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:

My website is automotive themed, and we have a couple Tech forums, where members come to ask advice on how to fix various problems that they are having with their vehicles. A common problem that we see is when a member doesn't give important information when they are starting a thread. There have been times when all they'll say is: "My car runs crappy. What's wrong with it?" They forget that we may not know their Make/Model/Year, etc. For a couple years now, I've wanted to have a form that needs to be filled out in order to make a post in that forum, so that I could tell them specifically what info is needed.

I don't know what your forum is about, but perhaps you could find a similar use for this wonderful hack.

Attached is a pic of my form page.

Take care,
~Chris

I am working on something very similar (automotive) and would like almost identicle information to what you have. Would you be willing to send me your form and templates? I'd really appreciate that. I'm not looking to copy what you have, but just want to see what you did to get it working.

Thanks alot!

morrow · #**383** 03-15-2005, 02:45 AM

Can somebody / anybody who has this installed with multiple questions post their working sample? I'd really love to get this hack up and running with more than the stock questions.

Thanks!

morrow · #**384** 03-15-2005, 05:33 PM

Can I offer some $$$$$$ for some help here? Let's not get too crazy, what I'm asking for will take someone approximately 1 1/2 minutes to accomplish.

Thanks

ChrisBaktis · #**385** 03-16-2005, 07:31 PM

what do you want a template of the form.php file?

I would like the form.php and the two templates. I would like to look at somebody's working copy. I know the version here works, but it only provides 1 of each type of question. All I would like to do is see what this software looks like with multiples of each question, or at least the first question.

Thanks for the response.
