This code seems to work well for selecting one $formforumid, but the first two "else" statements would prevent multiple selections, and taking them out did no good.

I'm guessing the issue may be that $formforumid can't be assigned multiple values (i.e., $formforumid = "1,2,3" or some such), but hopefully it can and I'm just missing the language that will do it. Easy answers are nice. :p

If anyone has a suggestion to get multiple forums working, I'll make the edit to the original form and post it as an example so it's easy for the next person. Thanks for any ideas... :)

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($checkboxchoice1_1 = 1)

{

$formforumid = "1";

}

else

if ($checkboxchoice1_2 = 1)

{

$formforumid = "2";

}

else

if ($checkboxchoice1_3 = 1)

{

$formforumid = "3";

}

else

$formforumid = "4";

In the code below. how would I go about sending a post to 2 different forums?

Code:

$formforumid = "13";

I am trying to get this to post to both a regular section of the forums and to a private section.

Code:

//FORUM TO POST NEW THREAD IN

//You CAN make this number a variable. You can have a drop down menu or in the link like do=form&f=1. Make sure you add it the variables list.

$formforumid = "x";

I am interested in this too. I tried to find solution, but without luck :-(. Could some coder help please?

Quick question regarding the email form functionality.

I'm going to have a field where the user can enter their email address. This form will be sent to our ticket processing que. I'd like to be able to pull the users email addy from this field and have the email be sent to the email I've entered in the code under the email that's in the field.

Hope that makes sense.

Anyone know if that's possible?

Ok - so I've figured out how to have the form go to an email address that's been entered ON the form, but I can't figure out how to have the email appear to be sent BY the email on the form...

Anyone?

If you're using the form to create a new thread and you're allowing for custom thread titles (I do use the form for entering book reviews, thread title will be the book title), you need to be aware that the limit for thread titles is 85 charakters. The hack does not check for this. So if your thread title is > 85 charakters, the thread creation will fail, resulting in a "no thread specified"-error during redirection.

OK, I have been reading this thread most of the morning trying to decide if I have the wherewithall to implement this hack. I am a novice, but I have a pretty good confidence that I can figure it out...given a little help here....but what I am not understanding is how the "multiple" forms are created. Do you have to install the hack everytime you want to create a new form and use a different name or is there a "Add/Create new form" in the AdminCP under this Product/Plugin manager's screen that Adds the new forms and templates that then need to be edited as discussed throughout this thread? I hope it is as I have described so that once I successfully build my first form the others will be easier to figure out. Please advise. :confused:

There is no manager screen.

If you download and install the mod, the instructions are in the top part of the plug-in.

You don't have to install it multiple times. you just create a new plug-in and new set of templates for each form you want.

It takes a bit to understand what's going on with it and how it works but it's a great way to learn some PHP and a bit about how the forum works.

Yes you have to install the hack for each form you want to use. So if you want to use it for two forms you have to have two installs.

You don't reinstall it. You just create the plug-in again in the AdminCP....

You are right. My explantion is wrong. You would have to create another plug-in and two more template files with different name and change that in you newly installed plug-in.

Bummer...:(

Guess I need to go buy "PHP for Dummies"!

Thank you for the feedback. It would be great if someone took this hack and built an AdminCP user interface. for us rookies to be able to build and hook forms from within the Admin CP. I would be willing to contribute to that effort.

Keep me posted if that becomes a reality.
