how to add drop down list in vb?
 

hey guys,

i apologize in advance if this question have been asked before. I'm trying to create a new page in my vb forum and add few options etc. I've gone through the tutorial on how to create a new page within vb forum and i've been successful so far. I just wondering how can i add textfields, drop down lists (combo box) and buttons etc. I know how to create a form in html and link it to javascript. But i was wondering if there's already built in code then how can i link my code to it? For example, i've seen that in forumjump template, it uses the form and then in one of the optiongroup it calls $forumjumpbits and in other templates i also noticed calls to $somethingbits. Another example is $quickchooserbits or $postbits etc. I was wondering what are these, different classes and how i can create one like this?

thanking in advance

You can put any HTML you want in your templates....Such as the form fields you want.

basically what it does is this. You have your php script and you would assign a variable as a template.

So you can do something like

$header = header_template
$content = Content_template

then at the end you could out your entire page.

print(entire_page_template)

in your entire page template you can pass those variables down, so your entire page template may just be

$header
$content
$footer

etc....

So when you see those variables in the templates they are being passed from the server in a php script.

Thats just a simple way of putting it.

^thanks for this info, never mind the other questions i asked earlier. I've figured out myself, thanks though
