Great addon!

I have a question I am not too good on the php part, but what would I put in the form start to prevent users from filling the form out who does not have 200 posts?

Thank you!

Form Hook: Form Start:

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 200)
{
$errormessage = "You need 200 posts to use this form.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}

Hi !
I installed the plugin, but I cannot access the page misc.php?do=forms
Is there something to do after the installation to enable the product?

Answered : I should have read more carefully the description... Sorry for annoyance

[nelson.cabral]

When choosing the action "post to thread" or "post to new thread", is it possible to set the destination thread and/or the destination forum as a form argument?

Yes use the form output complete hook.

PHP Code:

$form[where] = $q_{1}; 


(Replace 1 with appropriate # of the question)

[nelson.cabral]

Wow that was quick! Thank you!
If I want to set the list of all threads in a specific forum as a dropdown question items, is it also possible?

EDIT : more generally is it possible to generate forms choices with php?

Custom Question

php code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$answer .= '<option></option>';
$thisanswer = $q_{$formbit[id]};
$threads = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
WHERE forumid = '10' 
ORDER BY title ASC");
    while($row = $db->fetch_array($threads)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[threadid].'"';
if ($row[threadid] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[title].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>'; 


(Change forumid = '10' to the forumid you want)

EDIT : more generally is it possible to generate forms choices with php?

What do you mean?

[nelson.cabral]

You just answered my second question, I meant generate dropdown items with php (so that i can access database).

Is it possible to link questions? Ie. in a first dropdown list select a forum and in a second one select a thread in that forum?

[TheFocusElf]

Ban, the latest update is fabublous, my LAST question would be VBACMPS integration, survey of the month, for instance. Does it exist? Has anyone had success?

Copying the form elements and using as an HTML code has rendered FAIL for me so far!

Thanks in advance!
