If you set it to //$formforumid = "1" you are cancelling out that line, so effectively it's not posting it at all. You have to go into your admincp and look at your forum manager from there determine what the forumid is and set that line to the corresponding # and it will post within that forum.

ok that's clear but whats with this: You can have a drop down menu or in the link like do=form&f=1. I think that mean i can give the forumID information over the link? On this way i have to create only one form and not for each Forum one...

Not really sure what that is, maybe the others can chime in.

alright, I'm getting a bit frustrated here. It seems that no matter what I do, I just can't get this to work, I'm getting two errors.

and

If I didn't have so much patience, I'd have given up on this so called "easy" hack. Yeah, easy if you don't change anything but the text, but after that, it just seems to complicate itself. Can someone give me a hand with this?

No offence on this but before we start pouring out the solutions, you might want to had another good look at the codes in your plugin again.

I had a look at it and discovered a few missing items like ", ; and :. :)

Nobody knows the way over do=form&f=1? It makes a lot easier with this form... Or is there a way to to take the address in to a variable? Or is there alredy a variable? So i can take the informations from the address...

Does anyone know if this works with 3.7.x?

That's because I'm not a coder, it's not that I haven't looked over my code, it's that I have no idea where stuff is missing. I've done a little bit of code editing in the past, but nothing like I've had to do with this.

edit: I went through the 3 forms again, I fixed some of the variables on the answer form, and found some missing ; on the hook, but I have no idea if anything is wrong with the template or what else is missing. Just to note, I haven't edited the imported xml file if that makes a difference.

Hey I'm trying to get this to work with cyb advanced permissions based on post count and I'm having trouble. Anyone have any idea why? I've tried changing the execution order and it did not work. Still lets me post.

Frankly speaking, when I posted the previous reply, I haven't even open up your form and formanswers template and look at their contents yet.

I am also not a coder myself but it is through this mod that I started to have more ideas on php, html, and javascripts.

Anyway, I have re-attached your plugin that I have edited. I have not tested it on my test site yet but I believed it should work (unless I happened to miss out any spot due to my tired eyes).

Good luck.

Well, the good new is that it's working, however, I'm having 2 main problems. Setting to where they have to answer all questions causes it to say, "X, you have to answer all questions" even if you have.

Also, I have it set to create a new thread, but the answers are partly out of order compared to the form, any idea to how to fix that?

Also, is there a way to make it so the questions in that topic appear bold, so they stand out from the answers?

I had the same problem when I first started it too. You have to go lower down in the form area and edit this section.

Make sure that all your questions are in there or ones you're not using are removed.

I have not tried on the answer all questions portion but this post might provide some clues for you.

I don't really understand what do you mean in your following paragraph.

As for your last question, are you saying that you want the questions to be appeared in bold in your submitted form? If that is the case, just go to your formanswers template and enclose those questions that you want to appear in bold using the standard bb codes.

This is my current hook. I don't know if I'm defining them wrong at the bottom or what.

You have a typo.

What I mean, is if you look at the 2 pictures I uploaded, if you look at the post, the questions/answers are listed in a different order then on the form. For example, on the form it asks for position and then experience, but in the post it goes, experience then position, I think the next 2 were out of order too.

Even after fixing that, the problem still persists

What's the difference between that and what's already there? It seems the same to me

Maybe the dropdown box is the problem?

EDIT: As I supected, it was adding the drop down box to that line that caused the problem. So know all that's left is the order problem.

EDIT2: Actually, now it just gets stuck on the thank you screen.

I see..... you just need to rearrange the items in the formanswers template to the correct position that you want.

I will need to figure that out as I have not done that on my side yet. I'll try to take a look at it tomorrow morning (it's now 1.30am over here and I need to get some sleep :p)

Yeah, yeah, cool. Thanks for the help so far. I actually got the answer all problem fixed, it's just the "getting stuck on the thank you screen" I have to figure out.

What do you mean by this?

I am sure that this question has been asked. With over 80 pages, it is probably in there somewhere, but I have not found an exact match to my problem. So maybe someone can help me.

I want to call my copy of the hack in this way:

where ### is the post I want to reply to.

I can generate this link without problem. My form begins executing. I can echo to the screen for verification, the "p" variable, by accessing $_REQUEST['p'].

I want to set the variable $formreplythreadid to this "p" variable. I have tried various variations:
or this
I also attempted to add a variable to the form like other user input variables, using
something like this:
With the value defined in this way, I tried to assign to it in two different ways. First I tried to directly assign to it:
and lastly I tried to allow the user to input the value via the form input screen. This works so I know a variable will work. But I cant figure out how to have the program assign the variable

In all cases, I could echo the value to the screen with success; however, in all cases when I tried to assign my variables value to $formreplythreadid, the value seems to be empty.

How can I set the value $formreplythreadid to a value that is generated at runtime?

Normally, I'd see the thank you screen then get redirected back to forumhome I believe. Now, I see the thank you screen and that's it, it doesn't redirect to anywhere.

Hi Daggerzz i have the same problem but with threads... I guess that is the solution... :

//ENABLE FORM TO REPLY TO EXISTING THREAD - 1 = yes, 0 = no
$formreply = "1";
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Mage'){
$formreplythreadid = "43";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Warlock'){
$formreplythreadid = "34";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Warrior'){
$formreplythreadid = "41";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Rogue'){
$formreplythreadid = "42";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Priest'){
$formreplythreadid = "40";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Hunter'){
$formreplythreadid = "46";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Paladin'){
$formreplythreadid = "45";}
if ($dropdownanswer1 == 'Shaman'){
$formreplythreadid = "44";}
//EXISTING THREAD ID FOR FORM TO REPLY IN

Can you explain me where you have added this code please? $x = $_REQUEST['p'];

I put this in the form hack right after I defined the variables. i know this is teh right value because i can make it display the number. The problem is if iIuse that as a variable for $formreplythreadid it gives me an error. I need to be able to post this to any number of threads so a drop down box would not work.

That's how it is on mine too, it never redirected. I would like to know if you find out how.

Also, I'd like to beg/plead one more last time if someone can help me set up a birthday question so the three drop down menus are side by side on the same line.

Also I will plead again someone please help me!

I make my question in a quote because after posted this, I saw Daggerzz's post. The problem is similar. However, I typed my question so I don't want to delete it :">

Thanks to Abe I was able to get the triple drop down question working.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/shawnyue/public_html/forum/newthread.php(74) : eval()'d code on line 191

How to add this into the templete???

$dropdownquestion1 = "Suspension Reason";

// The following choices must NOT have quotation marks
$dropdownchoice1a = "Inactivity";
$dropdownchoice1b = "No Ads";
$dropdownchoice1c = "Wrong Ads ";
$dropdownchoice1d = "Incorrect Placement Of Ads";
$dropdownchoice1e = "No Index Up Within 1 Week Or More";
$dropdownchoice1f = "Another Reason That Is Unlisted";
$dropdownchoice1g = "Unknown";

<font color="Red">Threads automatically generated state that they are "Moderated" SOLVED!
Form missing "Manage Attachments" SOLVED!</font>

For those who have had this happen to them. I found the solutions. Its quite simple but easily overlooked. Please note that in my situation, the form was being posted to an admin forum that is not accessible to any registered users, just admins.

1) Login into Admin CP
2) Under "Forum and Moderators" click Forum Permissions
3) Go to the forum that the form gets submitted to.
4) Click "Edit" on the usergroup that uses the form (you may need to do this for more then just one usergroup)
5) Because in my situation, everything was set to NO. So I selected YES to "Can Post Threads", "Follow Forum Moderation Rules" and "Can Upload Attachments".
6) Save and volla. Well it worked for me.

I didn't test my triple drop down question in IE. It shows in Firefox fine, but in IE the one drop down box does not even appear.

Edit: fixed

In the default form template of Form Hack 4.1, there is only one place where user can use editor menu bar, emotions, etc., i.e. $messagearea

Can I create another place where user can use editor menu bar, emotions, etc. in a form? I may have only one VB TEXT AREA INPUT, but is there any way to have one more field where user can use bbcode, emoticons, etc.?

I have 2 forms up and running but when I click submit on my newly created form it is not creating any threads, I have tried various forum numbers but nothing?

My solution:

Add: after: then set the variable:
and now add the following:

open the form with:
newthread.php?do=form&fid=5 or 6 or what you want

thats it

For those of you trying to use this as a "contact us" form but are frustrated with the spam, I found a solution..

Use this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=186926 instead (only useful for a single contact us form to be posted as a thread).. Uses the spam prevention features of vbulletin.

-vissa

pretty please someone help me

after the update to 3.7.3 there is an securitytokken error using this hack.?

WOW will implement when its updated next
