Forms Hack

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!

Hi,

This works great for posting into one forum, but I'm having a problem figuring out how to get it to post to various forums depending on the value selected from the drop-down.

What I am trying to achieve is this :

If dropdownanswer1 = dropdownchoice1a then formforumid="59"
If dropdownanswer1 = dropdownchoice1b then formforumid="26"

I have about 18 different forums where this form will be used, I only have 3 in the templates for now for testing.

Can't seem to figure out whether the problem lies in the hook, or whether there needs to be some template mod.

Anything I try results in either a parse error or a scalar value error.

Any help appreciated.

Thx.

Usergroup Question

PHP Code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//USERGROUPS ALLOWED
//You can add or remove usegroups that are ALLOWED to use this form by changing the numbers below in the array.
//To enable this feature, remove the '//' before the 'if'.
// 2 = Registered Users // 6 = Administrators // 11 = Lore Enthusiast // 12 = Lore_Room_01
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,11))) print_no_permission();

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 


As you can see, I have this set to allow usergroups 6 and 11 to view and to use this form. This only checks to see if they are in a Primary group though. I'd like the form to check to see if the user was in either of these groups as a Primary or Additional. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Also, once the form is completed, I'd like to add a line at the end of the form to add them to a different "Additional Usergroup". Any help would be appreciated and I'll gladly send you $10 via paypal if you coding makes this work.

Thanks,
Nick

Let me know if this works. I wrote this for a prive hack and modifide it for you.

PHP Code:

$check1 = explode("|", '6|11');
$check3 = explode(",",$vbulletin->userinfo[membergroupids]);

foreach ($check1 AS $check2)
{
    if ($check2 == $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid])
    {
        $is++;
    }

    foreach ($check3 AS $check4)
    {
        if ($check2 == $check4)
        {
            $is++;
        }
    }
}

if (!($is))
{
    print_no_permission();
}

Abe1,

You are good. That definitely did the trick. Just PM me with an email to send the Paypal donation.

I did have a 2nd request in that message though, I'm guessing you missed it.

Also, once the form is completed, I'd like to add a line at the end of the form to add them to a different "Additional Usergroup".

At the end of the form, I'd like to have them added to Membergroupids 12 (Additional Usergroup). In other words, I don't want the group to become the Primary for them, just to have them added to a secondary.

I'll put ADD_MEMBERGROUPIDS_HERE; for where I'd like to add it in my code.

PHP Code:

    if ($redirectoption == "5")
    {
        if (($quest_answer == 'ANSWER') || ($quest_answer == 'answer'))
        {
            $vbulletin->url = '../index.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "page=Next_Page";
            ADD_MEMBERGROUPIDS_HERE;
            eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks'));
            exit();
        }
        else
        {
            $vbulletin->url = 'newthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=Same_Form";
            eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks'));
            exit();
        }
    } 


That will add them to Membergroupids 12 only if they type in ANSWER or answer in the form.

Thanks again for your help!

You can use the paypal donate link for this hack above.

I must have missed the 2nd part. It would take a while ot make the other thing.

Any info on the drop-down ? This has been asked in this thread so many times (not just by me) but no answers. As I said in my post above, it works fine for posting to a single pre-defined forumid.

Would I just be best just hard-coding the template with the drop-choices and then passing the forum ID back instead of the choices ? I'm at a loss of the best way to go about this.

thx.

[Sarcoth]

Abe1,

Just curious, for adding to a Membergroupids, could we just reuse the code you gave me for checking to see if someone is in a Membergroup and then instead of "print_no_permission();" -- you could instead say add that membergroupid to this user?

Something like this (12 being the secondary member group I want to add the user to if they answer correctly):

PHP Code:

$check1 = explode("|", '12'); 
$check3 = explode(",",$vbulletin->userinfo[membergroupids]); 

foreach ($check1 AS $check2) 
{ 
    if ($check2 == $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid]) 
    { 
        $is++; 
    } 

    foreach ($check3 AS $check4) 
    { 
        if ($check2 == $check4) 
        { 
            $is++; 
        } 
    } 
} 

if (!($is)) 
{ 
    $check3->set('membergroupids', $check3);
} 


Not to sure what to put in that final if statement, but was hoping you would. I've been testing a few things with no luck.

The other thing I tried was something Amy had posted for adding to a secondary group. Sadly it gave a Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ..../newthread.php(68) : eval()'d code on line 403. I know I missed setting a variable, but just not sure what one and what to set there.

PHP Code:

$membergroupids = $userdata->fetch_field('membergroupids');
    if ($membergroupids)
    {
        $membergroupids = $membergroupids . ", 12";
    }
    else
    {
        $membergroupids = 12;
    }
    $userdata->set('membergroupids', $membergroupids); 


Anyhow, I'll take what I can get. Thanks again for your help on the first problem.

Hi, great hack, have it installed and its working except for Unregistered users. I have tested it with other usegroups and it works fine but guests form inputs simply arent processed. The thread is created but the thread does not have any content. I have set all the permissions for guests to allow them to post in the thread where the form should submit the output of the form but it just creates a thread with nothing in them except "Unregistered". Any ideas? I have set the permissions correctly, I am pretty sure. Any chance of some assistance please

If you look at the attachment, you will see how it looks like, all screwed up

Thank you.
