Hi and sorry for the double post!

i use this code in a custom qo! It works! BUT: in the results_table, results_poll and in the output (Thread) the answer of the Question is only the Forum ID (See @ Screens). It it possible to save the Forumtitle and not the Forum id in the Database/ Thread ?

kind regards

Can I password protect certain forms?

I understand it is not possible to include attachments to the email?
Is it possible to include a link of a newly created thread w/ attachments to the email?

Thanks

How to add forms in quick links on vb 4.2.1

[axelfx07]

How do you insert some intro text before the form? I assume using

Form Hook: Form Start

but how do you insert html in there?

Can someone please tell me why vbulletin is telling me it's unknown location at Who's online?

These are enabled at the plugins;
Online_location_prossess

PHP Code:

if ($filename == 'forms.php' && $actions['do'] == 'forms')
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'forms';
}
if ($filename == 'forms.php' && in_array($actions['do'], array('form', 'postform', 'updateformresult')))
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'form';
} 


Online_location_unknown

PHP Code:

if($userinfo['activity'] == 'forms')
{
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="forms.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'do=forms"> '.$vbphrase[Become_admin_form].'</a>'; 
    $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['forms'];
    $handled = true;
}
$fid = $userinfo[fid];
if($userinfo['activity'] == 'form')
{
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="forms.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl]."do=form&fid=$fid"> ".$vbphrase[viewing_form_generic].'</a>'; 
    $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['forms'];
    $handled = true;
}

I again,

I have created a custom question which only the forum title outputs when the form called. That works also. Unfortunately, in the database and the thread just shows "-". Maybe someone can help me with this problem? Here is the code:

$answer = '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">'; 
      $thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]]; 
      $threads =$db->query_read("SELECT title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum 
      WHERE forumid = '$fid'"); 
      while($row = $db->fetch_array($threads)) { 
      $answer .= '<option value="'.$row[threadid].'"'; 
      if ($row[threadid] == $thisanswer) { 
      $answer .= 'selected="selected"'; 
      } 
      $answer .= '>'.$row[title].'</option>'; 
      } 
      $answer .= '</select>';

I know that there isnt support for this mod, but the basic online.php script.. I guess it can be worked out by someone else?

[msilber]

When you have the form be submitted as a new thread is there any way to have a field or multiple fields be added as tags onto the new thread? I would like to use this as an easy way of sorting and searching through threads.

Thank you for any help.

[DannyC55]

Has anyone else found that even though different outputs, the same one is posted.. i.e output 34 displays for output 35, 36, 37, 38?

Each of which are (Field using vBulletin editor).

Additionally, I couldn't seem to get the if condition working.
I'd like if question 5 output is x, then post the output for question 6 too.

Thanks,
D
