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!

You're missing a comma after your 3 variable declaration

if you're referring to this:

Code:

// Part 1
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
'normalanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'dropdownanswer1' => TYPE_STR,
'normalanswer2' => TYPE_STR
));

that's not it... because the last variable in that array is not supposed to have a coma after TYPE_STR (at least that's how the plugin comes by default).

Mine does and it works *shrug*

well, i tried it with or without the comma, and that's not it...

EDIT: I got it, I think...

I changed the $formforumid to "3", which is a non-existant forum on my board (from "0" which was probably giving me an error), and it works just fine now.

However, I am still not getting this form submitted to the email I specified in the template.

I think this is possible simply by nabbing the page referrer from the user's browser. I know how to do this via html, but am clueless when it comes to vB coding. Can you help me do this?

Find: eval('print_output("' . fetch_template("$maintemplate") . '");'); and you can put defuat values before it.

Any help would be great!

You can see my form at http://www.amend-eq2.com/forums/newt...php?do=Recruit

If I could just fix this one, small issue, I'd be in love with this hack. Great work bud.

You can't use HTML in the answer template. You can use BBcode though.

jodycwilliams · #**818** 04-23-2006, 03:31 AM

*shrug* I redid it with CSS and all and it is working great. Just gotta make sure HTML is enabled in the forum.

Suzie · #**819** 04-23-2006, 05:48 PM

Is is possible to add the thread rating to the form? I am using this for a product review section and I would like for the user to be able to rate the product with the stars.

rnmcd · #**820** 04-24-2006, 02:20 PM

I apologize for asking this question because I'm sure it's been answered somewhere in the 50+ pages of post but I only read about 13 pages...

Is it possible to add/remove fields?
For example, can I add 3 more form fields?

Does "This is customizable via the hook" mean that I can add/remove fields?

By the way, I am getting this error:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/board/newthread.php(68) : eval()'d code on line 127

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

azntfl · #**821** 04-26-2006, 01:31 AM

Hello

First post btw. This is my first hack and I it is great. I just got one question for now. It is possible to make the text box for the longanswer a little smaller, its quite large.

Thanks in advance.

Abe1 · #**822** 04-26-2006, 02:11 AM

Yes. You can do it in the template.

steven s · #**823** 04-26-2006, 02:25 AM

I'm not sure if there is a warning when upgrading but. . .
I have a custom additional form that was wiped out when I upgraded.
Fortunately I backed up my database. After restoring the database I saved a local copy. Upgraded and copied my form back. All is good.

Crazy Serb · #**825** 04-26-2006, 10:22 PM

is anyone else having a problem with emails being sent/submitted through the form hack (if enabled)?

for me everything works just fine except for the email sending part... and that's the most important feature I need!

COBRAws · #**826** 04-27-2006, 01:38 AM

Abe1, I've been using this hack for quite a long time but never had the time to thank you =)
