The BBCode format of forms with section headers is a little mucked up.

Sample:

Screenshot of formatted BBCode

There is no break between section and the question immediately following the section. I've bolded the questions above in the example.

Curious, is there any possibility we could see the mod functional with the new official vB Mobile style?

Maybe, in the future, I haven't looked at the mobile style yet. Have you tried using it with the mobile style? I assume the form results wouldn't display very well in mobile style because they are very wide tables, but perhaps viewing & submitting the form would be fine.

1. I have changed the plugin to launch the form from forums 53 & 65. Thanks.

2. The PHP code now shows the full forum list in the form if I don't filter - but doesn't show anything in the drop down if I restrict this. For example only including 53,65 in the array?

3. The thread prefix which is also working off a drop down doesn't show anything in the list either until I submit, then it says its missing, and then the drop down is populated. I can then select and submit - as long as the filter isn't on as per 2.

The form hook before submit presently shows:

$form['prefixid'] = $qo['prefix'];
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = $qo['forumid'];

The first row I already had for the prefix, and then added the second row now. Maybe they should be reversed?

btw the PHP in the custom question for the prefix is:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true);
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">';
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';
$answer .= $prefix_options;
$answer .= '</select>';

Finally, my initial test posted the thread in to the forum I launched the form (and is the default forum in the form body) from even though I selected another forum from the drop down list. I may have to do more testing re this point once a couple more of the other things are clarified.

Many thanks for your help.

Put the forum question first, then the plugin question second.

And then change the php of the plugin to:

PHP Code:


			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php'); 

$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]]; 

$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($q['forumid'], $thisanswer, true); 

$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">'; 

$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>'; 

$answer .= $prefix_options; 

$answer .= '</select>';

But the person will have to click submit or preview after selecting/changing their forum, unless you have a default forumid to fetch prefixes from, so then the code above should be

PHP Code:


			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php'); 

$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]]; 

if (!$form['forumid'])

{

$form['forumid'] = 53;

}

$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true); 

$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">'; 

$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>'; 

$answer .= $prefix_options; 

$answer .= '</select>';

Thank you - this is all good. Nearly there.

My one remaining issue is to do with the drop down list of the forums in the custom question (now #1 with prefix #2 question and yes I do have a default forum to get the prefixes from) and filtering using an array. I am using:

$answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] . "\">";
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if (!in_array($qo['forumid'], array(53,9999,34,55,65)))
{
continue;
}
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";

However I still don't get any values displayed - the drop down list is empty - would you mind please checking the syntax for this? (I am launching the form from forum 53 by the way)

Finally - one unrelated question - is it possible to display the prefix in the custom form output - I don't see a variable name for it and wondered.

Many thanks for your help.

Great addition to the forum .. thanks.

Question which I hope someone can with :-
Creating a form as a Vendors agreement.
1/ Your Company Name .. Single line text field
2/ Vendors Agreement .. Custom
3/ Comments .. Multi-line text field
4/ Agree to agreement .. yes/no question

When form is submitted, everything but the agreement is submitted but the only place I could place the agreement is in the 'custom' description box. I need that agreement submitted with the form !?

Thanks

markb5900 · #**1160** 03-12-2011, 03:23 PM

I have several categories with several forms in each category.

I would like to have them display across the screen in columns instead of full screen width for each one.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

See attached for what I have right now.

Thank you

You'll need to edit template form_list_top and/or form_list_cat.
