Form Hack · **Released**: 09-14-2006

Form Hack 4.1

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
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
Upload attachments

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!

Updates:

Version 4.0: (09/15/2006)

Ported over for vb3.6

Everything else works fine I just cant get this section of code to work.

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$attachmentoption">

<tr>

<td class="alt1" colspan="3" align="center">

<div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth]" align="$stylevar[left]">$attachmentoption</div>

</td>

</tr>

</if>

Ive tried it without the <If> and as a stand alone $attachmentoption, even moved it to other area's on the template.

I really appreciate it Deepdog009

Heres that Zip.

Ive included a Screen shot just in case and the three files. All I changed was the basic setup in the plugin script. The other 2 templates should be unchanged.

I am going slow with my designing and it has been smooth till this point of point (well, at least not until I start playing around with the conditional stuff).

Anyway, for my first question. How can I move/shift the center split line (which I have highlighted in red) towards the left? I have tried playing around but can't seem to get it to work

Thanks in advance.

ccplim,,,
I can help,,, but only if you post the main TEMPLATE info here in one of your posts...

ccplim · #**1018** 05-11-2008, 03:08 AM

Hi Deepdog009,

Thank you so much for that. I have attached my form template here for your reference.

Most of the original codes were left untouch. I bascially insert what I need before the original codes and keep pushing them downwards (will only remove those original codes when I complete my entire form).

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
