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!

Hi,


This is great and i have it working a treat but for one thing.


I would like the thread title to be what the user inputs for the first variable, you see i am trying to use this as a way of letting users post news to my front page.


I have been trying for 2 hours to get it to work but i'm no good at this stuff and am just guessing really could someone please point out how i would go about it.

I sorted it out, In the incredibly unlikely event that someone else has this problem here is how i fixed it,

In this part

PHP Code:
if ($formforum == "1")
    {
        
$foruminfo verify_id('forum'$formforumid01);
        
$forumperms fetch_permissions($foruminfo[forumid]);
        
$newpost['username'] =& $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
        
$newpost['message'] =& $formsend;
        
$newpost['title'] =& $normalquestion1;
        
$newpost['parseurl'] = '1';
        
$newpost['emailupdate'] = '9999'

I changed this
PHP Code:
$newpost['title'] =& $normalquestion1
to this.

PHP Code:
$newpost['title'] =& $normalanswer1

Simple really but after 11 hours of doing things to the site it took a while to realise...

Is there any way to add a Preview to the form?

My question - is there a way that when I click on the link the the username of the post i was in will become one of the variables for output?

ill try to make it clear...

I run a trading site...if I go to post made by User X and click on the link I want User X's username to be a variable in the form as the person I trade with (etc User X will become $normalquestion1).

Any idea?
anyone?

I've put at least 8 hours into this now and just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to design my own form and keep running into problems. I've tested various changes.

I have copied the form plugin, added and new one, copied the data into the new one and renamed the form. I was able to successfully get into the new form (http://sacredhaven.org/vanguard/foru....php?do=enlist) with no problems.

1) I removed the following from the plugin:

Part 1: 'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
Part 2: $normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];
Question: $normalquestion1 = "What is the meaning to life?";

Part 2: $normalanswer1 = $vbulletin->GPC['normalanswer1'];
Question: $normalquestion1 = "What is the meaning to life?";

The question was gone, but the box to type the answer was still there, so I continued a little further.

2) I changed the following:

$maintemplate = "form_enlist";
$answertemplate = "formanswers_enlist";

I copied the form and formanswer templates, added new ones with the names form_enlist and formanswers_enlist. I haven't gone in to change the data yet because just by making this change, the page loads to a blank empty page now.

This is very frustrating. Can anyone assist?

1. You'll need to remove the entries for $normalanswer1 in the form and answer templates.

2. Are you getting a blank page or does an error show? If the latter, what is the error.

I removed the following from the form_enlist template:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="3">
<b>$normalquestion1</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" colspan="3">
<input type="text" size="30" name="normalanswer1" />
</td>
</tr>


I removed the following from the formanswers_enlist template:

$normalquestion1
$normalanswer1



Still coming up as a blank page, so something else must be happening.

Here's the link to the form: http://sacredhaven.org/vanguard/foru....php?do=enlist


Have I done something wrong or perhaps another plugin is messing this up.

I'm using the following plugins:
Form Hack 3.3
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads 1.20
vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0
Welcome Headers 4.0.6

-------------------------------------
Edit: Just an fyi, the original form that comes with the form hack plugin is working fine from what I can tell.

http://sacredhaven.org/vanguard/foru...ad.php?do=form

It becomes a blank page when I change the path over to the form_enlist template from what I can tell. And, if I try to use the regular form template and remove the generalquestion and generalanswer parts, it still gives me an empty box in the form. I'm lost.

Well, I figured it out. /SIGH

Seems I was altering the Hack Form for my Darkness style but I had my style set to a test style. I went into my options and changed it back to Darkness and it's working.

Oh well, it's always the simple things. Awesome Hack, thank you!

Sounds like you just needed a break from it to figure it out, 8 hours is a long time without one.

Glad you got yours sorted
