Can you create Multiple forms with this?

Yes, you have to create a different form (and formanswers) template and also a plugin product for each one.

for some reason if i add more than 3 questions they dont show up any idea why ? this part of the form

$question1 = "What is your name?";
$explain1 = "Please enter your real name here.";

//QUESTION 2 (do not use quotation marks or you will get a parse error, besides the quotes around the whole text)
$question2 = "What is your online game name?";
$explain2 = "Please enter your online game name here.";

//QUESTION 3 (do not use quotation marks or you will get a parse error, besides the quotes around the whole text)
$question3 = "What is your birth date?";
$explain3 = "Please enter your birthe date here.";

//QUESTION 4 (do not use quotation marks or you will get a parse error, besides the quotes around the whole text)
$question4 = "What is your email address?";
$explain4 = "Please enter your email address here.";

YOu have to edit the template also.

nice work thanks i like it alot

Hello Abe,

Thank you very much for your hack which will be useful for many of us.

I'd like to know if your hack could be used in a way I've described here, and what changes would it need ?

Note that what I described there was just an idea, but your design seems to be as convenient.

Hi Abe,
I have modified the form to allow the attachements, and that works (in that it allows me to add attachments). I have also re-modified the formanswers template from the original, although I don't see any reference to attachments in that.
No attachments are appearing in the preview. What am I doing wrong, please?

ok, that sounds kinda hard. Do I just alter the original plugin product and change a few things?
If so what things?

Can you please help me, i am getting this error message:

I have only changed the titles of the questions, i havent changed anything else.

Ignore my previous question. I just found the instructions lol

ETA: Can the form be customised to have a lot of input box and fields?

ETA (again): How would I change the navbar in php? I want it so it says
board name - usercp - usercp page - form

Does this (the questions etc.) have to be done in php? can't it be done in the template?

any idea?

Can I use the hack to creat a vbulletin.org style threads?

I want to enable a specific usergroup to use the form for the first post of a thread (post a software review in my case in a predefined format) and then enable all other users to reply to that post.

How the edit post is done?? will I be able to use the form to edit posts done with the form.

Oh and I want to remove the toolbar and stuff from around the message area how would I do that? Because I can't see it anywhere where it says to do that. . .

Ok I've installed the hack so I guess it would be possible to reach my goal.
Unfortunately, I think it would be to hard for me.

But, most of all, it would need, IMHO, just one improvement.

It should be possible to call this hack from an existing thread with a special button like "Post Reply" or "New Thread", which could be named "Quote a received e-mail"

Oh god! Upgraded forum to 3.6.1 and now getting this error when posting the form:
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /incoudes/functions_newpost on line 352

what does it say on 352 of that file?

I could use some help with this section of the form as well.

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newpost_process')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Attachments dont show up on the preview but are still there when you click preview.

What an excellent hack!! I'll need to install this and start testing. Thanks!!

Hopefully the coder will know whats wrong with this, because I don't sorry :(

-----
Has their been any idea how any of these can be done?

Thanks

Hey Abe,

Any progress on this? Thanks =)

Ahhh. Just what I need!

Thanks.

Personally I see this as one of the great hacks....
next step should be someone rais it to the next level by
writing an external wysiwyg editor enhancement to
auto generate the forms and proper hooks and answer pages.

How can I use BB code for formanswers?? Can I get an example?

In other words,
I want the question headings to be bold when posted to a thread.

in the formanswers template, make your code look like this

You can also do this:

or

Thanks, I tried the obvious, but received an error message. I'll try the suggestions above.

A WYSIWYG editor would put this hack over the top!

I have yet another question I'm hoping be answered with relative ease. Is it possible to add a drop down menu to a form that posts either a new thread or reply to a thread in a specific form based on the selection of the drop down?

Example: Selections could be The Lounge, vBulletin Discussions, Service Requests, etc. Submitting the form would create the thread in the drop down selection. Thanks!!

I imagine it's not as simple as:

$formforumid = "$dropdownanswer1";

I need a way of associating the selection to a forumID. Thanks again!

Ok, My forms are done I just need this edit and then I'm tottally done.

How would I change the navbar in php? I want it so it says
board name - usercp - usercp page - form

I've tried various ways of getting this to work, and all I get is some wierd errors...

I have PM'd Abe1, but have yet to hear anything back.
If you would like to Collab on it, let me know.

There is a WYSIWYG editor already.

I dont have time to write up all the info. Basicly make sure you are using the right varible. It has to be imported the same way as all other answers are imported.

Yes, I meant for the forms.

There is a WYSIWYG editor in the form. What are you talking about????

:) Apologies, we're missing each other....I know there's a WYSIWYG editor when you're entering/submitting information within a form. But it would be great to have one when creating the forms. (form and formanswers in addition to the separate plugin/hook that needs to be created)

I know it's probably a huge task to undergo something like this.

Can you help us figure out the drop down box question?

so I need to have the forumID in the answer templates?

I didn't put it in there because I thought it wouldnt matter, I will try what I was doing last time and see if I can get it to work.

Does this ONLY work on 3.6?

I think if you try to import this into vb3.5 you may get an error.

Also, I'm not sure the attachments work the same in vb 3.5

Ok, I have tried just about everything I can think of, I get these errors when submitting -

This happens when I have send PM enabled. With my addon's for the drop down forum menu.

Here is a snip of my code I have on my form now.

There is more code after this, this is only the relevent selections.

Form Template additions
Form Answers template
I dont know why it isn't working, I'm sure its something small I have missed, I am using Drop Down choices throughout the form, so I know my coding is correct for that on my form. I'm just not sure where I missed something or what, but maybe this can help someone else out.

I'm also willing to pay for service to help me get this form working with the Drop Down Choice for which form to post to.
