HTML/PHP to auto-login and post from external webpage
 
I am webmaster and vBulletin forum admin (3.6.8) for my World of Warcraft guild. I'd like to code a web form for guild applications such that pressing "Submit" will post the filled-out form to a specific thread in my guild forum. For example, the user would fill out the following HTML form:
Quote:

Name: [NameField]
Age: [AgeField]
Question 1: [Answer1Field]
...and, on pressing "Submit", the page would log in to a special account on my forum, reply to the Applications thread, and post:

Quote:

Originally Posted by GuildApp
Name: stuff from NameField
Age: stuff from AgeField
Question 1: stuff from Answer1Field

Is this possible to accomplish efficiently, and if so, how would I go about it? If it isn't, I can always just have it email the apps to me and post them manually, but I'd rather have it done automatically (and I like to expand my coding juju whenever possible).

Your help is appreciated!

There is a hack called something like Welcome Thread for New User (I really don't know the name) and when a new person registers, there is a thread automatically created that has their name in the thread title and posts a little welcome message in the body. It sounds like you could take that hack and modify the body of the thread with the information from above.

Thanks, but I don't want the person to have to register to the forums to fill out the application. The app is just an HTML webpage; I'm trying to write some PHP to post the completed form to the thread. Having the webform register a new user to force the hack to post, or modifying the hack to work from a webform instead of within vBulletin, seems more complicated than what I'm trying to do.

So what you want is a form for people to fill out where the result is a thread with all that information? There is a Form hack which sounds like it will do what you want: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...highlight=form (It says you can specify is as resulting in a post in a thread, not just as a new thread).
