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

ReBumping my question :D

You could try adding this to the navbar template in your style

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">

                        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="newthread.php?do=service_form">$vbphrase[Form]</a></td>

                </if>

When you change the title of the questions, you need to make the same changes to the form template and formanswers template.

Make sure whatever questions you changed are in the Part 1 & 2 Varibles list as well.

Abe1 - Is there a way to you can at least tell me the varible(s) i need to change? I know it's something small I am missing.

Abe1,

For us the "Programming Illiterate" is there a way that you can upgrade the mod so that it is more "User Friendly"? for example make it so that the layout and questions can be edited within a options page basically make it "Point and Click". Reasoning for this is that I've tried to configure this as an Application form. I had no need for a normal answer variable but instead I needed another dropdown. For the life of me I could not get rid of the input box for $normalquestion1, I could not get the dropdown to present itself where I wanted it, and I couldn't get both dropdown's to be visable on the page. I went as far as to create an additional variable and sequetially numbered it (i.e. $dropdownanswer1 and $dropdownanswer2) but with no success.

I see this mod as a valuable asset to my site but my limited expertise in programming ( expertiese scale 1 - 10 MINE - neg 5,000) renders it useless at the moment.

I have my form posting as a thread - the members enter $normalanswer1 with the username of someone they trade with...when the form posts I want the title of the thread created to be the username of the person posting the form and $normalanswer1...

on the old version I think I did '$bbuserinfo[username] / $normalanswer1' but when I do that in the $posttitle part now the $bbuserinfo doesnt work...any suggestions?

this code should work just fine in the hack code itself.

PHP Code:


		
			
$posttitle = "$bbuserinfo[username]";

I tried that but it just left it out in the thread title

My $postitle code is = $bbuserinfo[username] / $normalanswer1

The thread that is created has a title that is this " / $normalanswer1" - the username doesnt show but the $normalanswer info does

did you add it to the answers template?

If this was to me, thank you but it needs to be done in php it doesnt do it in the template:(

Yes and the answer template works fine...I have that same info in there where it works just as it did before - this is just in the Thread title that it isnt showing up.

Hey,
I figured out how to edit breadcrum you simply remove the navbar part of the php code and your own but you can use the $formname part incase you change the form.

Thanks R.Caldwell I got the idea from what you said.

Great hack, smal.....large problem, heh

I've made it so there's 15 normal questions/answers, all of which show up on the original form
But, when you post or preview it, only the answer to the first question is posted?
It seems to ignore the other answers?
I must be missing something somewhere right?

Ok now here's my question:
Someone filled out the form and pressed enter in a box and it submitted it, rather than create a new line how do I change this?

I've tried editing the form, but when I view it there is all the old boxes left. I dont understand what i'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me out here please...See the attached file...

did you edit the templates as well as the php code?

No I didn't but I have now, thanks for your help, many thanks :)

No problem :D

Anyone on my problem? :(

I've set this up, and amended the file and templates to generate a Contact us function that is to be posted into a specified forum.

The form looks good, the information is great and it works wonderfully when posting into the forum... for those that have the relevant permissions...

Unfortunately, the form will be completed and submitted by unregistered members and I was wondering whether there's anything at all can be done to allow this to happen. The process is: guest or member (who generally doesn't have access to the forum into which its posted) completes a contact us form. It gets posted into the forum, and a "support" usergroup member responds or it's discussed.

Any clues as to where I should start looking for this solution?

edit: just saw this in the hack description:

Quote:

"Depending on your forum permissions, if the new thread is in a public forum, members can reply to it. This hack allows a form to submit the new thread or post wherever you want it to go."

Well either I'm missing something completely obvious, or it simply doesn't do this. Unless it's this image verification thing that was mentioned a few pages back that's stopping it? I have it set to avoid spammage, so is that the problem I'm facing??

edit again: OK, just found that it *is* the image verification problem that was causing it. It now posts, but as Moderated - guess I'll have to tweak the forum/usergroup permissions to get around that. Just to confirm... by setting Guest Posts needs Image Verification to yes in your vb Options DOES cause this hack not to post into forums in those situations. Oh and the color red becomes green on these forums for some inexplicable reason...

You may have to set it up as a variable in the xml within the products manager - edit the Forms Hack in Products Manager, then under the VARIABLES section, put:

Quote:

$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];

then as your title put:

Quote:

$user_name / $normalanswer1

Anyone have any idea as to how I can bypass the moderation queue when I post it into a "closed" forum?

I have this in my form hack and it is still a no go.

Code:

// Part 1

$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];

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

'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer1' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer2' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer3' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer4' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer5' => TYPE_STR,

'radioanswer3other' => TYPE_STR,

'answer1' => TYPE_STR,

'answer2' => TYPE_STR,

'answer3' => TYPE_STR,

'dropdownanswer1' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer1_1' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer1_2' => TYPE_STR,

'checkboxanswer1_3' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer1' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer2' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer3' => TYPE_STR

));



// Part 2

$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];

$normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];

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

$radioanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer2'];

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

$radioanswer4 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer4'];

$radioanswer5 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer5'];

$radioanswer3other = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer3other'];

$answer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer1'];

$answer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer2'];

$answer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer3'];

$dropdownanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['dropdownanswer1'];

$checkboxanswer1_1 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_1'];

$checkboxanswer1_2 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_2'];

$checkboxanswer1_3 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_3'];

$longanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer1'];

$longanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer2'];

$longanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer3'];

You don't need it in part 1, only part 2 where you're defining the variable. Also make sure you set your title to reflect the given variable $user_name

I really appreciate your help on this but it is still not working....here is my form maybe im messing something up somewhere.

// 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.

The only thing I can think of is that the initial variables are set when the action of the form is set to 'do form'... perhaps at the beginning of the script, where it says:

Code:

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

{

add a "$bbuserinfo = $vbulletin->userinfo;" instruction just after the opening brace before it goes on to define the custom variables?

this can be played around with to use as an article submission form etc. Quite neat.

YES!!! Thank you!

Ok. I am not really a programmer so I am looking for some help. I have installed this into my Vbulletin 3.6.1. I want to have it email the results to the sysadmin, that would be me. What hook do I need to make the form? The default one is newthread_start but I am sure that I change that if I am sending a PM. Am I correct in saying that? Also, I do not have permission to view the thread that was created when I was testing the form. Why is this? I added id 6 in the array function to allow me (admin) access.

spoke to soon - your suggestion solved teh problem but created another...

for some reason whenever a member clicked on a the New Thread button it went to the form... crazy I know...When I hover over the new thread button it didnt give that URL it gave teh URL for the new thread but when you clicked on it it goes to the form for some reason - I removed the line you gave me and that problem was corrected....this is the wierdest problem I have ever come across with a hack.

Corrected my own problem - originally I put the code before the { - I reread your post and realized I had to put it after it. Problem solved.

Alright, I must be a fool, however, I cannot get the form the way I want it.

I simply want to be able to make a form like this:

Year
Make
Model
Date
Text Box

All text areas...is this possible?

I tried to copy of couple of these but it did not work:

$normalquestion1 = "Year";

Sorry for the ignorance!

*Clicks install...
Ill try this out :)

'normalanswer3' => TYPE_STR,

'normalanswer4' => TYPE_STR,

'longanswer1' => TYPE_STR



));



// Part 2

$normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];

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

$normalanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer3'];

$normalanswer4 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer4'];

$longanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer1'];

This will give you the 4 Nomral sized text boxes and then a big text area for your 5th item. You can just copy and paste the Normal Question area in the code and change the info in them.

after installing, I got a database error when I call "newthread.php?do=form"

Quote:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.1:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM forumpermission
WHERE ( forumid IN() AND usergroupid IN (6)) AND
(maxthread=0 AND perhour=0);

(maxthread=0 AND perhour=0)' at line 2
Error Number : 1064

The normal "newthread.php" syntax is:
http://my/forum/path/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=2
and when i call "newthread.php?do=form&f=2", the form start, but never submit and give the same database error.

What shall i do?
