Please advise

I have this working with version 3.6.8 patch 2 with no problem.

I know it WILL work I just don't know why mine wont... I have had like 6 people check it over and no one can figure it out.

I'll take the challenge. Send me a PM with the form and the two templates and I take a look at it.

How do I require attachments or it can't be posted/sent?

Have you tried disabling all your other plugins and then trying it to see if it will work? That would isolate it being one of your other plugins. If it works after you disable all your other plugins then I would enable one at a time and see which one it is interfearing with.

If that is not the casue I would say I will look into it but it looks like Kwikms is going to look into it for you already. If they can not figure it oout let me know. I can not promise anything.

Kwikms, is correct in this statement. Alot of problems can occur from adding in or forgetting to add a ';' or ' " '.

If you still need help, pm me. I can try to assist you. Money is not needed.

How do I remove the dropdown meny and some radio button questions?

You need to edit the following templates :

form
formanswers

To do this open the product-form.xml in a text editor. Find

Code:

<template name="form" templatetype="template"

Look through the code that follows, it is the actual template that sets up the structure of the form. This is the area in which the html code will be for the drop down menu and the radio buttons.

Once you have edited that, find

Code:

<template name="formanswers" templatetype="template"

This template returns the questions and answers from the form. You will need to remove the variables in this template that correspond to the drop down menu and the radio buttons.

Now find

Code:

// Part 1

Remove the lines that correspond to the drop down menu and the radio button that you have removed from the templates. Proceed down the page a bit to

Code:

// Part 2

Again, remove the lines that correspond to the drop down menu and radio buttons.

The next part is optional, but I recommend that you do this -> continue down the page until you find where the radio button variables and drop down menu are set with values. Remove these from the file. No sense in code existing in the file if it is not being used.

is there a way I can add tags through this mod?

Not sure I understand what you mean by "tags". If you are talking about html tags, then yes. You will have to do that via the template "form". Also, some of the variables in the php code section of the xml document can hold html tags as part of the variable definition.

If this doesn't help, then please be more specific with the meaning of "tags".

ok i got an error:

"XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 548"
the line is
"$dropdownanswer3_g = $vbulletin->GPC['dropdownanswer3_g'];"

Any ideas?

It looks like you may be setting up your variables incorrectly. Send your xml file to me, I will take a look at it and see if I can fix it for you.

I think the "$5" could be a problem. User HTML-Code instead.

Been away folks and its good 2 be back and C that this mod by ABE1 is over 900 installs,,, Beauts...

I recently had an accident on the freeway and im still recovering from injuries inflicted by slamming head on into separator...

I'll never buy another V-8 engine :( 2 many headaches... :eek:;)

I will try 2 assist if time permits...

Good Luck 2 ALL...

Hi,

Thanks

Has anyone been able to come up with a solution to have this post in two different forums? I'm in the same boat... I need this form to go to a public section so that the user can comment, but then I need to have that same form be posted to a private section where membership can comment and discuss w/o the user being able to read the comments etc...

Basically a complaint form.

I set up 4 forms and got them all working beautifully. Then after a few weeks, they stopped working. Now, even logged in as admin01, I get the following error (when I try to simply access any of the forms):

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I'm not sure what happened. They only thing I can think of is that I installed vBAdvanced CMPS, passiveVid, and GTUserCP since the forms were working.

Does anybody know what the cause of this problem may be? Is it a conflict with one of the other programs? I don't know where to go from here...

Help!

Here's what I see in the plugin manager for each and every form I've created:

$formforumid = "34";

That forum does exist, and functions normally.

Is that what you were referring to? Not sure where else to look for garbage...

This is a forum that only admins are allowed to view, but I do want users from specified groups to be able to post in that forum. So, in the plugin, I added the usergroups that I want to have access to the form, and for that forum, I allowed those usergroups permission to post but not view.

What am I missing?

So, to reiterate, even admin01 cannot so much as VIEW these forms- permissions errors every time.
:confused:

Did U recently add anything new 2 your products???

Several folks had the same issue and unistalling permission MODs fixed it...

Also could be your usergroup permissions,,, maybe...

Im still recovering from a vehicle accident and haven't done much vbulletin troubleshooting,,, but if time permits and my back getts better, I will post more...

Good Luck 2 ya

Thanks for your reply, Deepdog009.

Besides this Form Hack, I have the following mods installed:

passiveVid
vBAdvanced CMPS
GTUserCP

I just made them inactive but the problem remains.

Perhaps there's something that I need to run in diagnostics or maintenance to get the changes to take?

Nice work. This is what I was looking for.

We had to modify each Form we'd created in vBulletin with the following change (first the original code, then the new code):

ORIGINAL CODE

//USERGROUPS ALLOWED
//You can add or remove usegroups that are ALLOWED to use this form by changing the numbers below in the array.
//To enable this feature, remove the '//' before the 'if'.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['11'], array(5,6,7,11))) print_no_permission();

NEW CODE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//USERGROUPS ALLOWED
//You can add or remove usegroups that are ALLOWED to use this form by changing the numbers below in the array.
//To enable this feature, remove the '//' before the 'if'.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Use the line below to customize the allowed groups access to this form
$allowed_group_ids = array(6,7,11,12,13);

$form_view_permission = false;
$member_group_id_array = explode(',', $vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids']);
if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], $allowed_group_ids)) {
$form_view_permission = true;
}
foreach ($member_group_id_array as $membergroupid){
if(in_array($membergroupid, $allowed_group_ids)){
$form_view_permission = true;
}
}
if ($form_view_permission == false) print_no_permission();

This change allows users to access the Forms if their primary or member group ids match the list specified in the $form_view_permission array.

Thank you very much for this usefull hack

I don't quite understand this step:
#
# Edit the main plug-in - the instructions are all inside the hook itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!

where do I go?

Thanks

Never mind, found it.

Ok. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but my form is not coming up properly.

My form has 16 questions:

4 Radio Questions
7 Long Questions
3 Check Questions
1 Normal Question
1 Question

I've also set my array to match my questions:

Code:

//Part 1

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(

'radioanswer1' => TYPE_STR,

'normalanswer2' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer3' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer4' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer5' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer6' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer7' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer8_1' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer8_2' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer8_3' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer8_4' => TYPE_STR,

'answer9' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer10' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer11' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_1' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_2' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_3' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_4' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_5' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_6' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer12_7' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer13_1' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer13_2' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer13_3' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer13_4' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer13_5' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer13_7' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer14' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer15' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer16' => TYPE_STR

));

And my variables to match the questions as well:

Code:

// Part 2

$radioanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer1'];

$normalanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer2'];

$radioanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer3'];

$longanswer4 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer4'];

$longanswer5 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer5'];

$longanswer6 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer6'];

$checkboxanswer8_1 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer8_1'];

$checkboxanswer8_2 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer8_2'];

$checkboxanswer8_3 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer8_3'];

$checkboxanswer8_4 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer8_4'];

$answer9 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer9'];

$longanswer10 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer10'];

$longanswer11 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer11'];

$checkboxanswer12_1 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_1'];

$checkboxanswer12_2 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_2'];

$checkboxanswer12_3 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_3'];

$checkboxanswer12_4 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_4'];

$checkboxanswer12_5 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_5'];

$checkboxanswer12_6 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_6'];

$checkboxanswer12_7 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer12_7'];

$checkboxanswer13_1 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer13_1'];

$checkboxanswer13_2 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer13_2'];

$checkboxanswer13_3 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer13_3'];

$checkboxanswer13_4 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer13_4'];

$longanswer14 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer14'];

$radioanswer15 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer15'];

$radioanswer16 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer16'];

But, when I view the questionnaire, it looks like the attached image... :confused:

Any suggestions?

Nevermind...I'm just going to un-install this hack. I didn't realize that you had to change templates and change the part of the script where it says "Do not change beyoind this point" to get the thing to work.

Nor did I realize that making a simple form could be made so complicated.

Why? Because all it says is "Edit the main plug-in - the instructions are all inside the hook itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!". Doesn't mention anything about ALL of the other stuff you have to edit. I thought all I might have to do is put questions in and the type of answers I wanted for each question (ie. checkbox, dropdown, textbox, etc.), and that would be it.

Good concept, poor way of going about doing it.

I ended up uninstalling as well. If this could be made into something nice and tidy in the CP with simple input fields then it would be great.

It breaks too often and is just too much WORK on top of running a busy forum.

Fabulous idea, poor implementation for me.

I wouldn't even really classify this as a mod.

It's more or less some code, or a template, and then you have to change all of it to fit what you want it to do.

Folks you've gotta remember that some Hacks take a bit of time 2 perfect,,, and if the Guy or Gal releasing it doesn't have many free hours to invest in them,,, then you must B patient with Modders new releases or updates...

Im sure many Guys and Gals here @ this site have a job and family to tend 2 also...
Sometimes their computer may B down or like me,,, always on the road...

Gotta Go now and Put back on my Ball & Chain...;)

I am wondering, is there another mod available that does the same as this one?

There is for older versions (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=53269) but I think it was abandoned by the previous coder as this is pretty much his script updated to work in 3.6.X.

There is also another one out there based off of this script, but it's made specifically for WoW Clan applications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150424).

please help

I can't seem to get this for to post. It shows up and appears to work fine and gives a thank you message...but it isn't posting in the forum listed...it just does nothing.

Here is my template

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.

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == $formname)
