just trying to get our questions all sorted for our guild recruitment page in WoW.

Is it possible to have one of the questions where they enter the character name and then the forums turn it into a Armoury URL ?

Example:

Please Enter your character name: "Elbulus"
Then when they post the form it turns into this :
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...pine&n=Elbulus

So somehow make the forum see that Question 1 = {Answer 1}
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Daggerspine&n={Answer 1}


Many Thanks
Elb

Edit form

1. Select option 'Redirect user after form is submitted' (at bottom)
2. Form Hook: Before Submit:
   

   $form[redirecturl] = "http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Daggerspine&n=$q[181]";

3. Replace 181 with appropriate question hash

Example: http://www.bananalive.co.cc/misc.php?do=form&fid=41

Thanks again for the help!


I have decided to use this add-on along with another add-on but it isnt working as I thought it would. I know the other add-on isnt yours, and im not sure who I should be asking, but maybe you could shed some light on to this issue.

The other add-on is called "Cyb - Auto Reply" and it can be found at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201305.

What i'm trying to do is this:

1.) Easy form creates a form which creates a new thread in a sub forum.

2.) Auto reply then replies to the thread that was created by easy form.

The problem is, auto reply doesnt seem to realize that easy form created a thread. I tested manually posting into the sub forum where easy form creates threads, and the auto reply worked just fine. So for whatever reason, the way easy form creates a thread is different then the way it would be created by a real user.

Do you happen to know of a way to make it so Auto reply can tell that easy form created a thread?

Thanks in advance!

try using the custom output.

[rtt.pyro]

thanks! that worked perfectly!

Since this was in the code already, but turned off, does this code have any negative side effects?

thanks again.

Ok, maybe the answer to my question should be "If you don't know, you shouldn't install this hack." and if that's the case, I'll say thank you and uninstall.

I followed the instructions and imported the xml file but where do I go from there? How do I create a form? Am I missing something obvious?

Go to (your forum URL)/misc.php?do=forms

That should get you started.

It shouldn't do. It is commented out to avoid possible conflicts with other mods, but there shouldn't really be any
