Her's one way there may be others.

While in the admin control panel select

"Forums & Moderators"

then selct "forum management"
then under controls in the middle hit "go" on one of the listed forums.

The forum ID is at the top of the page in that header.

" Help Forum: Main Category (id: 1)"

You can also find the threadid by actually clicking on the thread that you want - you will see the thread address in the address bar at the top of your screen.

The numbers AFTER the '?t=' in that address and BEFORE the '&page=' is the actual forumid.

IE: in the case of this forum, you will see:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201097&page=57

The numbers in Bold are your threadid.

How do I get parameter from url of form posted in custom output? (must have parameter)

1. Form Hook: Form Start

PHP Code:

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'param', TYPE_UINT);
      if (empty($hiddenfield1))
          {
              $errormessage = "Error, this form needs a parameter.";
                 eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
          } 


2. Form Hook: Before Submit

PHP Code:

     $hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_UINT);
      $formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput); 


3. Use {param} in custom output.

Afternoon BA,

That didn't work either.

Any ideas as to what else I could do Please?

Have you any further ideas also, on how I can get in to "Edit" my form for the \r\n too please?


It does not automatically redirect me when I select "Edit" from the drop down menu.



Thanks.

But can we not allow an upload within the form itself ?

I don't understand. By checking 'Allow attachments' the user gets a manage attachments button at the bottom of the form for uploading attachments.

It should do, I tested it on my own forum, are you changing the forumid in the array?

I'll release v3.4 soon which have that issue fixed.

[Welshy2008]

PS. I am using the V3.4 Now, BA.

Yes BA Mate.

Would you be interested in taking a brief look, if I set up an admin account for you? And PM you the details?

I understand if you are too busy or just don't want to.

Thanks.
