Is there a way to remove the feature "applying to". I actually want to remove the selectable forums.

In the file /includes/functions_staff-application.php, find and remove the following:

PHP Code:

function usml_construct_forum_chooser()
{
    global $vbulletin;

    $forumids = array();

    foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
    {
        $forumperms = $vbulletin->userinfo['forumpermissions']["$forumid"];

        if (
            $forum['displayorder'] > 0
            AND verify_forum_password($forum['forumid'], $forum['password'], false)
            AND ($forum['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['active'])
            AND ($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview'])
        )
        {
            $forumids["$forumid"] = usml_construct_forum_depth($forum['depth']) . ' ' . $forum['title'];
        }
    }
    return $forumids;
}

function usml_construct_forum_depth($depth)
{
    $depthmark = '';

    for ($i = 0; $i < $depth; $i++)
    {
        $depthmark .= '--';
    }
    return $depthmark;
}

function usml_construct_forum_options($forumids)
{
    $options = '';

    foreach ($forumids AS $key => $val)
    {
        $options .= render_option_template($val, $key, '');
    }
    return $options;
} 


In the file /staff-application.php, find and remove the following (these are in the same order as they are in the file (unless already modified)):

PHP Code:

        'forumids'         => '', 


PHP Code:

    $forumids = usml_construct_forum_options(usml_construct_forum_chooser()); 


PHP Code:

        $templater->register('forumids', $forumids); 


PHP Code:

        'forumids'         => TYPE_ARRAY_UINT, 


PHP Code:

    $forumids = usml_construct_forum_options(usml_construct_forum_chooser()); 


PHP Code:

    if (empty($vbulletin->GPC['forumids'])) { $errors[] = fetch_error('usml_staffapp_forumids'); } 


PHP Code:

    if (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['forumids']))
    {
        foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['forumids'] AS $forumid)
        {
            $applyingto[] = $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['title_clean'];
        }
        $applyingto = implode(', ', $applyingto);
    } 


PHP Code:

$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_applyingto]:
$applyingto 


PHP Code:

[b]$vbphrase[usml_staffapp_applyingto]:[/b]
$applyingto 


PHP Code:

        $templater->register('forumids', $forumids); 


In the template usml_staff_application, find and remove the following:

<!-- START FORUMS APPLYING TO -->
        <div class="blockrow">
            <div class="colrow">
                <div class="col1">
                            <select class="primary" id="sel_forumids" name="forumids[]" multiple="multiple" tabindex="1" size="5">{vb:raw forumids}</select>
                            <p class="staffappdescription">{vb:rawphrase usml_staffapp_selectforumsdesc}</p>
                </div>
                <div class="col2">
                    <label for="applyingto">{vb:rawphrase usml_staffapp_applyingto}</label>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
<!-- END FORUMS APPLYING TO -->

Yes

[Merjawy]

Great MOD thanks, never had the need for it before, but now I am checking it out..

Some phrases are hardcoded I had to play around to get away with it..

Like the tiltle, header title, welcome and thank you..

I am working on it..

Thanks

Update: Everything seems to be working fine, till I click Submit and things went real crazy, loads of error many pages
toooooo long to post in here ... Sorry had to uninstall 4.1.10

Update 2: I found out it only goes nuts when I choose to use Polls both private or public, but when I choose create Thread only it worked fine, and it sends PM, but will not create a Thread even though it's set and forum selected

[HMBeaty]

So there's possibly a conflict with 4.1.10 then. I'll look into this and test it when 4.1.10 final is released. Thanks for your feedback

[HMBeaty]

Also, Merjawy, if you wouldn't mind posting step-by-step in detail what you did that caused the error so I can try to reproduce this when I get the final version of 4.1.10 installed, I'd appreciate it

Also, what were the error(s) you received? (You can post in code/php/html tags so it doesn't take up so much room)

Thanks
