FORM to THREAD/ FORUM/ POLL/ PM/ EMAIL - Totally CUSTOMIZABLE FORMS
Version 1.6 for vBulletin 3.x.x by Dr Erwin Loh

Features:

Ever wanted an online form that a user can fill out, which when submitted gets:

1. Posted into a new thread in a forum of your choice
2. Create a new poll in the new thread with options of your choice
3. Posted as a reply in an existing thread of your choice
4. PMed to you or someone else
5. Emailed to an email address you specify
6. Choose to redirect to the post, thread or forum, or a custom thank you message
7. Choose to redirect to editpost to upload attachments

Or any combination or all of the above?

Well, this is the hack for you!

You can use this for:

1) Moderator Applications
2) Quiz Submit Form which gets PMed to a moderator
3) Contact Form that goes to PM, email or thread
4) Guests to apply to be members
5) Report a Moderator form that goes as a PM to you
6) Guests can PM you for whatever reason
7) Order form to buy things
8) Donation form
9) News or Articles submissions that can go straight to a thread

Or anything you like - this hack is totally customizable via the PHP file.
Basically, this hack involves modifying 1 PHP file form.php (you add questions, options etc. in the PHP file itself), uploading it, and then adding 2 templates.

The beauty of this hack is that once you have added the 2 templates, to make a new form, all you need to do is copy the form.php and rename it to form2.php, edit the variables in the PHP file, and you have a totally new form!!! You do not need to touch the templates again.

Format of the form:

1. One main input question
2. 2 Radio buttons Choice questions
3. 3 Normal text input questions
4. 1 Long answer question

This is customizable via the PHP file.

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:

1. Add the 2 templates.

2. Edit form.php - the instructions are all inside the PHP file itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!

3. Upload form.php

Just link to form1.php eg. http://www.yourforum.com/forums/form.php

Done!

Use this hack to make as many forms as you like!

Enjoy!

Updates:

Version 1.1 - Option to force user to answer all questions.
Version 1.2 - Thread count and lastposter information now updated if form is sent to existing thread.
Version 1.3 - ADDED CREATE POLL OPTION!

Version 1.4 - Fixed bug with Form-to-thread code
Version 1.5 - Major update:
- fixed bug where thread count not updated when form to forum
- fixed default posting to allow smilies and sigs when reply to thread
- added templates to cache (saves 2 queries)
- added option to change thank you message
- added options to redirect to post, thread or forum when submit
Version 1.6 - Choose to redirect to editpost to upload attachments

Screenshot is an example of a form - the form title and questions are customizable:

np alqadir!

When the script creates a new thread in a forum,
an error occurs if a member has posted a ' in the thread title.

I'd like to process $ad_title (the var. i've used for the title) to strip out ' and " or any characters that could cause a problem.

doing some research into it, the trim function might do it
http://ca.php.net/trim

Think this would remove ' ? How would I remove "?
trim($ad_title, " ' ");

I crossposted this in the wrong thread (oops) but Delphy suggested using this:

$ad_title = html_entities($ad_title, ENT_QUOTES)

but it creates an error when entering the script...

anyone have any suggestions?

Alright, I thought I had done everything right but obviously not.

This is my form1.php file:

It all matches up, so what the heck am I doing wrong? I keep getting a blank page. No errors, just a blank page. The templates were added to my default style which rolls over to every other style I have. However when I got to http://www.degrassi-boards.com/form1.php it's a blank page.

Easy.

Rename your form1 template as form. The template is meant to be called form.

Alternatively, you can do this:

In your form1.php, find:

PHP Code:


			
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('form') . '");');

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('form1') . '");');

Your form1.php file is looking for the form template, which you are calling form1.

Version 1.6 minor update - added the option to redirect to editpost to upload attachments. Good simple solution provided by abe1, posted by alkatraz - saves me from figuring out a way to hack it.

doh! I should have shut my mouth, lol
hopefully adding attachments to the form is still on your to do list

also, I think having the ability to trim characters that can cause errors with the MYSQL insert would be a huge bonus..

$ad_title = html_entities($ad_title, ENT_QUOTES)

Does that sound like it should work? I tried it but the form gives an instant error if it's included. I'm not a coder tho and could be putting it in the wrong spot.

wouldn't add_slashes() work for that?

Yup, that would do it. I should have sanity checking in the code, but may have forgotten to add it.

Here's what that section of code looks like from your script (unmodified)

PHP Code:


			
('".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[username]))." $formtitle', " . TIMENOW . ", $formforumid,

                                         1, 0, '" . addslashes($bbuserinfo['username']) . "', $bbuserinfo[userid],

                                         '" . addslashes($bbuserinfo['username']) . "', " . TIMENOW . ", 0, 1,

                                         0)

I see ".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($bbuserinfo[username]))." has addslashes around it but $formtitle', doesn't..

I guess that's because you're predefining $formtitle within form.php whereas i've modified it so the form title is specified in an INPUT box on the form which gets submitted. (useful in my situation where i'm forcing members to submit their classified ads through this form)

alkatraz · #**321** 01-06-2005, 02:57 AM

interesting..

I changed it to,

".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ad_title))."

and it no longer gives an error, but still allows the new thread to posted with the ' in it!? So it's not removing anything, it's just adding slashes to allow that character I imagine?

tried adding,
trim($ad_title, " ' ");
inside the submit part of the script to remove ' from the title, but that didn't seem to work either..
