Hi again,

I don't know if this will help or further confuse anyone trying to customize your own form, but I've got an example of a custom moderator app I made using this hack. You can look at a screenshot of the displays and look at how I customized Erwin's php file and templates.

This is really a combination of two hacks. I expanded on the content found in Lesane's Moderator Application + Rating Hack, but I didn't want the ACP rating system he used and didn't need special database tables. So, basically, I used Erwin's "form" hack to create the same thing. Then we post the form (as a new thread) to a private staff-only forum for review. This lets us post comments in the same thread and then set up a poll to rate the moderator candidate (1 through 5) the way Lesane did in the ACP.

The main thing here is you can see how it looks on the screen, then check the php file and the templates to see how I got it to look that way.

The attached zip contains the php file and templates I'm using, and I'll post a couple of screenshots, to follow.

Please Note - I left the graphics we use in the screenshots to show how you can do this, too, but please don't use them -- I don't own those and they are not public domain graphics. You can make your own if you have that talent, or just get a "person/cartoon with a mirror" and a "person/cartoon with a magnifying glass" image from some clipart library to make something like this for your forum.
