Bump. Has anyone solved the "special characters" bug?

[orangedays]

can i call the form in vbulletin CMS?

[msmayz]

Hi! I need a little help. How can I allow my users to select the subforum into which their form results will be posted?

Edit: Never mind; saw this post and was able to extrapolate my own code based on it.

[msmayz]

Sorry for the double post. I do have another question: What code would I use to allow my users to choose a thread prefix? Maybe something like this? (The prefix IDs For_Sale and For_Trade are already built into my forum.)

if (stristr($qo['4'], "Sale")) {
$prefixid = For_Sale;
}
elseif (stristr($qo['4'], "Trade")) {
$prefixid = For_Trade;
}

Edit: Again, never mind. Found this post, and it works -- now my users can choose their thread prefix.

Aside from the "special characters" bug, I have unregistered/not logged in unable to view a form, yet when it is submit, I guess the timeout occurs and it allows them to submit the form? I simply added a check beforehand to make sure if they were marked as 0 then give them a warning

I am confused regarding what the forms actually do. Does it give me a formatted style for posts or is it a form for emails or what?

It can do both.

Form can Submit to:

• new thread in forum
• new post in thread
• new pm to user
• email address
• save to database

You can customise formatting too.
