If I can do it then you can too. It is very limited to what phpnoobs are able to achieve but check out my edited application form for our Enemy Territory based clan. Of course my fingers are crossed for an editable purpose made ET Application Form some day :D. I spent a bit of time playing around with the phrases to achieve the result.
NB: the images are too small to read anything...it's just to give you an idea.

The forum I have setup to have this post to is a private forum but I have set unregistered users to be able to post to it just not see it. I have also setup the unregistered users usergroup ID to be able to use the form under the form settings. I am still getting the same error message. Any ideas? My website is www.micthrillaz.com. Just click the apply button on the main page to access the form.

Disable the unregistered usergroup from being able to post from the form. That *should* fix it, since orphaned posts stink anyway and if someone is serious about filling out an application, why not make them register? :)

See if that works. I have no idea how to get around that if you want unregistered users to be able to post applications, I'd have to dig quite a bit.

Here's my form, and what you get being unregistered:

After updating my forum to Patch Level 2, whenever you fill out all the fields it still says you haven't filled them all out.

Strange. Do you have the most recent version of the mod installed?

I updated to PL2 without a hitch in this mod. Sorry I can't be of help. :(

Pretty sure I do, is there a version check somewhere?

I figured it out. You have to disable to "image verification" for unregistered users to be able to use the form.

Amen!!!!! Great mod, this is by far the best & easiest to edit...Thank You


One question, After submit is hit, the app. shows up in a thread. How do I change the font size of the Personal Information Area to a larger size. I have edited this to suit my needs for America Army. I have changed all font sizes in xml, but the submited app. does not change...Thanks.

Eddie -

You'll need to edit the wow_form_answers template since that's what is pulled when posting the answers to the new thread. Right now it looks like the header for that section is set to +2, and the rest appears to pull the font size of your standard forum posts.

Floo -

Ah, thanks for the info. I don't allow guests to post because I like to know who is posting on my guild forums. Just watch for spam bots if you've turned off image verification.

Anyone know what changes I would need to make to the xml in order to import a second form without disturbing the original one?

Our guild is starting to recruit in both factions now and I would like to have a application for both. Since my current one is set to Alliance, any new Horde members can't put in their proper race/class info.

thanks

I haven't tried to upload a separate .xml file, but you can easily open the application up to show all races so that it would fit both Alliance and Horde.

In wow_form Find:


Replace with:

Since the classes are across the board now with TBC, unless you want to have different questions per faction it's a pretty easy fix.

I have noticed I am unable to remove the "What times do you play the most or are most active in the game? " Any idea why? Also, as far as the title of the application, I noticed it displays as Recruitment Application. Is it possible somehow to add $answer1 into the title so when posted it adds the character name to the thread title?

Vrokar -

If you edit the plugin so that the the the post title reads:

It will come out with character name, level race class. You can change it around as you see fit, this is how I have it on my forums.

So, for example, my new threads would look like this: Balaa - 70 Troll Priest

Have fun playing with the variable. :)

That works great. I was hoping you could do it with the easy settings. Guess not, had to search the code through the plugin manager. Thanks for the help man. Much appreciated.

<--- woman

And you're welcome. :) I just happened to have to dig myself last week as the Officers came up with the request and I had to come up with a solution. Guess it was your lucky week! ;)

To get this working with 3.7 I had to edit the wow_form. I did this by going to my admincp. Then Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Next to my default style I expanded the drop down menu and selected Edit Templates - > Go - > I scrolled down to wow_form and double clicked. Searched for:

added before:

I also had to turn off the human verification manager to get it to work. That is under vbulletin options in the admincp.

thx :)

just a question: i saw that the new threads are 'moderated', so how can i disable this feature and how can i make the new forms as normal threads?

TIA

edit: another question: (check the pic) there are 20 options, i need only 8 with different prefix (i don't want -KEY-), so i need to delete some options how i can do that?

anyone? :(

Kurtz -

Do you have new posts from that usergroup to said forum set as moderated? Check all the usergroups that post new apps and are coming up moderated, and make sure the forum permissions are set right.

What exactly are you looking to do with the Attunement section (mine has been off for eons, and now with most keys and attunements being nuked in 2.4 it becomes even more useless)... could you elaborate so we know where to start?

Broken in latest version of vb, can I get a fix??

edit: used fix above and it's working fine (didn't change anything with human verification though)

Hi Everyone..

Been a long time since I revisited my own modification. I've been working heavily and haven't had much time to do much of anything programming wise. I just now got back into gaming and have been designing a custom Age of Conan vbulletin theme skin and also creating a new recruitment application form for that game. I still play World of Warcraft, but only on a very limited basis.

The two biggest issues I think most folks have been talking about here are the new security token issues with 3.7x. I saw a fix outlined here and yes, that works fine. I've fixed it for the AoC recruitment app but I wanted to touch base with some other areas of this one.

I will more than likely update the WoW recruitment form for 3.7x as I place the AoC one up.

If anyone has suggestions for the upcoming changes, please post them here and I'll be looking at things to come.

My new AoC guild site is located at http://praetorianknights.net . Check it out if you want to. :)

When are you planning on putting up the AOC recruitment form?

Is there an easy way to use this mod to have two separate applications? We have very different questions sets depending on whether the applicant wants to raid or just be a casual player.

Thanks in advance...

PS - I did copy the form, hooked to newthread_start, and named something new. But the cpadmin settings for questions don't give any option to edit one form vs. the other.

- ZJ

Works great!

Question though, I am having it post to a forum. The trouble that I am having is I have a dark background and I cant see the questions. The App. its self if perfect, but when I go to the forum that I have it posting to that is where I can't see the letters of the questions. I can see the answers though. Can someone point me in the right direction to change the colors of the text of the submitted application?

any plans on updating this?

@ Samual, the option is in your AdminCP --> VBulletin Options --> Elricstorm's WoW Form Style Settings

_______________________________

Fantastic! I had to modify heavily to suit my needs however it works perfectly! (Tournament Site for bf2142 & COD4, using as a Request to Join application and special thanks for the custom questions as it saved me some code work!)

3.6.8

S-MAN

any idea if this will be update for Wrath for WoW? If not could anyone tell me how to add in the new level cap and the new class?

are you going to have an update for WOTLK

Another request for a Wrath update or instructions on how to edit :)

I added the WoTLK options in the templates and phrases but the additions do not show in the form. Anyone know if you have to reimport the changes in a remade XML file?

I done the changes or atleast thing i made the changes in the correct place in the .xml file , uploaded it and everyone was the same :( Gonna have a look into it a bit more when i'm not trying to heal people in heroics >< Will post back if i work it out !

I had the same issue, It had something to do with the cache or somethign with the templates... I fully modified my xml to reflect WOLTK... Now however I am having an issue with a "security toekn" IE: CSRF, I for the life of me can not figure out where the line is to be modified... And no one has posted a sugestion in the dev forum on it..
If you have any ideas, let me know please...

Thanks

I am no genious when it comes to php but i gave this a go for the sake of my sanity when WotLK was released.....its worked on our forum and i stress this is a short term fix till electricstorm or someone with the same know how starts to work on this script again

download Electricstorms product file and then edit it using what ever package you need, then make the following changes, it looks long but alot of it is just same old, same old

Right ok i cheated on the next part but it works, wont reflect it in the control panel but still it works ok on the form

find:
work upwards changing the numbers so it looks like the following
get the idea take it all the way down to 11 instead of lvl 1, if you have someone applying to join your guild below level 11 that then tough titty for them. I think thats about it then simply save your work / re-apply the product overwriting the one you had previously installed and it should work great.

Again i stress, i just looked at the file and made the next logical steps i claim no glory for this its electricstorms work that takes all the credit and as i said i am the village idiot so if it takes over the world dont blame me LOL

I applied the fixes in the post above mine and they worked fine, however this mod is so outdated a LOT of the info it asks for in the form are no longer relevant, this is a good mod I just hope the author can find some time to update it. I would be happy to provide some suggestions for possible updates to the form. Msg me!

I applied all the above changes but it's still not showing Inscription, DK's or the DK talent choices. I did it twice by copying and pasting the code exactly. Could you possibly send me your editted XML?

I tried these changes in 3 different .xml editors. The only change that seems to be working is the change to reflect level 80's.

Snap Flootroops

Since noone seems to be contributing real fixes to this, I will explain in a bit of detail how to go about making changes to this "correctly". I'll use two examples, level changes (non-hack way as opposed to what is suggested above), and adding "Death Knight".

• Adding new levels to the dropdown
  • Part ONE : Modifying the plugin code
    1. Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager
    2. Click on [Edit] next to your formname under the Elricstorm product
    3. Find the following line:
       Code:

       ---

       $dropdownchoice270 = "70";

       ---

    4. Add the following after:
       Code:

       ---

       $dropdownchoice271 = "71";
$dropdownchoice272 = "72";
$dropdownchoice273 = "73";
$dropdownchoice274 = "74";
$dropdownchoice275 = "75";
$dropdownchoice276 = "76";
$dropdownchoice277 = "77";
$dropdownchoice278 = "78";
$dropdownchoice279 = "79";
$dropdownchoice280 = "80";

       ---

    5. Please note, NEW values are used in this example, unlike the example a few posts up. For those new to this... its important that variable names here are unique.
  • Part TWO - Adding in phrases
    • Ok, in this case, we can skip this step since we didn't add any new phrases in. Proceed below...
  • Part THREE - Modify the template
    1. Styles & Templates -> Style Manager
    2. In your style, select 'Edit Templates'
    3. Scroll to the bottom, find 'wow_form', double_click
    4. Find the following block:
       
       Code:

       ---

       <option value="$dropdownchoice270" <if condition="$dropdownchoice270 == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice270</option>

       ---

    5. After it, add in a similar line for every level above 70 you're adding. For example, to add in level 71, you'd put in:
       
       Code:

       ---

       <option value="$dropdownchoice271" <if condition="$dropdownchoice271 == $dropdownanswer2">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice271</option>

       ---

• Adding the Death Knight Class
  • Part ONE : Modifying the plugin code
    1. Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager
    2. Click on [Edit] next to your formname under the Elricstorm product
    3. Find the following line:
       
       Code:

       ---

       $dropdownchoice1i = $vbphrase[wow_form_warrior];

       ---

    4. After it, add the following:
       
       Code:

       ---

       $dropdownchoice1j = $vbphrase[wow_form_deathknight];

       ---

    5. Note, that in THIS case, the new variable is incremented using a letter instead of a number (dropdownchoice1j) AND we *are*, in fact, using a new phrase (wow_form_deathknight)
  • Part TWO - Add the new phrase(s)
    1. Languages & Phrases -> Phrase Manager
    2. "Add New Phrase" button
       
       Code:

       ---

       Phrase Type : GLOBAL
Product : Elricstorm's World of Warcraft Recruitment Form
Varname : wow_form_deathknight
Text : Death Knight

       ---

    3. Note that in the above example, the "Varname" *MUST* match the new vbphrase that you added above
    4. Click "Save"
  • Part THREE - Modify the template
    1. Styles & Templates -> Style Manager
    2. In your style, select 'Edit Templates'
    3. Scroll to the bottom, find 'wow_form', double_click
    4. Find the following block:
       
       Code:

       ---

       <option value="$dropdownchoice1i" <if condition="$dropdownchoice1i == $dropdownanswer1">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice1i</option>

       ---

    5. After it, add:
       
       Code:

       ---

       <option value="$dropdownchoice1j" <if condition="$dropdownchoice1j == $dropdownanswer1">selected="selected"</if>>$dropdownchoice1j</option>

       ---

    6. Note that the block you're searching for will contain the variable name we added in the above step (Modifying the code), namely 'dropdownchoice1i'
    7. Save

The above method(s) can be used for adding other fields as well, including Inscription or whatever else. I leave those examples as an exercise to the reader.

PS - No offense meant to other submitted fixes... they just weren't working.

This occurs in versions past ... I think 3.6.something or other. Fix:

Edit your wow_form template, find the following:
Add this after:
I'm not certain the sessionhash is necessary, but it works. Tested on 3.7.4, I will not speak to this fix's validity on any other version.

Why is it giving me the following when I try to submit or preview the form: Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.
