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?

When you create a forum, you can make it be a link instead. if the user clicked on the forum they would be directed to your link
I don't know about making the New thread button do it though. maybe by using vb if statements in the template...

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.

that would probably require using the Hooks, but I'm not real sure.

Allowed: BB code, $q[1] (replace 1 with the correct question #), $qn[1], $threadtitle, $form[title], {username}, $thisuser[username] (replace username with any user field). Leave blank to use default layout.

This works well, but the output of radio buttons and checkboxes come out as a number or 'array'. What can I add to the custom form output, to correct this?

I was thinking something with a vb: if, like how you can make a profile field display only if it contained data... but I don't know if that can be done in the forms.

I have been trying variations of this, but nothing successful so far:

<vb:if condition="$prepared['qo_5']">[B]This item has the following damages:[/B] {qo_5}
{qo_damagedetail}</vb:if>

That will be caused by another modification you have installed on your site.

Create vBulletin Plugin with hook location newthread_form_complete

PHP Code:

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

Use custom output with vBulletin conditionals, for example

<vb:if condition="$qo['34']">[img]{qo_1}[/img]</vb:if>

Use {qo_1} instead of {q_1}

Use <vb:if condition="$qo['5']"> rather than <vb:if condition="$prepared['qo_5']">
