Hello Bananalive,
I tried to add a custom question but I got a display error, i.e. what ever is written in the custom question will be displayed in the very top of the page, before the logo.
Actually, what am I trying to do is to add a dependent drop down list that is for the advertisement request period. For example, the first drop down would be the Period [Weeks, Months] and the second list would be the Length [1, 2, 3, 4] where the second one is dependent on the first one.


However, I also tried to write:

PHP Code:

echo "hello"; 


But I produced the same problem.

Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks mate

[bananalive]

Use something like:

PHP Code:

$answer = 'test'; 


These following examples should give you a better idea of how to use custom question:




How can I have a question which is the user's username?

1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following PHP Code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . '" />'; 


How can I have a question which is the current date?

1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following PHP Code:

PHP Code:

$q[$formbit[id]] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], TIMENOW);
      $answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $q[$formbit[id]] . '" />'; 


How can I have a question which gets the Timezone from user's profile?

1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following php Code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="GMT+' . $vbulletin->userinfo[timezoneoffset] . '" />'; 


How can I have a question which gets the Birthday from user's profile?

1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following php Code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[birthday] . '" />'; 


How can I have a question which uses a query?
The following example gets a list of threads in the forumid 10.

1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following php Code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
      $answer .= '<option></option>';
      $thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];
      $threads = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
      WHERE forumid = '10'
      ORDER BY title ASC");
          while($row = $db->fetch_array($threads)) {
      $answer .= '<option value="'.$row[threadid].'"';
      if ($row[threadid] == $thisanswer) {
      $answer .= 'selected="selected"';
      }
      $answer .= '>'.$row[title].'</option>';
      }
      $answer .= '</select>';

For those having problems, editing questions, here is a quick fix until i find solution:

1. Find and delete in template form_formbit
   

   onclick="ajaxwin=dhtmlwindow.open('ajaxbox', 'ajax', 'misc.php?do=editq&id={vb:var formbit.id}&display=simple', 'Editing: {vb:var formbit.question}', '{vb:var formbit.type}', 'width=650px,height=400px,left=300px,top=100px,resize=1,scrolling=1'); return false;"

This will remove the javascript popup and you should be able to edit questions on a seperate page rather than a js popup.

Glad you are back!

I've found that using checkboxes or radiobuttons with the 'Options per row' set to 2, isn't actually putting the 2 options on a row. It's still displaying each option on it's own row. Just letting you know for the Beta.

works perfect man excellent - thanks a lot
