Add-On Releases - World of Warcraft Guild Recruitment Form

This is a quick release of my Guild Application form

This uses the Online Gaming Recruitment addition as its base ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182165 ) with a lot of modification to be warcraft specific and have part of it dynamicly created.

Also included is a small tool i wrote to automaticly approve/deny applications via thread prefixes and move threads to a "Graveyard".

From the Readme.
----------------------------------------
All of the options in the control panel may be self explainitory (see images).

Editing the Application form template:
Adding new text field questions are automatic and done in the control panel.
Adding any other field is done through the template editor

Example:
<input type="text" size="30" value="$current_server" name="app[current_server]" />

Any application question must be in the format name="app[XXXXX]" , the value attribute
is the php variable for the preview.

Example of Dropdown (checkbox or radio fields follow similar concepts):
<select name="app[character_class]">
<option value="Druid" <if condition="$character_class == 'Druid'">selected="selected"</if> >Druid</option>
</select>

Every form MUST have the following code at the begining of the form
<form name="vbform" action="newthread.php" method="post" onSubmit="return vB_Editor['$editorid'].prepare_submit(0, $vboptions[postminchars])">
<input type="hidden" value="$formname" name="do" />
<input type="hidden" value="submit" name="action" />
<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="$posthash" />
<input type="hidden" name="poststarttime" value="$poststarttime" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

and the following at the end of the form.
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button" />
<input type="submit" value="Preview" name="submit" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button" />

For the Comment Boxes, you place the variable, $comment_boxes , in the position you want them to appear in the template.

If you want unregistered users to post, you will need
<if condition="!$show['member']"> $human_verify </if>
somewhere in your application form.


Editing the Application Post Template:
Editing this is very straight forward. You put the php variable of the form field name, in the proper template location.
For example, if you have <input name="app[MyQuestion]"> , then you would put $MyQuestion in your template.

The default template requires a new BBCode entry (See images bbCode_Class.png and bbCode_Style.png)

For the Textarea Questions, you will need the following variable, $guild_app_answer_qa_message somewhere in your form.


Thread Prefixes
This makes use of Extensive Prefixes. See the PrefixExample and ThreadPrefixes images.

Application Tools:
This makes it very simple to change prefixes or move applications to other forums. Some of the important items are now a vbulletin option.

Uninstalled and reinstalled.

Instead of a 500 Server Error, I now get the following:

vBulletin Message

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

When clicking "Submit" it goes to the above vB error and the URL is as follows:

"http://www.surprise-mutiny.com/showthread.php?p="

It does not create a new thread, therefore the redirect is trying to send the user to a blank post number.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Results sent via PM. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Problem band-aid'd for now. Selecting "1" in the AdminCP redirect options causes the error; however, redirecting to the forum the post was made it works.

Tried installing this on my site today, but got the following errors cluttering up the top of the page:

Any pointers to help iron this out? I did a search but didn't come up with much that would give me an idea of how to go about fixing this. I'm running vBulletin 4.1.1.

[sweede]

It doesn't work with any 4.x version of VBB and i currently have no plans (or time) to learn vb4's new template systems and recode my mods.

I would love to be able to spend some time and pick up coding again, but for the past year or so I've been working 6am to 6pm 6 or 7 days a week (sometimes up to 20 days in a row without a day off).
