a PHP form to make a post in a definite forum?
 

Hey,

So I was looking to make the use of my vB more common when Pre-sales questions are about (we offer Webhosting, dedicated servers, etc.) and I thought it would bring a little more life to my board.

The most inactive part of my forums are the pre-sales section and I was thinking to add a PHP script that could post the pre-sale questions in the forums after hitting send. Just like a form-mail.

What do you think about it? Our forums are http://forums.navigatoris.net btw.

Thanks

Check out Erwin's flexible hack here

Should be able to customize to do what you want. :)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. However, it is a form that only wokrs if you have it installed on the ROOT of the forums :(

I was looking like a PHP code I could bundle into a html page to fill the form and post it.

Is it possible?

I think you could just include a chdir('path/to/forums') line in that hack for it to work.
The HTML page you are thinking of, could just be the template.

Just an idea. :)

Ok, will try this over the weekend (when I get time to work on extra things, weekdays are just too busy :surprised: )

Thanks again!

Francisco, did it work?

Haven't had time, sorry.

The other option is to just get some HTML code for a generic form and make a new template.

I'm about to do this.......but just need to find out how to have a form submited from the server side :)

PS: reason I haven't chosen Erwin's hack is because I don't need such complexity!

That sounds great :)

I actually ended up getting Erwin's hack as I needed more than just a form.

Also this hack is a LOT easier to do than coding your own HTML FROM tags into a page.

So get the hack :)
