This tutorial is for anyone who wants to use this nice hack simply for an affiliation form. So enjoy.
Note: Is there anyway these forms are protected against bot flooding? I don't see an option for human input.
BE SURE TO UPLOAD THE PLUGIN BEFORE DOING ALL OF THIS!
Step 1. Create a new plugin: Plugin Manager > Add New Plugin
- Hook Location: newthread_start
- Title: Affiliation Form
- Plugin Code Below (Edit If you wish)
PHP Code:
// To add more then one form, copy this whole text, and creat a new plug-in with the hook location 'newthread_start'.
// After, change the form name. You can't have 2 forms with the same name.
// Name of this form
$formname = "affiliation";
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == $formname)
{
