Forms Hack · **Released**: 08-09-2005

Forms Hack 3.5

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 to upload attachments
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

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!

If you have a question, it would be stored as "This is a question right here" in the product

However, if you add quotation marks to that, you'd get something like "This is a "question" right here" resulting in a parse error because of the added quotation marks.

ok thats fine.

however i can't even get the questions to display right. click the link i posted to see what i mean.

i delelted the un needed parts of the default form but the questions i added wont display, only the first one does.

I can't say for sure, but I think you may have inadvertently deleted the stored questions, explanations, and choices. I didn't care for editing via the hook, so when I got the product, I edited the XML file and uploaded it.

If you do that, go down to where it says "CUSTOMIZE VARIABLES". At that point you should see a list of questions/explanations/choices. Edit those to fit the form contents you need and you should be set!

Puntoboy · #**486** 01-02-2006, 08:22 PM

i tried that, but in the hook edit section....

In that case, I'm not sure... I assume you didn't edit any of the templates, right?

Figured it out. You changed the questions to fit what you need, but you didn't edit the template to accomodate that. In addition, you also need to change the variables to reflect the questions you are asking.

You'll need to change all of your $normalquestion1 variables to $normalquestion1, $normalquestion2, etc. because if you don't, you'll just overwrite what's on the variable and only the last item (Post code) will show up. Go through all of your questions and replace them accordingly.

After that, go to your variables and replace the variables with what I've put below:

PHP Code:


			
// Part 1
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer2' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer3' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer4' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer5' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer6' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer7' => TYPE_STR,
));

// Part 2
$normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];
$normalanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer2'];
$normalanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer3'];
$normalanswer4 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer4'];
$normalanswer5 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer5'];
$normalanswer6 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer6'];
$normalanswer7 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer7'];

After you've done that, edit the templates at the top of the file. Edit the form to display all of your normal answers, then edit the formanswers template to display all of your answers.
