Forms Hack

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!

This hack is created for your use free of charge. No payment is requested. However, if you would like to donate money for the work I put in to this hack, a donation would show your appreciation.

Is there anyway to use this form as a separate .php file (example: /forum/form.php) and not as "/newthread.php?do=form"?

[Thanatos]

I have found that "Adv. Editing Options for Mods and Admins" conflicts with this, but erratically.

Once I uninstalled this, my forms would submit into their specified forums again.

[Jayphen]

So can this form be put anywhere? (ie outside the forum itself, but on the same server etc)

[aflax045]

I have figured out how to put the applicant name in the thread title and know how the "default thread title" works. However, is it possible for this to be:
Applicant Name: Default Thread Title

Example:

UserBob - Administrator Application

[ca99uk]

Hello,

firstly thanks for the hardwork on the form. Secondly it works great for me except one thing (dont know if its possible or not). When a user posts a message using the form the subscription doesnt seem to work. I am using this form as a sort of helpdesk ticket and want the users to get an email when I reply to the post.

It works great if they post without using the form but if they make a post using the form their subscription doesnt seem to work, and they get no email notifications???

Also my HTML or coding skills are very very very very basic so if there is a fix or something I can do to get this working a step by step explanation would be great :nervous:

Any ideas and thanks in advance??

[Jon.]

Can someone tell me what the main hook is, and where i can find it?

[ca99uk]

Anyone? I would really appreciate any help with this one

[silly rabbit]

I've played with this hack a little (works like a charm thx!) question is: If posting 'form' replys to a thread and/or forum has anybody had any good success (they'd like to share) REVERSING THE PROCESS???

Example: Let's say I design my own custom 'signup' page the results of which get posted into a forum. I'd like to be able to 'edit' / retrieve the data posted back INTO A FORM PAGE (ie: repopulate the data) for review / changes as opposed to simply using the Vb editor??

Again, the requests are not coming from a moderated usergroup, and the forum they are pointed to is not set to have posts or threads in the forum moderated. I am using version 3.3

[Elikster]

I have modifed the XML to have it working, and it submits, but it does not get it posted into the forum itself as it is intended here. Here is the copy of the XML file.

I'm having a problem with unregistered users accessing/viewing a form. We would like this form application to be accessible outside the forum to unregistered users.

I currently have the USERGROUP permissions not enabled and set the same as the default form hook, as below.

// if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(2,5,6,7))) print_no_permission();

I have tried adding usergroup 1 as an ID and enabling this setting but it did not help.

A registered user or administrator can access and submit forums without a problem. But I need for unregistered users to be able to view/submit.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

[Elikster]

Got it all working properly now. Found one ; that shouldn't be there that caused it not to post at all.

[FLMom]

I am about to install! Thanks

[FLMom]

Alright, I need help please!!

I installed this and I am assuming I did it the right way, but I can't seem to find it anywhere? In the step #3 of the install when it says "3 - To get to the form, go to: /newthread.php?do=form (change "form" to the name of your form if you have few)"
How do I go to that? I am new to this stuff and just can't figure it out. Can someone please explain this too me? TIA

I'm new to this too.. but I can maybe help a little.

In Plug-In Manager in the ACP you will see a hook called "Form Hack". That is the "main hook" referenced in the instructions. Edit form hack and follow the instructions to save a form with a new name. Then edit the "new" hook and set options the way you want them.

There are also two templates, form and formanswers, that have to be modified if you customize the appearance. I made new templates for my customized form so I always have the main one to look at for default options.

Hope this helps you a little.
