Passing title to newthread form
 

I want someone to be able to enter in the thread title on one page for a particular forum and then be brought to the newthread form to fill in the rest of the details.

I have a simple form in a new template:

It works with my code perfectly when a user is logged in, however when a user is not logged in there is a problem

I get redirected to the sign-in page (Perfectly acceptable :)), but when I sign-in and I get the following error:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."


As a workaround I have tried using the in the init_startup hook but it does not make any difference. Anyway I am not sure that this is a good solution.


Any suggestions appreciated

I am still using version 3.7 therefore it is not anything to do with 3.8.

I also set up a vanilla style and the problem still occurred, albeit I was still using my little form.

I disabled the blog as I am using 1.05 but still no joy.

Is there a way of turning this check off?

Security tokens where added in 3.6.10. That article is in regards to all versions that have the security token added.

The inital section was about uploading 3.8 files, but I have gone through the articles.

As I mention above I tried to use the csrf_skip_list but I still can't get it to work. A lot of the article seems to be around isolating whats causing the error. I'm trying to write a plugin that causes the error to occur so I know the code that indirectly causing it I just don't know how to fix it.

Is there any other way of turning it off for posting new threads from within vb environment.

Did you see the article here - Implementing CSRF Protection in modifications. It talks about exempting certain actions. You'll see it tells you two pieces of code you can use depending on what you are doing.
