I know the following is obtainable by manually entering the following BB Code - But is it possible to have the BB Code already there as there are very few member how know what it is, let alone use it.

I would like to have the E-mail address and Website addresses, entered to be clickable on the forum page.

{email} {/email} *

{url} {/url} *

* Remone the {} and replace with [].

Thank You.

I upgraded to the V3.4 (even though it says 3.3 when I did so).

Would you also be kind enough as to tell me if and how it is possible, that the form can be accessed while a member presses the reply button. (Just on that forum).

It should re-direct on click one of the options? Which browser are you using? Is javascript enabled in your browser?

that's just typo.

Create plugin newreply_start

PHP Code:

if (in_array($foruminfo[forumid], array(1,2,3)))
{ 
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ; 
} 


Change 1,2,3 for appropriate forumids.

Thanks

You could create custom question and then use the following in the form hook before submit:

PHP Code:

$form[forumid] = $q[1]; 


replacing 1 with appropriate question hash

Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

yourforum.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=3&user=bob

And then you could use form hooks or hidden fields to get variable.

Thanks again BananaLive,

Could you give me some information regarding the step above or point me somewhere that I can figure out / look up how to do that. I didn't have much luck getting it done as a paid request. I can make the form but getting it to your form is my challenge.

Change user to field name
Change 3 to the correct form id

<form name="form" action="misc.php?do=form&fid=3" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Thanks,

I'll give it a try. I didn't understand the " And then you could use form hooks or hidden fields to get variable." What do I need to do there? Appreciate all and any help.

Thank You for your continued help and patience,

PS - I am using IE 7 and my java is enabled. :|

I tried the new plugin - But it didn't work...

I tried it with "Vbulletin" as the 'Product' first - but tht didn't work either.

how do we find threadid in forums?

I think I can find forum id in acp. But I don't know how to find thread id that I want to send forms to.
