How can i add a Date Stamp to the results on a form?

[Consciously79]

Hi Guys,

at first this is a great an very useful mod.

But I have a question or problem. But before I come to that I explain what I want.
I have created a forum and within that I had provide a FanFic section which my users can
write an public their own stories.
But before they do that, there should be a story-header in the first post of the new created
thread.
Normaly each user which want to public a Story use a prefabricated template to copy this in the

first post of the story.

But this is inflexible because the users can't define and choose different values e.g. title of

the story, category in which the story is sort in, age details and so on.
Therfore this mod allowed me to create a template so each of my users can use that for their own

story. This will be very flexible and useful.

Now I come to my problem or question:

When the user use the story-form for his own story and fill in all fields, is there a posibility

when he click on submit, that the form mod will create a thread in the right section with the

value of the e.g. dropdown category field.

Here a example:
Within the FaFic section, there is e.g. two subforen. The first subforen ist called Crime and

the other one is horror. Each subforen is a category at the same time. That means, if the user

had chosen a category the form mod should take the value of the category and will create a new

thread in the right section.

Can anyone help with this issue? I have a form that posts a new thread in a section of my forum where I only want threads posted created with this modification. Problem is, the "Post New Thread" button is at the top of the forum section. Is there a way to hide that button for this forum so that members can only reply to the threads posted with the form, but not create new threads in this forum without using the form?

Thanks.

Edit the forum permissions to not allow users to post. The button will still display, but they will get access denied when they click on it.

If you want to hide the button, you will need to make a few template edits and add some vb:if statements. All of which are unrelated to this plugin.

Wondering if you guys can help me out with this.

I've created a "Date" question, and would like to use it as a unique ID to be tracked/searched easily. In "Date Format in Output:" I'm using PHP format of "mdyGis" but only the month,day,year displays. Time does not display correctly at all and only shows 0000. Any ideas?

Wow, this is soooooo much better than the "form hack" by Abe on version 3.8.6. Extremely easy. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it possible to have a vb if conditional statement based on the form ID? If so, what's the code?

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 70"><a href="/forums/forms.php?do=form&fid=1" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
<vb: else />
<a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if></vb:if>

I go to the forum with the forumid of 70 and the new thread button does not go to the form but the regular new post form.

Thoughts?

Anyone know who to make the new thread for certain forums automatically redirect to the form? I have no idea why the code above isn't working.
