Little Help Needed

[ChrisBaktis]

I run a sports card trading site (www.rustysoaptraders.com). On this we use Erwins hack to post trades bewteen members...When the form is filled out the posted trade goes into a forum...When someone doesnt follow through with a trade they must report this to Mods so we can look into it...this is what im looking to do.

Whena member goes to the trade thread I would like a button on the top to show to report the thread if a trade goes bad. If a member clicks on this I want it to report the thread to a moderator just like the 'Report This Post' form does but I would want it reported to a different user then what is setup in the Admin section to report bad posts....

I know I would need a conditional with the Forum ID and also need to create a new .PHP file (I would just copy the report.php and the associated templates calling them something else and wording them to fit).

If you need clarification on what im looking for let me know but I can use some coding help.

Actually.. copy Erwin's Hack completely... rename form.php to something else... such as badtrade.php. Create three new templates for it to use like badtrade_answers and badtrade_error and badtrade. Set the options in the php file and change the template names in the php file to match your new templates... then just add a link to this new "badtrade" from in your template where ever you want.

You can do this repeatedly with Erwin's wonderful hack.. just rename the php file, add new templates and change the template names in the php file for every new form you need.

2 things with this..

1) I only want the link for bad trades to be in that 1 forum so that would require a conditional (that I dont know how to do)

2) I dont just want a form - I want it to work like 'Report a Post' so the thread ID, with that users comments' get PM to the Mod

Just using the form is not going to fit what I need - I dont want the user to have to copy and past URLS for the thread - I want that automaticly.
