That should get you started.

That's what I did and it asks for me to import an XML file.

Above that you should have link called: Create New Form

http://www.yourforum.om/misc.php?do=newform

[GrossKopf]

DOH! Nevermind. I brain farted. I didn't realize I had to import that xml that was included with it a second time! Should be working now

[GrossKopf]

Ok, I assume that if you don't put anything in "Custom Form Output", it just prints in one continuous line? I have the output going to a specific forum and I need line breaks and different fonts, etc.

Anyone have an example of BBCode to make it look nice in the forum post?

When I use {q_1} in thread title it doesn't work, it just shows a blank space. Any way to solve that?

You'll need to edit the "Answer BBCode" boxes. If you don't want answers formatted in any special way, and just want a line break or two after each one, leave the first box blank, and in the second one, put in:

\r\n\r\n

Check you are using the correct question hash - see screenshot

[Baigo]

Thanks a lot! That was it ^^

Great mod.

Thx.

Works just fine for me.

I have added this to another message board but have forgotten how to redirect the New Thread in the specific forum to the necessary form.

Please advise.

How can I Re-direct/ force users to submit form rather than click new thread?

1. Create plugin newthread_start
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))
{ 
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ; 
} 

   
   Change 1,2,3 for appropriate forumids.
