Thank you so much for this, I love it.

I have a question.

I'd like to have a quiz using the forms, and If a user gets 7 out of 10 or higher, then they are promoted to the next rank automatically. Is there any special coding that I need to add to do this?

Thanks

EDIT: Also, is there a way to close certain forms and not have members fill it out, whilst still having other forms open?

Thanks

So I've changed my: /forum.php/ to /index.php/ ...
I've tried going to: http://domain.com/forum/index.php?do=forms

.. And to no avail, all failure. Can someone please comment and help me out?

P.S - I'm running vBulletin 4.2.0

This is a very good mod and I am planning to use it for a Marketplace forum section. I have seen these same questions in this thread before but haven't found a solution yet.

1. All new threads should go through these forms. When you disallow users to post new threads directly in the forum, it will show an error message when they want to upload attachments with the forum. Is there a way to fix this or remove the New Thread button for these specific forums?

2. Even better, when the New Thread button is clicked, it will direct you to the forms page. Is there a way to set this up?

I had to make a few adjustments but your post pointed me in the right direction. Clicking the New Thread button now goes to the correct form. Thanks so much! :up: :up:

New php plugin

Hook Location: newthread_form_start

Title: Easy Forms New Thread Button

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP code

PHP Code:

if (in_array($forumid, array(221)))
{  
header('Location: http://mywebsite.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=1') ;  
}
if (in_array($forumid, array(222)))
{  
header('Location: http://mywebsite.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=2') ;  
} 


For each forum and form, just keep adding code where the array(xxx) is the forum id and fid=xx is the form id.

Plugin is Active: Yes

Use:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<html here>'; 


[leclownos]

Thank you works very well. Is there a variable to retrieve the ID of the custom issue. And if there are other variable such as you'd give me above you can show us. Thank you cordially.

ps: "Very good hack, bravo."
