New Posting Features - Form Hack

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
• Send to multiple emails.
• Send multiple PMs.

• And finally, ATTACHMENTS!

Version 4.1: (04/24/2008)

• Fixed for vb 3.6.10
• Small bug fixed.
• List of the 2 quick edits are in the zip file so you don't have to start making a form from scratch.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL!

Great addon!

Too bad it doesn't have a flashy GUI to design forms

I've managed to install everything but something's still not working and I can't figure out why. It creates a new thread in the proper subfourm but it lists all answers under the first question and after that, it lists questions 2-6.

I'm using 6 long questions and the following is my answers template:

PHP Code:

$formtitle
$bbuserinfo[username]


-----------------------------------------------------
$longquestion1

$longanswer1


$longquestion2

$longanswer2


$longquestion3

$longanswer3


$longquestion4

$longanswer4


$longquestion5

$longanswer5


$longquestion6

$longanswer6

------------------------------------------------------ 


Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

It is hard to isolate and help without seeing all your code. It looks like it should be working correctly.

The answers template looks right and it should be working correctly as long at you have your plugin set up right.

A lot of people make the mistake when editing there plugin and thinking that only have to edit Part 1 and Part 2 of the plugin code. But they also have to edit and add code below this line:

if ($answerall == "1")

I would remove that code if it is in there and try it again.

Could you post a sample of the thread contant that it it posting?

It might also have something to do with putting html in this line of cose in you plugin:

$longexplain2 = "While browsing the boards, you notice the following post in the <strong>Couples</strong> subforum:<br/>\
<i>plz h3lp me. i w4Nt A cUst0m 4vat4R BuT d0n'T kn0w wh3r3 to Upl04d it. h3lP!</i>.";

I have no idea where the first few lines come from, I think it has something to do with TextEdit, where I c&p the whole thing.

I'll remove the html though. I can't believe I didn't think of that myself. Thank you!


ETA: I've removed the html code and something changed, but not like I wanted it to. It now submits the answer of question 6 to where number 1 should be and answers 1-5 get completely lost on the way to the thread.

That tells you that something is messed up in the plugin edits that youd did.
