Why? build_new_post() function is just an easy way to access the datamanagers but in this mod it is advantageous not to have extra permissions checked

build_new_post() is used for new threads atm.

Apologies if the answer to this is on this thread already.

Can this mod be used to allow users to subscribe to a forum as a condition of their entry to it? E.g. if you want to collect user address details upon registration to your site? Or perhaps if you wish to allow them to register on the site as registered users using the default details then ask them for more details to subscribe to a particular forum within your site...... if for example you have a group that wants a mailing database but you don't need it on the entire site? Or perhaps if you simply wanted them to provide a registration number to gain access to a particular forum?

I am also having trouble with permissions as i have to allow everyone to edit everyones entries as the edit personal entries does not work

Thanks in advance.

Create plugin with vBulletin Hook Location: newthread_form_complete with the following php code:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))
{ 
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ; 
} 


Change 1,2,3 for appropriate threadids.

its a test and its basically 1 of 2 choice's but i want to average the score and based on that score i want it to rate the test

so score of 20 7 or highest and the score of 20 1 or lowest answers is lowest

and maybe a middle then i would like it to say in the final results the score that was calculated

any help would be really appreciated ..rofl

Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:

$disabled_updateuserids = true;  
$closed=true;
$count = 0;
foreach ($q AS $a => $b)
{
 if ($a && is_numeric($b) && $b > 0)
 {
  $average += $b;
  $count++;
 }
}
if ($count != 0)
{
$q['average'] = $average/$count;
if ($q['average']>5)
{
$formoutput = "you are hillbilly average 5+";
}
else
{
$formoutput = "you are not hillbilly average 5-";
}
}

I want to create a membership renewal form. Basically, all our users have the same primary user group (registered users, id:2) but most have joined 1 or more secondary "additional" groups. Each year they have to re-new their membership and I think we can use your forms mod to make this task much easier.
When the user goes to the form, I would like to have a renewal clause that they must accept as well as have each of their additional usergroups displayed (these are the 2010 year groups) with a check box so if they don't want to renew they can just uncheck that particular additional usergroup and on form submission that additional usergroup would get dropped from their account. I would also like to, upon submission, move the user from the checked groups (2010) to a pre-defined 2011 version of the particular group.

Example user4 bob is a member of the following secondary groups:
_ Clause > must be checked to proceed
_ 2010 Hunting group (id:18) > if checked, upon submission move to 2011 Hunting group (id:30)
_2010 Fishing group (id: 27)> if checked, upon submission move to 2011 Fishing Group (id:40)

Bananalive - any suggestions on how to go about this? Thanks!
