Forms Hack · **Released**: 08-09-2005

Forms Hack 3.5

Features:

Ever wanted an online form that a user can fill out, which when submitted gets:

Posted into a new thread in a forum of your choice
Create a new poll in the new thread with options of your choice
Posted as a reply in an existing thread of your choice
PMed to you or someone else
Emailed to an email address you specify
Choose to redirect to the post, thread or forum, or a custom thank you message
Choose to redirect to edit post to upload attachments
See a preview before they submit

Or any combination or all of the above?

Well, this is the hack for you!

You can use this for:

Moderator Applications
Quiz Submit Form which gets PMed to a moderator
Contact Form that goes to PM, email or thread
Guests to apply to be members
Report a Moderator form that goes as a PM to you
Guests can PM you for whatever reason
Order form to buy things
Donation form
News or Articles submissions that can go straight to a thread

Or anything you like - this hack is totally customizable via the AdminCP.

The beauty of this hack is that once you install this hack, to make a new form all you need to do is copy the main hook, rename it to whatever you want, edit the variables in the hook, and you have a totally new form!!! You do not need to touch the templates again, but can always create new ones and use different templates for different forms.

Format of the form:

One main input question
3 Radio buttons Choice questions
3 Normal text input questions
1 Drop down menu
3 Check boxes
1 Long answer question
1 VB message editor text box question

This is customizable via the hook.

Also:

You can set the usergroups you want access to this form.
Depending on your forum permissions, if the new thread is in a public forum, members can reply to it. This hack allows a form to submit the new thread or post wherever you want it to go.
Force the user to answer all questions.

INSTALLATION
Easy - takes only a few minutes:

Import the XML into products. (admin cp -> Plug-in System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product)
Edit the main plug-in - the instructions are all inside the hook itself, in the top half. Follow the instructions carefully!
To get to the form, go to: /newthread.php?do=form (change "form" to the name of your form if you have few)

Done!

Use this hack to make as many forms as you like!

Enjoy!

In the answer template, add a space after $confirmation

Spinball · #**424** 12-27-2005, 08:09 PM

Thanks Abe, but that didn't make any difference.

in the form main template,

find this:

PHP Code:


			
<input type="hidden" value="submit" name="action" />

add under this:

PHP Code:


			
<input type="hidden" value="$forumid" name="f" />

Spinball · #**428** 12-28-2005, 04:06 PM

Abe, that works!!!!
Thanks very much for your patience and help in sorting this out.
AV Forums members now get a classified advert submission form (with rules agreement tickbox) when creating a thread in in all the classifieds forums.
Using it with your related new thread hack.
May I suggest that you add this useful information into the hack as standard?
Thaks again. Fantastic.

I'm posting this again.
I'd like to have the form sent to the user as a PM.

//USERNAME TO PM TO
//$formpmname = "Abe";
$formpmname = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

Will work unless the person has their PMs OFF. Then I get
Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

Is there a conditional statement I can use if the person is accepting PMs and not above quota, use $formpm = "1"; and if not $formpm = "0";

Regards

I would like to sent the email to a user group, Does somebody have some code or idea about how to do that?

Thanks

jdebler · #**434** 12-29-2005, 04:27 PM

Abe:

AWESOME hack...thanks for your outstanding support so far. We will be using this and a small PayPal token of appreciation will be on the way once we get it all working the way we need to.

Is is okay to use javascript in the form? I need to limit the number of charaters in a text area to a specific number. I have the javascript code to use (unless you know of a better way), but I need to know if there are any specific things I should know when implementing it.

Thanks again!

bluesteel · #**435** 12-29-2005, 04:31 PM

Great hack Abe1. Having some fun with it,but now I'm stuck

I don't know if this is possible, but in the answers, can a conditional be set somewhere that show an image depending on what the $radioanswer1 answer is?

ie if radioanswer 1 = Yes, show image 1
else
show image 2

if you know what I mean lol

Works great! I used that to make a custom thank you based on whether they have their PM on or off also.
