 http://www.philosophyforum.com/forum/#lounge

so I'm thinking it may need some re-write rules for vbseo. For some reason hitting submit opens that anchor link to the lounge.

Does anyone else using this form have vbseo with similar problems?

You could look on vbseo website for hints.

I have made a little script for our site and thought I would share how I did it with everyone.

This will give you a directory dropdown list in your form, which we are using to choose pictures within a Directory.

Get rid of the space in the opening IMG tags, had to put a space in them to show up in here.

Create a Custom field in your form.
In the phpcode field add the following:

$answer = '<select id=" name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$answer .= '<option>--Select Map--</option>';
$thisanswer = $q_{$formbit[id]};

$dirPath = dir('/path/to/image');
$imgArray = array();
while (($file = $dirPath->read()) !== false)
{
   $imgArray[ ] = trim($file);
}
$dirPath->close();
sort($imgArray);
$c = count($imgArray);
for($i=0; $i<$c; $i++)
{
$answer .= '<option value="'.$imgArray[$i].'">'.$imgArray[$i].'';
}

$answer .= '</select>';

Change the following to suite the dir your images are in:
$dirPath = dir('/path/to/image');

Find in plugin Easy forms Part 1

/*($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;*/

Replace with:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

To get the image to show up once the form is submited, enter the following in to the Custom Form Output, change the domain and directory to suit where the image is located:

 [IMG ]http://www.yourdomain.com/images/maps/$q[39][/IMG]

There is probably an easier way of doing this, but hey it works.

Also if you wish to change the size of your images using the IMG tag then visit
http://tech.mikelopez.info/2006/03/0...resize-script/, and download their script.

This is how I used it: Custom Form Output

 [IMG ]http://www.yourdomain.com/images/imgsize.php?w=250&h=250&constrain=1&img=/path/to/images/maps/$q[39][/IMG]

Replace $q[39] with your field number.

Again changing the domain and paths to suit. The paths are absolute, not relative.

[pmflav1]

Another little hand snipped.
This will give you a dropdown list of times, in 15 min incriments. ie. 12:15pm etc....

Create a Custom field:
Enter the following into your PHP Code Filed.

$start = strtotime('1:00am');
$end = strtotime('11:59pm');
$answer = '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$answer .= '<option></option>';
$thisanswer = $q_{$formbit[id]};

for ($i = $start; $i <= $end; $i += 900)
{
$answer .= '<option value="'.date('g:i a', $i).'">'.date('g:i a', $i).'';
}
$answer .'</select>';

Enjoy.

The next code I will be working on is a java based countdown timer for the frontpage of our site which will let people know how much time is left before the time is reached, compared with the time set in the VB CP.
However if anyone has any ideas on this then please do share, saves re-inventing the wheel.

Cheers

No, I can make it a module but it is not visible on the "homepage"

vBa CMPS -> Edit Modules -> {module}

Select 'Add/Remove From Pages' from dropdown

Then you can choose which pages it is displayed on.

$from = $vbulletin->userinfo[email];

Thank you so much banana!!! workin great.... your mod is EXCELENT!!!!

[Quantnet]

This has a lot of potential. I plan to modify this mod to obtain something TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

example: http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigrat...kers/i130-i485

Question

1) Can we sort by column headers?
2) Can users go back and complete/update partial filled forms?
3) Is there anywhere the user can control the number of cases they filled?

Thanks
