Hi ,

I put the name in the form and it takes me to the form ( all good ) , I then view source and the name I entered on the previous page is there right as you described ( all good ) but when I submit it only the field shows up on the new thread. ( getting close )

Thanks

Hi,


When I use these two together it works , was that the instruction ? Separately they don't work.

The alternative would be to use this code: (it justs adds the field like another question at the end of the form output)

PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Username" . $form[pstq];
$formoutput .= $form['prea'] . $hiddenfield1 . $form[psta]; 


Thanks

It is also not giving any form to write answers? I chose CUSTOM and then typed the question but
I can see the question ... but no place to write the answer

They do different things so you need them both in the Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_NOHTML);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput);  
$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Username:" . $form[pstq];
$formoutput .= $form['prea'] . $hiddenfield1 . $form[psta];

Have a look at the help file

If you use custom, you should use something like:

PHP Code:

$answer = "html code for question here";

It will save the form result in a separate database like a post which can be accessed by those able to edit forms.

Form Hooks, I left it blank.. I thought it would use default? How do I put it then?
