I have created one form to help members trade items. They fill out the form and it posts to a thread. I have been asked to have a button in someones post where if it is clicked, you would go to the form and that persons name would be in the form already.

I have it now as {username} / $qo1 (or whatever the variable is) so when the form is filled out that information is the thread title - example if I filled out the form would be 'Me / Name of person i type in box"

Is it possible to somehow carry the username of the persons post I am in so that $qo1 spot automaticly fills in so I would not have to type the persons name when a link from that post is clicked and you are taken to the form?

I hope im clear on what im asking - thank you in advance for your help.

This requires Easy Forms v3.3

Add this into postbit template somewhere (or postbit_legacy)

<a href="misc.php?do=form&fid=2&username=$post[username]">Trade with $post[username]</a>

Import attached file.

form Hook: Form start

PHP Code:

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'username', TYPE_NOHTML);
if (empty($hiddenfield1))
    {
        $errormessage = "Error, this form needs a username.";
           eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
    } 


form Hook: Before Submit

PHP Code:

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_NOHTML);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput); 


Then you can use {param} in custom output.

if you don't want to use custom output then add a custom question with php code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $hiddenfield1 . '" />';
