What could be the problem?

Have you selected 'Save to Database' as Form Action?

From what I can see there is nothing in the "forumdisplay" template. Which plugin would it be? The form is created and pointing to the correct forum. Just the new thread (review) button does not work.

Thank you for the help

Have a look down the plugin list. It might be called on newreply_form_complete or similar plugin.

Firstly just wanted to say that I absolutely love this addon. It's saved me a ton of trouble on my Warcraft guild forums for applications. So BL, thank you tons! It even works flawlessly for me after upgrading to vB 4.1, a move I was hesitant to make for addons like this.

I do have a question, though. Is there a way to pull the forum's internal date and post it in the thread title? I'm looking for something like a M d Y format auto detected from the boards, but I can't find anything relevant in this thread. Sorry if I've missed it! I have a forum that's in dire need of some structure in the title.

Thank you for an awesome mod!

Hi there Dom.

I have the following code in a form question (thanks to you! :-)) but I would like to control the order of the items in the drop down list - only 2 there for now but will have have maybe 30 or so soon. Ideally I would like total control as I want to order geographically which only I know. Is this possible please? I was thinking I could keep the order in some kind of variable?

Many thanks

Mark

$answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] . "\">";
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if (!in_array($forumid, array(61,56)))
{
continue;
}
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";

Yes, but you'll have to create new array to change order, see below example:

(This would show Forumid 2, Forumid 10, then Forumid 1)

PHP Code:

$newarray = array(
  2 => $vbulletin->forumcache['2'],
  10 => $vbulletin->forumcache['10'],
  1 => $vbulletin->forumcache['1'],
);
$answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id]  . "\">";
foreach ($newarray AS $forumid  => $forum)
{
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";

Cheers for responding.

Would you be able to advise, my hook skills are limited to zero.

Thanks

Nice mod, thanks for that.
But one question: I want to translate the following phrase, but I can't find it by searching all phrases:

"Error, you have exceeded limit for number of times this form can be submitted."

Where can I find this phrase?

Thanks for help
