Forms Hack · **Released**: 08-09-2005

Forms Hack 3.5

Features:

Ever wanted an online form that a user can fill out, which when submitted gets:

Posted into a new thread in a forum of your choice
Create a new poll in the new thread with options of your choice
Posted as a reply in an existing thread of your choice
PMed to you or someone else
Emailed to an email address you specify
Choose to redirect to the post, thread or forum, or a custom thank you message
Choose to redirect to edit post to upload attachments
See a preview before they submit

Or any combination or all of the above?

Well, this is the hack for you!

You can use this for:

Moderator Applications
Quiz Submit Form which gets PMed to a moderator
Contact Form that goes to PM, email or thread
Guests to apply to be members
Report a Moderator form that goes as a PM to you
Guests can PM you for whatever reason
Order form to buy things
Donation form
News or Articles submissions that can go straight to a thread

Or anything you like - this hack is totally customizable via the AdminCP.

The beauty of this hack is that once you install this hack, to make a new form all you need to do is copy the main hook, rename it to whatever you want, edit the variables in the hook, and you have a totally new form!!! You do not need to touch the templates again, but can always create new ones and use different templates for different forms.

Format of the form:

One main input question
3 Radio buttons Choice questions
3 Normal text input questions
1 Drop down menu
3 Check boxes
1 Long answer question
1 VB message editor text box question

This is customizable via the hook.

Also:

You can set the usergroups you want access to this form.
Depending on your forum permissions, if the new thread is in a public forum, members can reply to it. This hack allows a form to submit the new thread or post wherever you want it to go.
Force the user to answer all questions.

INSTALLATION
Easy - takes only a few minutes:

Import the XML into products. (admin cp -> Plug-in System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product)
Edit the main plug-in - the instructions are all inside the hook itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!
To get to the form, go to: /newthread.php?do=form (change "form" to the name of your form if you have few)

Done!

Use this hack to make as many forms as you like!

Enjoy!

Can i see any shot / demo for this?

Searched the thread but no luck

PtP · #**306** 12-06-2005, 09:15 PM

Code:

One thing I would love to do is force the form to use a particular style rather than the default one that the forums are using, what would be the easiest way to archieve this?

So nobody else has needed this feature? I have hosted forums on my server and would love to use this for projects on the hosted forums using their style rather than my default style.

Abe1 · #**307** 12-07-2005, 12:43 PM

Version 3.1:

Brought back the standard text box (longanswer)

I also renamed what the vbtext box now uses. $vbtextquestion, $vbtextexplain, and $vbtextanswer are used for the vb text editor box.

fabianv · #**308** 12-07-2005, 04:45 PM

I tried adding a second form on vb 3.5.1 but it wont work when I access

/newthread.php?do=form2

Where did I make my mistake?

Abe1 · #**309** 12-07-2005, 04:52 PM

1) templatetype should not be changed.

2) formanswers template should be renamed formanswers2

fabianv · #**310** 12-07-2005, 07:49 PM

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Everything works perfectly now!
