Will the form.php call work?

I am essentially trying to override the newthread.php.

Thanks for all your help so far.

If you're asking me, I don't have a clue. Sorry.

$navbar Is already there but i dont get the navbar when the forum is submitted and goes to the "Thank You Message"

I get the navbar when you are answering the questions but not once you submit and get redirected to the "thanks" message.

OK, finally got this to work. Here's the code if you want to have the "New Thread" button redirect to different forms for different forums. Don't forget to end with the correct number of </if> end tags to close out the code.

HTML Code:

<a href="<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 123">form123.php<else /><if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 456">form456.php<else />newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]</if></if>">

PKRWUD, it looks like the <elseif> code isn't supported by VB so you need to nest <if> instead. At least according to the manual:

Erwin,

I'm trying to make a form where someone can type the name of a website in $answer2 and then paste the link in $answer1 and it will link the word in the post. Here is my edited formanswers template:

PHP Code:


		
			
$formtitle

$bbuserinfo[username]

Link to Site:



<A HREF="$answer1">$answer2</a>

Here is what happens:

PHP Code:


		
			
Link to Site



&lt;A HREF=&quot;game name&quot;&gt;http://www.dndonlinegames.com&lt;/a&gt;

How can I make this work? Thanks!

I got it to work, now my form.php files overwrites my newthread.
What I did was in the forumdisplay file I redirected the newthread commnd to point to filesCommand.php and in the redirection sent the current forum number. In the filesCommand.php I created multiple global arrays which stored command forum families for thread posting. I then did a CASE compare to see which form.php file should be called. Along with the form.php call I also sent the forum number and a series of on/off commands which enable and disable certain questions. This allows me to have a few generic form.php which are customized during call.

The only draw back I have right now is changing the number and type of questions since an external file handles this, so all you really need is one form.php that can customize itself during call.
If anyone is interested in the alterations I have made email me. I have a word document which highlighted all my edits. I have not put my comments in yet, but when I do I will post a link.

Thanks for all you help guys.

Replace:

With:

The [url ] bbtag:

HTML Code:

[url="$answer1" ] $answer2 [/url ]

Remove the space in the url tags, but keep the space around $answer2.

Just add a \ in FRONT of any apostrophes you want to use IN the quotation marks.

I'm sorry, I wasn't specific enough. When ever someone fills out the form on my site, if they include an apostrophe in the box that becomes $formtitle (ie: I'm having car trouble), when they try to complete the form, they get the following error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:

I'm not terribly bright when it comes to this stuff, and didn't realize that I had to make that change in 3 queries in order for it to work, but I figured it out in a couple minutes. Thanks for taking the time to help! You ROCK!

Thanks again!

Newbie question: why do we have three files here? Can't everything be put in the form.php file?

WAR	08-31-2004 07:03 PM

The second file contains example templates thatyou will need to create in addition to the generic form.php file

Is there a way to make a form that is created to be required by any new registration before they can do anything else? Such as a form that posts an introduction thread in a specified forum when someone registers, and it will be a requirement before said new member can do anything on the entire forum(almost like a "second" registration page). Maybe a re-direct once the registration goes through or something to the form before anything else can take place. Let me know if this can be done, or is even possible. Thanks!

Abe1	09-03-2004 12:18 AM

Thanks for the hack. I made 14 forms for my site. All leading to new threads.

I got 2 problems now. One, the posts don't count. Two, the posts don't get searched.

I fixed number one by my self.

find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forum[forumid] = $formforumid;

add before:

PHP Code:


		
			
                $DB_site->query("

                                UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user

                                SET posts = posts + 1

                                WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]

                        ");

find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forum[forumid] = $formreplyforumid;

add before:

PHP Code:


		
			
                $DB_site->query("

                                UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user

                                SET posts = posts + 1

                                WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]

                        ");

For the search problem, I couldn't come up with anything yet. Maybe someone else can.

Anyone know if it would be possible to add something like a drop down menu that could list of admin defined forums in which the form would be submitted as a new thread?

I am helping a friend with writing style forum so he has many categories/forums to submit writing. Rather than creating 20 forms that are identical other than the forum they would be submitting to, it would be great to have one form with the user defining which forum to send it to as a new thread.

This works great.
I am not sure if anyone else would do it this way but I have a lot of different forms and instead of typing the name of each form file name such as:

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 123">form123.php<else />

I instead am using:

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 123">form$foruminfo[forumid].php<else />

Means one less thing to edit when nesting a bunch of these if/else.

This brings me to another question, would it be possible to just have one if statement and use an array of some sort like:

Code:

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 123,124,125,126">form$foruminfo[forumid].php<else />

I know this does not work but could it be done? I am a complete code newb so I wouldn't have the first clue if it's possible or what's involved but that would cut down on huge nesting.

Erwin I would also like to add my vote for allowing attachments in the form should it be used to create a new thread. You mentioned earlier that this might be hard while simply uploading an image to the db wouldn't be as hard. Could you give us some example code on how to allow someone to uplaod to db and then show the template mod that would be needed to display that image in the thread?

I like a previous poster am trying to use this for a classifieds section.

Nice modification. I have it working well on my site :)

I use my forms to just send an email to my address. Is it possible for it to send to multiple addresses? If so how?

Thanks!

Sure,

Look for this:

PHP Code:


		
			
    vbmail($formemailaddress, $formtitle, $formsend);

copy this line over and over for as many email addreess you want the email going to. Change

PHP Code:


		
			
$formemailaddress

to a different email on each line.

Anyone figured out yet how to make a thread made by these forms search able?

I Just fixed a MAJOR bug in this. If you used this, you MUST fix and run 'update user post count' in you acp. ALL users post count were going up evey time one person would use the form.

This is a long thread so I'm sorry if these questions have been asked, I skimmed through it but didn't see the answers...

What would I need to do to get the thread title to be the answer from the first question? I'm using it for recipes, the first question is the recipe name, I want that to be the thread title.

Is there any way to use BB code? When I try putting it in the formanswers template I get an error when trying to save it. I want the questions to be in bold so that they stand out from the answers.

This is an awesome hack, thanks!

This should do to:

PHP Code:


		
			
'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[username]))." $formtitle',

E=Replace with:

'$answer1',

Repeat this step as meny times as you can. I think it's about 5 or 6 times.

You can you BB code in the form_answer. Just make sur there is a space right before the '[' of the BB code if you are putting it right after a varible.

Also, make sure you use my hack (look a few posts earlier) if you want the form to count as a post.

Erwin it appears you have some extra code at the bottom of the form template that throws it off

PHP Code:


		
			
<p align="center">

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button"> 

<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button">

</p></td></tr>

</table>

</td>

</tr>

</table>



</form>



$footer

</body>

</html>

the extra </td></tr></table> was throwing off how my page looked on the bottom because it was closing my table speficed in my header template. Hope you have a chance to edit it.

There is a way. But, it would take too long to explain. Basicly, make new users only see a link to the form. And all new users need one post and they change groups.

Now, if only I had the time to do that... ;)

I can see it's not difficult, but I just need the time for it. I could just add an if/else statement so that they see a huge link to the form if they have < 1 post(if conditional), and if they have done the form, then they will see the normal forums view(else conditional). Thanks for the tip! ^^
