Form Hack · **Released**: 09-14-2006

Form Hack 4.1

Features:

Ever wanted an online form that a user can fill out, which when submitted gets:

Posted into a new thread in a forum of your choice
Create a new poll in the new thread with options of your choice
Posted as a reply in an existing thread of your choice
PMed to you or someone else
Emailed to an email address you specify
Choose to redirect to the post, thread or forum, or a custom thank you message
Choose to redirect to edit post
See a preview before they submit

Or any combination or all of the above?

Well, this is the hack for you!

You can use this for:

Moderator Applications
Quiz Submit Form which gets PMed to a moderator
Contact Form that goes to PM, email or thread
Guests to apply to be members
Report a Moderator form that goes as a PM to you
Guests can PM you for whatever reason
Order form to buy things
Donation form
News or Articles submissions that can go straight to a thread

Or anything you like - this hack is totally customizable via the AdminCP.

The beauty of this hack is that once you install this hack, to make a new form all you need to do is copy the main hook, rename it to whatever you want, edit the variables in the hook, and you have a totally new form!!! You do not need to touch the templates again, but can always create new ones and use different templates for different forms.

Format of the form:

One main input question
3 Radio buttons Choice questions
3 Normal text input questions
1 Drop down menu
3 Check boxes
1 Long answer question
1 VB message editor text box question
Upload attachments

This is customizable via the hook.

Also:

You can set the usergroups you want access to this form.
Depending on your forum permissions, if the new thread is in a public forum, members can reply to it. This hack allows a form to submit the new thread or post wherever you want it to go.
Force the user to answer all questions.

INSTALLATION
Easy - takes only a few minutes:

Import the XML into products. (admin cp -> Plug-in System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product)
Edit the main plug-in - the instructions are all inside the hook itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!
To get to the form, go to: /newthread.php?do=form (change "form" to the name of your form if you have few)

Done!

Use this hack to make as many forms as you like!

Enjoy!

Updates:

Version 4.0: (09/15/2006)

Ported over for vb3.6
Send to multiple emails.
Send multiple PMs.
Parse emails for BBCode
And finally, ATTACHMENTS!

Version 4.1: (04/24/2008)

Fixed for vb 3.6.10
Small bug fixed.
List of the 2 quick edits are in the zip file so you don't have to start making a form from scratch.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL!
You will get an email when a new version is released.

No problem

Anyone on my problem?

thalamus · #**104** 09-24-2006, 05:21 PM

I've set this up, and amended the file and templates to generate a Contact us function that is to be posted into a specified forum.

The form looks good, the information is great and it works wonderfully when posting into the forum... for those that have the relevant permissions...

Unfortunately, the form will be completed and submitted by unregistered members and I was wondering whether there's anything at all can be done to allow this to happen. The process is: guest or member (who generally doesn't have access to the forum into which its posted) completes a contact us form. It gets posted into the forum, and a "support" usergroup member responds or it's discussed.

Any clues as to where I should start looking for this solution?

edit: just saw this in the hack description:

Quote:

"Depending on your forum permissions, if the new thread is in a public forum, members can reply to it. This hack allows a form to submit the new thread or post wherever you want it to go."

Well either I'm missing something completely obvious, or it simply doesn't do this. Unless it's this image verification thing that was mentioned a few pages back that's stopping it? I have it set to avoid spammage, so is that the problem I'm facing??

edit again: OK, just found that it *is* the image verification problem that was causing it. It now posts, but as Moderated - guess I'll have to tweak the forum/usergroup permissions to get around that. Just to confirm... by setting Guest Posts needs Image Verification to yes in your vb Options DOES cause this hack not to post into forums in those situations. Oh and the color red becomes green on these forums for some inexplicable reason...

The thread that is created has a title that is this " / $normalanswer1" - the username doesnt show but the $normalanswer info does

Still looking for support on this.

waaay too complicated for us non coders...not for me

You may have to set it up as a variable in the xml within the products manager - edit the Forms Hack in Products Manager, then under the VARIABLES section, put:

Quote:

$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];

then as your title put:

Quote:

$user_name / $normalanswer1

Anyone have any idea as to how I can bypass the moderation queue when I post it into a "closed" forum?

I have this in my form hack and it is still a no go.

Code:

// Part 1
$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer2' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer3' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer4' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer5' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer3other' => TYPE_STR,
'answer1' => TYPE_STR,
'answer2' => TYPE_STR,
'answer3' => TYPE_STR,
'dropdownanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'checkboxanswer1_1' => TYPE_STR,
'checkboxanswer1_2' => TYPE_STR,
'checkboxanswer1_3' => TYPE_STR,
'longanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'longanswer2' => TYPE_STR,
'longanswer3' => TYPE_STR
));

// Part 2
$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];
$normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];
$radioanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer1'];
$radioanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer2'];
$radioanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer3'];
$radioanswer4 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer4'];
$radioanswer5 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer5'];
$radioanswer3other = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer3other'];
$answer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer1'];
$answer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer2'];
$answer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer3'];
$dropdownanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['dropdownanswer1'];
$checkboxanswer1_1 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_1'];
$checkboxanswer1_2 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_2'];
$checkboxanswer1_3 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_3'];
$longanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer1'];
$longanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer2'];
$longanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer3'];

You don't need it in part 1, only part 2 where you're defining the variable. Also make sure you set your title to reflect the given variable $user_name

I really appreciate your help on this but it is still not working....here is my form maybe im messing something up somewhere.

Code:

// To add more then one form, copy this whole text, and creat a new plug-in with the hook location 'newthread_start'.
// After, change the form name. You can't have 2 forms with the same name.

// Name of this form
$formname = "tradeform";

The only thing I can think of is that the initial variables are set when the action of the form is set to 'do form'... perhaps at the beginning of the script, where it says:

Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == $formname)
{

add a "$bbuserinfo = $vbulletin->userinfo;" instruction just after the opening brace before it goes on to define the custom variables?
