POSTING 2 FORUMS ??????????????????????????????????

Many ways, but this may help U

For some strange reason, this prevents the attachment feature from showing on the form.

Any ideas why that might happen?

I'm having trouble making it work when I click new thread in my 2 forsale forums to the forum. I have put in the variables. I'm not sure if the form works yet because I can't get the form to link to when I hit new thread. Is this something I'm missing in the setup?

this modification doesn't touch the new thread button. To do that, you need a separate modification.

Abe1 created a modification that would do this already. Just check his profile for that.

Ok thanks for the tip about the templates, that was what I was missing. Now I want to add a question for the following.

Birthday (3 separate drop down boxes next to each other on the same line, can this be auto filled like the forum name?)

Edit: Ok I've added drop downs for State/Province but I've already used a-z & aa-zz so what can I use next? Can I just keep going aaa-zzz or should I switch to numbers?

How can I make sections separate on the form? I want to have a section for personal info, gaming, info, then a longanswer box for final comments.

I also tested the forum and filled in every question, yet when I go to preview it said I didn't answer all the questions.

RedGTiVR6

07-17-2008 08:15 PM

I'd keep using letters.

As for the answers, did you ad them to the answer template as well?

No ideas on the separate section other than perhaps creating multiple forms.

I almost got everything to work on vBulletin 3.7.2, but there are two things that are bugging me which I'll have to get to work before using the form on my site:

1. Can the form have a field through which users can choose a custom thread title?
2. If the forum to which you try linking the form requires thread prefixes, no new threads can be posted through the form. How would I got about having the form automatically add a prefix, or select a prefix based on a radio button choice or dropdown?

RedGTiVR6

07-18-2008 02:03 AM

To get the form to have a thread title which is essentially a field, just change $posttitle = $whateveransweryouwant ($answer1 or $longanswer1 or $dropdownanswer1, etc.)

Same as above.

For instance, on our forum, the thread title is generated as the following:

$posttitle = "$dropdownanswer2 - $dropdownanswer1 - $answer2";

Is there a way to have the dropdown menu selections be a variable? I have a need for a variable length dropdown based on the results of a query so rather than using a drop down for static results like gender, I would like it to be able to return a variable length of options such as all of the members of a particular usergroup.

any ideas?

Thanks!

Stryker412

07-18-2008 04:31 PM

How do I do three drop downs side by side rather than under each other? I want one for Month, Day, year.

If I want the thread title to be the username of the applicant it would be $posttitle = $bbuserinfo ?

Also, is there anyway to have the submitted form posted in a section that the user cannot see? I want each application to be submitted to the admin section so we may comment/vote on each one.

Is it possible to only allow the person to submit an application once?

Lastly, is there a way to automatically reject an application (once it's filled out) if a certain variable is not met (such as age)?

1.) Make sure each answer is added to the plug-in in the top section.
2.) Make sure each answer is also listed as an option in the form template. (usually as such: <select name="dropdownanswer2">) - you MUST tell the system essentially this: What ever the users pics as their answer to the drop down, that becomes dropdownanswerx.
3.) Make sure each answer is listed in the form answer template.

If you have them listed in each, then you should see it showing up.

No, that wouldn't cause the problem.

In your form template, the call for the drop down should look something like this, does it?

Code:

<td class="alt1" valign="middle">

<b>$dropdownquestion2</b>:

</td>

<td class="alt1" valign="middle" colspan="2">

<select name="dropdownanswer2">

<option value="$dropdownchoice2a" <if condition="$dropdownchoice2a == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice2a</option>

<option value="$dropdownchoice2b" <if condition="$dropdownchoice2b == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice2b</option>

<option value="$dropdownchoice2c" <if condition="$dropdownchoice2c == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice2c</option>

</select></td>

</tr>

Do you also happen to know what the vBulletin variable for prefixes is?

I've looked through the XML file and found a way for a radio option to assign a thread prefix. Here's the code I added, if anyone else is interested:

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$newpost['title'] =& $posttitle;

Below Add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($radiochoice2a == $radioanswer2)

           { 

           $newpost['prefixid'] = '7';

           }

Modify the conditional to your needs, obviously, or add a second or third one, depending on how many prefixes you're using. You'll need to get the prefix IDs from the admin panel's prefix list page.

07-21-2008 11:24 PM

Ok I fixed it finally. I still need help on some questions.

1) How can I bold the questions once they're posted?
2) How can I set it so the title of each thread includes the applicant's forum name?
3) How do I add two more drop down boxes next to an existing question? Like I've said previously I want to do month, day, and year in a row.
4) Is there anyway to prevent a person from submitting a application more than once?

same here, but it doesn't bother me, cause guests aren't allowed to post in the forum.

Strange thing is, that in 4.1 and the versions before the messagearea with the vb editor doesnt work at all, even in the standard template of this mod.

Registered users only, I don't allow guests to use the form.

If I try to add bbcode to the answers form I get this:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3716) : eval()'d code on line 4

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Also, not sure if anyone knows but hitting the Reset button on the form does nothing.

Hrmm - close, but no cigar unfortunately. This guy is only adding code (unsuccessfully) to have the form post in two places upon submitting.

Dropdown Forum posting {3}

Unfortunately, this is essentially the same code that you provided just for a thread instead of a forum. Since I'm wanting to have a new thread created in a specific forum based on the drop-down that's selected, this doesn't really apply to my situation. Thanks though!

Your code seems to be there, it just doesn't allow attachments when it's in there for some strange reason. No clue why though? Maybe I need to take this to the developers forum to get another set of eyes on it?

I think when I was editing the formanswers template I accidentaly changed the title of formanswers to newthread, (I meant to search templates but was distracted grr), I changed it back straight away - but thats where things went wrong and I really cant work how to get back.

I now seem to have two formanswers template, one is the original and one is the one i have been working on.

That's beenc overed before in the thread here.

Go to your answer template and add in bb code where you want it, just like in a regular post on your forums. Just be sure to leave a space between the BB code and the code in your answer template.

Quote:

3) How to put the user's forum ID or name in the thread title when posted.

Also been covered numerous times in this thread. You might want to use the search in this thread feature in the future when you have questions about how to do something with a mod. It saves the developers and others from having to repeat themselves numerous times and it means that those with questions that haven't been answered actually might have their questions answered and seen....

You're asking for help with the AJAX mod, this isn't the AJAX thread.

They are two completely different developers.

Abe1 wrote the form hack, deepdpg009 wrote the ADD-ON for the form hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182144

AJAX functionality is NOT a normal part of this modification, it's an add on which was written by a different developer. If you have questions about AJAX functionality, you should ask it in the AJAX thread, NOT the general modification thread.
