I would love to see a fix for this too.

Likewise. Great app tho!

Agreed , although looking at the code I think I'm see where the problem is, but will look at it more tomorrow (too sleepy).

Halp us!

OK, I found a few things that were not working here.. I'll go through them in order as they appear in the product.xml file. You will need to uninstall the product and the reinstall the edited product.xml file once you are done. I tested what I could, but did not test the forum poll or anything like that. The thank you message and redirect to post are working.

I hope this is ok, but I attached the product-new.xml that I modified to get this working on vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1. (Note, if you use my XML, I changed the output color for the Q&A part in the product-xml to be black. If you want to change this color, look for color=black and change it to be whatever color..)

Line 493:
Original Version:
Change to:
Starting at line 661, insert a comment as shown below:
(This is what is causing the redirect to not work, there is an array created called $errors by VB, but it is blank.

Line 693, Comment out lines 693 and 694 (this was preventing the thank you message from displaying if redirect option 0 was selected):
Line 695, Change
TO:
Line 696, Comment out the bracket (this is the terminating bracket to line 665 that is now commented out.
Line 706, Change
TO:

Tried editing my modified .XML, and got errors when accessing the form (no doubt my lack of editing skills), so downloaded your XML, and edited that to include my options.

Works like a charm!

Thanks a million Wintrmte

No problem -- I forgot to mention in my original post that I changed the output colors in the post for the Q&A to be Black instead of neon-green. If you want to change it, look in the product-xml for color=black and change it to what you need it to be.

Sweede, great work as always.

I do have a suggestion: Is it possible to have the character name also provide a link to their Guild Exes page?
http://www.warcraftrealms.com/guildexes/

In recruiting people we sometimes like to take a peek at their guild history to see where they have been, and it would be nice to have another link on their application that would provide easy access to something like that.


Wintrmte, you rock! Thanks for the Fix! I know Sweede gets busy at times and can't always update/fix right away.

I have checked, checked and rechecked the xml and there is NO color=black in the document, could you please tell me how to change the color back to the original? I have tried looking through both the old and the new and my coding skills are 0 so I cant find what to change back.

Please if you provide a find/replace include the whole line in it (the find/replace info in your previous post is a little messed up and why it gives errors when used exactly)

Thanks again for the fix

never mind.

OK -- look for where it says "class=black" and replace it with g2 -- that's what the original had in it. That's my fault, I thought it was color=black, but it's actually class=black. My apologies.

but, keep in mind, you can actually edit the Application Form in your templates and change it there and not have to re-import the product-xml.

Wery nice..

only comment, should be made as a blank, so we can use it for anygame
add our own classes and proffesions depending on game.

would also make it useable in the furture,, or are we allowed to modify the code entirely ?

do whatever you need. would be nice to post your modifications back in this thread, you know, all GPL like and all.

You need to apply the prefixes to the correct forum to fix your issue.

However, sweede I am having a similar problem in that the Graveyard does not display. I see in the app tools where to assign a prefix but not the graveyard button. Any hints there?

EDIT*************

Fixed my own problem. Your graveyard code was commented out I noticed. I uncommented and it worked just fine. However, for others out there the forum IDs are hardcoded so make sure to set them before importing.

I seem to be having issues with the most recent version, it's not posting the applications to the correct forum.

Is this just me?

My bad, i had hardcoded the post to forum id on accident.

it's fixed now and will follow the vbulletin option.

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

wHEN I ACCEPT IT APPEAR THIS PLS HELP

are you using 0.3.1 ? you need to check your set your vbulletin options to the forum you want the apps to be posted to.

where do i download the latest version????

cause i edited it dun work

Umm....

this thread ?

dude is there any otehr way without editting the file and can accept the thread application..

Upgraded this product to the latest version... didn't like how it jacked up the forum post, so i uninstalled and reverted back to the prior version. Now, regardless of which version I use (and i have re-tried them all) I get the following error:

Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in [path]/newthread.php(74) : eval()'d code on line 225
Called eval in [path]/newthread.php on line 74
in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 235

Any ideas what has gone wrong?

Thanks for the add-on sweede.

I like it, easy to edit and looks cool.

I only noticed 1 issue.
The App tool is not working for us when we use Firefox. (Firefox/3.0.5)
We can see the options like "Approved", "Best of" ect.. but whatever we click, we only can select the option that is on top.

When we try to same with IE7 its working like it should be.
But this just for your info, dont think we will use it anyway.

Thanks for the great work on this addon... I seem to be having another issue (not addon breaking tho)

I seem to get the Apptools drop down menu twice, but only the farthest left works.

It basically the drop down links look like this...

| Apptools \/ \/ | Apptools | Thread tools \/ |

Thnx for this one, really appreciate it =)

As you can see by taking a look at the image I included I've managed to modd the plugin lightly to change questions and layout slightly, however, something I have not been able to change is the layout of the "Questions and Answers" in the preview and ultimately not in the submitted application.

What I would like to see is an addition of a line break after each of them questions somehow but I have been unable to solve the issue.

I do however suspect this part of the code to be the "villain":

unfortunately I've got limited php skills to make sure every question/answer is followed by line breaks that are accepted when entering them into the vb-database...

Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

I'm totally confused

In the preivew and the forum post, you want a line break after the answer before the next question?

That's done in the newthread_start plugin.

Look around line 126 in the plugin code
$comment_boxes .= '</td><td valign="top">';

changing it to
$comment_boxes .= '<br /></td><td valign="top">';

may do what you want

I havent figured out a way to template that bit of logic yet, so it's a little.. wonkey.

Thank you, but what this does is adding a line break only in the form itself and not at the actual preview. Where exactly do you build the questions and answers variable that is ultimately inserted into the database as "the message"?

Edit*
Actually I think I found out something, by editing line 140 to look like this:
I get the preview to print <br /> after each of the answers, the problem now seems to be the fact that in the process of inserting the message into the database the message is stripped of any html code... or something, what do you think? ^^

try adding
$guild_app_answer_aq_message .= "<br />";

after
eval('$guild_app_answer_qa_message .= "' . fetch_template('App_Question_Answer') . '";');

nope, not even showing up as <br />

I tried adding several <br /> along with some XX to see if anything got included like this:
$guild_app_answer_aq_message .= "<br />XX<br />XX<br />XX<br />";

but alas... nothing shows up, copare with my previous post where I at least see the <br /> printed in the preview ^^

Edit*
Woot!? XD Problem solved, I ventured into the template fetched at line 140 fetch_template('App_Question_Answer'). By hitting "return" on my keyboard at the end of the template I get the preview to show what I want it to show =)

Thnx for the help ^^

Sorry to bother you again but I've ran into another problem.

Using the "app mover" while browsing the topic in order to Deny or Accept it is not working for me, well, it is partially working: I can assign forums and names for the radio buttons, I see the "Tool" while browsing the application topic and I can move the application, however - I am unable to select any but the first option to move to if you get what I mean?

(a simple grafic presentation of the problem)
*App Mover*
- Accept (this one works)
- Deny (I can't select this)
- Trash (I can't select this)

To work around this I could simply move all apps to the same forum and make sure to reply/change the subject or whatever but if you have the time I'd appreciate if you could have a look at this. The thought of being able to move the app to any destination just like that is thrilling ^^

Edit*
I changed the input type to instead be a checkbox, by doing this I am now able to first click the option I want and then remove the automaticaly selected first option... It's slightly barbaric but it works, perhaps this is a clue that could help you sort this out? (or yes, might just as well be my set-up but if it's related to new changes in vB hope this helps ^^ )

LittleB@

For the line break after each answer and to get your next question on a new line you have to open your template "App_Question_Answer"

go to the end of the second line, this should be and hit the enter key.
save your template and check your form, this did do the trick for me.

Yea thnx, already figured out that one myself ;)

found this problem,
The App_Mover template should be

and the dropdown works as it should

for some reason, my apps no longer are using the character BBcode when they get posted or previewed?

I am using the latest Version (0.3.2), I have already uninstalled it and re-installed
your character BBCODE (0.4.9b...although it still says 0.4.9a in my admin panel, not sure why as I have uninstalled completely and re-installed a few times) is fully functional on my site (I also tried re-installing that too)
I am guessing something might be off in App_Form_CharacterInfo ?

This is using vbulletin 3.8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated, not sure what happened as it used to work fine, I might be overlooking something simple, I dunno.

I removed that. it was kind of silly to include bbcode specific to another mod that may not be used on every forum.

you would simply need to change the 2nd line of the App_Answer template to

[char="$current_server"] $character_name [/char]

Sure works, you are the man! Thnx a lot =)

I have a fixed width and for some reason the application is staying the same width which is wider than 1000px (which is the fixed width of my board) so can anyone help me please?

Dan

I had to update a couple things but it will be better with one template edit.

Import the new 0.3.3 version and edit the textarea cols attribute in the App_Question_box template (for 1000px fixed width, try cols="60")

awesome it was col=55 thanks Sweede!

one thing though the border is slightly off?
