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.
• Parse emails for BBCode
• 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!
You will get an email when a new version is released.

$longanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer1'];

This will give you the 4 Nomral sized text boxes and then a big text area for your 5th item. You can just copy and paste the Normal Question area in the code and change the info in them.

Ok I am officially a moron I guess.

I cannot get the form to do what I want it to, here is my code:

This is not how it should look!

// To add more then one form, copy this whole text, and creat a new plug-in with the hook location 'newthread_start'.
// After, change the form name. You can't have 2 forms with the same name.

// Name of this form
$formname = "form";

Ok...I think I have it...did not know there were two other templates that needed to be edited...WHOOPS

[dieselpowered]

Alright, the form is displaying correctly now, however, when it posts the thread, it is not displaying all the answers that were filled in on the form??

Grrr it is hard to be a moron all the time, however, it seems in this case I have been.

All working, no problems!!!

It is amazing to see what happens when you sit down and read things over and concentrate!

I did think of something.

Is there a way to force members to fill out the form to create a thread?

For example, the member enters the forum and clicks "New Thread" At that point, the form is pulled up and is filled out. The member submit it and it starts the thread. Others can then reply to it.

I have 2 areas where I want all the first post to be uniform.

Thanks!

I am trying to add more fields to the form, however, it appears to not show up. Therefore, I feel that I am missing something. I want to add another text box. I created the variables or whatever you may name it:

// Part 1
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer2' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer2' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer3' => TYPE_STR,
'radioanswer3other' => TYPE_STR,
'answer1' => TYPE_STR,
'answer2' => TYPE_STR,
'answer3' => TYPE_STR,
'dropdownanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'checkboxanswer1_1' => TYPE_STR,
'checkboxanswer1_2' => TYPE_STR,
'checkboxanswer1_3' => TYPE_STR,
'longanswer1' => TYPE_STR
));

// Part 2
$user_name = $bbuserinfo[username];
$normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];
$normalanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer2'];
$radioanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer1'];
$radioanswer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer2'];
$radioanswer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer3'];
$radioanswer3other = $vbulletin->GPC['radioanswer3other'];
$answer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer1'];
$answer2 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer2'];
$answer3 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer3'];
$dropdownanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['dropdownanswer1'];
$checkboxanswer1_1 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_1'];
$checkboxanswer1_2 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_2'];
$checkboxanswer1_3 = $vbulletin->GPC['checkboxanswer1_3'];
$longanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['longanswer1'];

I then added the normalquestion2 under normalquestion1, but it will not show up.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//NORMAL INPUT BOX : QUESTION 1 (do not use quotation marks or you will get a parse error, besides the quotes around the whole text)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$normalquestion1 = "Why is the sky blue?";

$normalquestion2 = "Why is the grass green?";

What am I doing wrong? I could not locate any templates to edit and add this information. Again, I feel that I am missing something here.
