just like you do with any other poll in the forums.

I can, but what I mean is:
At the moment the poll question/title is automatically set as the title of the thread, I however would like for it to be automatically set to something else.

Thanks for getting back to me :)

I am confused as to why you want a poll in a form in the first place? If a person wants users to reply to polls and to vote in them then why aren?t they posting them in the forums? Why do they want to post them in a form?

Don?t take this wrong I am just asking.

No offence taken.

I am using the form for application purposes, I run a gaming clan.
If someone wants to join my clan the must apply - using the form.

When they post the form, the form gets posted into a private forum which only current clan members can view. They can then see the new application, comment on it, and vote in the poll whether or not they want to let the user join or not.

At the moment however, it's not entirely clear what the poll is there for so they all comment on the applications saying they want them in the clan or not, but nobody uses the poll lol :D

I am having a lot of trouble customizing this to what I need. Can the coder or anyone else for that matter make it to what I need please? I will give you exactly what I need if anyone is willing to do it for me. Thanks!

I'm using this hack for the exact same purpose in one of our applications. The way probably around your issue is to form the post title in a way that corresponds to the poll options. The poll title will be the same as the post title. It seems fluid in the way i've done it, example provided;

In the code below. how would I go about sending a post to 2 different forums?

I am trying to get this to post to both a regular section of the forums and to a private section.

[edit]==== Nevermind, i just un-installed and re-installed.

Works now. I must have deleted something by mistake on first try.

If it is not a lot I will look at it for you and see if I have time to do this. Let me know what you want it to do. Like I said if it is not a lot to do then I will try when I have free time.

I searched but not good enough cause i am still lost on this. How can i make it when the form is used after user submits it... the title $posttitle is the title of the thread. I get this default message everytime i create a thread. :(

If you need more info, please PM me or post here. It's getting late out for me.

It is in this thread a couple of times. You can start reading here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...81#post1368881.

That's too complicated - I failed to customize fields. :(

Thanks for that link. I just managed to get everything working the way i want it to. (Well untill i create another form.. lol)

Have a great holiday and time for me to get on the road.

This is a very good hack, but I need to pass on this warning. Do not create too many different forms, they will kill the server.

We have our own server, quite a good one, and this evening the server load hit 40.

I have been using this hack to make separate forms for our car sales forum, a total of about 30, one for each model of Volvo car. I noticed that as I created each new plugin the server response got slower. It was not until I disabled all the forms plugins that the server load went back to normal.

Bob

Good thinking, thanks :rolleyes:

I was looking for a way to set the timelimit a poll, using this hack should run. Forgive me if I missed it in previous posts. I've come up with a way to do this for each form hack that is running. All of the below changes are accomplished in the hook.

after
add
Where 10 is the number of days you choose to end the poll

after
add
If you have a Default Poll Timeout set on all created polls, the above changes will overide that setting.

I really hope I didn't recreate what already had been figured out.

will this hack work on 3.7?

3.7 is not out yet so I don't know how anyone can answer your question yet.

Oi mate, you really gotta make thsi hack easier to work with, maybe a bit normal.. lol

I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for in the 51 pages of comments here, so I'll post: Is there a way to put this form in a thread? I'd like to have a sticky thread with a few links for online support resources, and then right there in the post, the form to request support. I'm not familiar enough with vBulletin (or certainly this mod) to determine if Form Hack can do such a thing.

Thanks.

Perhaps editing the forum properties will get you close to what you want.

Goto:
Forums and Moderators
Forum Manager
Click to edit the forum
Enter the form URL using Forum Link

I cant get this thing to make a thread. i followed i think page 10 and put this under Forum display
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == 16">
<!-- controls above thread list -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?do=form" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls above thread list -->
</if>

when i make the form it says the right message but doesnt post anywhere. Someone please help me

Ive installed this hack and its great, but the vb editor box doesnt show the icon for the attachment manager (to easily place attachments inline with the text of the post)

Anyone else notice this or have this issue ?

Yea I did that, this is my coding, I havent changed any of the coding.

In this forum you have titled "Buy a Piece" with a forum id of 16 do you have the forum permissions set for each user group so that they are allowed to post new threads to this forum?

Yea, but it has to be accepted by a mod before it will show up. I also have the new thread link directed to where it will go str8 to the form page and than Im wanting it to be posted in that forum.

This is awesome but it would be even awesomer :) if these things could be modified through the ACP rather than within the code.
