Thanks and Warmest Regards,

Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:

if (empty($postattach))
{
    $currentattaches = $db->query_read("
    SELECT dateline, filename, attachmentid
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment
    WHERE posthash = '" . $db->escape_string($posthash) . "'
    AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
    );

    while ($attach = $db->fetch_array($currentattaches))
    {
        $postattach["$attach[attachmentid]"] = $attach;
        $attachcount++;
        $formoutput = str_replace('[attach]'.$attachcount.'[/attach]','[attach]'.$attach['attachmentid'].'[/attach]',$formoutput);
    }
} 


Then use this in Custom Form Output:

[attach]1[/attach]

The only thing I can suggest is to increase your server's max_packet_size. (Or ask your host to do it.)

It was but just to make sure, I recreated the question and updated to the new question hash and it still failed. I double checked the forumid as well.

I'm also having a problem where when a user hits preview, it automatically fills in all dropdown select boxes with the first selection.

yeah, it does this on my site as well.

I was wondering if it is possible that, that the form which is produced can be automatically posted as a thread in a certain category?

Like introduction, applications?

you can have the form results be added as a thread (or a reply) in which ever forum/thread you want.
That is one of the options when you create/edit the form

Thanks,

Sorry I didnt use the application and posted, I got it working the way I wanted .

One more thing if possible in vB 4.0, when we click new thread in a particular category say introductions it should redirect to a form is that possible?
Also, when we click new post in a particular thread, lets say "All reports here", it should redirect to another form. Is that possible?

Very awesome mod. Nominated!

One question that is probably very easy. I skimmed the thread but didn't see an answer.

In the custom output, what would I need to write to have certain content only appear if an optional field is completed?

i.e. User ticks boxes indicating damages on item. I want it to display: "Seller reports the following damages: (answer output)." If they don't tick any boxes, I don't want any part of the sentence. (I'm also using it for linked images, so I don't want the IMG tags to appear if they haven't pasted a URL in one of the optional fields).

Thank you again for the mod.
