I don't claim to be a PHP wizard but why does it not work for me to change this code:
To this code:
I'm trying to get the new thread to have the title of the text filled in to normalquestion1. Seems like this is a simple thing but when I try the second code a new thread is never created. It processes the form fine, at least it seems like it does but no thread shows up in the forum. When I change the code back to "$forumtitle" it works fine again. Weird.

Here's what I use:

And it works just fine. I also made $pagetitle into something custom (and changed the breadcrumb in the form template to show $pagetitle) otherwise the name of the form, the breadcrumb, and the title of page will be blank, since the answers have yet to be filled out yet.

OHH... duh. Look at your code again, you're using $normalquestion1 instead of $normalanswer1. :)

You my friend are my hero. Can't believe I didn't notice that. All is good now. :)

So I'm still having problems getting the forum answers to show up. I have it set up to where after submitting the form, a new thread is created. For the most part it works fine, but not all the questions show their answers.

Any suggestions? I've been unable to get this working, and have worked on it for at least a month now :(

I'm using this as a glorified contact-us. I noticed with 3.6.5 (patched) that guest forms are NOT being posted to the forum. If a member uses the forum, it works fine. If a guest uses it, it looks like it goes through ok but nothing shows up. Any ideas?

Is there a way to have more columns and a much larger selection?

Turn off your image verification in vbulletin options and your issue B solved...

Good luck

Upload your form in txt format and I will C if I can fix your issue...?


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pbmansion,,, U can make your form a colossus monster if U want, I have several forms that have 30 questions and many more that are Godzilla's...;)

There's no limit, the problem is making them work properly and keeping the rif raf scum, scabs, spammers and leechs out...:D

Here is the information you requested. I've gone over it many times, but can't find what I'm doing wrong. Any assistance is appreciated. :)

I uploaded the files in txt format instead of posting them on the forum to save space.

Without looking too far into it, I'd say there is a slim chance that your form templates are causing it.

You most likely didn't add $answers 4-8 and $longanswers 2-3 to the VARIABLES section in your Form plugin.

For you, that section should look like:

Yeah. I made a fix for this a long time ago.. which I never ended up releasing. I think DeepDog released an Add-On to this Form Hack, but it's not the *REAL* image verification, so I think you still may have to disable Guest Image Verification for everything.

Erm... Apparently you deleted your post.. haha.

Edit: Does this form handle all errors correctly? For instance, when trying to submit a form where the Post Title is longer than the limit set in vBulletin Options, it gives my users "Invalid Forum Specified", instead of returning an error saying "Thread Title is too long" or whatever. I'm pretty sure it's not any of the modifications to the Form Hack that I've done, since I looked through the plugin code and can't find any references to the post title length.

Edit2: Well, the "fix" is simple enough. I just had to put a maxlength="" on all the input fields that add up to make my thread title.
