Instructions
[hr].[/hr]

• Import the product file through your admincp.
• Go into your vboptions section and you will find 3 sections. I will briefly outline them below:

Elricstorm's World of Warcraft Configuration Settings

• Houses all of the generic settings for your form, including name, summary options, redirect options, and many more features.

Elricstorm's World of Warcraft Form Settings

• Houses all of the settings for your form, including faction, level access, and toggle on/off settings for sections and all questions.

Elricstorm's World of Warcraft Form Style Settings

• Houses one font, and 4 color header sets that you can color code.

Once finished, remember to write down whatever name you set in the configuration setting for your "What is the default URL for your form?". The default is "wow_form". In order to access your form you need to set a URL link to:

http://yourdomain.com/yourforums/new...hp?do=wow_form

.. with the ending only changing if you decide to change this configuration setting in vboptions.

All of the vboptions have full title/descriptions so understanding what they do and how to work them should be a piece of cake, even for the most novice of users. If, however, you still have questions or concerns, please direct them here. Please remember that I only provide support for those that click "INSTALL".

By clicking INSTALL you not only receive support but anytime I make a newer version or provide feature updates, you receive them via mail.

Changes
[hr].[/hr]

Version 1.0.1 Fixes

• Fixed the question 3 and question 4 answers as they were pointing to incorrect variables.

Version 1.0.1 Changes

• Completely vbphrased all English and gaming terms in the addon. You can now adjust phrases and change the wording for yourself. This was especially important for European communities that might want to change the languages.
• Go into admincp->languages and phrases-> and perform a search against the product using the "w" character as the search term. You will find all of the phrases that are editable here. The terms are "wow_form_(etc)".

Version 1.0.2 Changes & Fixes

• Fixed vboptions for groups being checked even when toggled off. Now if you toggle groups ON, it only works if you actually add group numbers, and if you toggle it off, it does not check for groups.
• Fixed answer template for newattunement keys.
• Fixed linking for what you enjoy most to being linked with the timezone enable.
• Fixed/Added vbphrasing for HEROIC, RAID, etc. keyphrases on answer template.
• Addon is now completely phrased or optioned.

Version 1.0.3 Fixes

• Fixed the list problem with the answer template for BC Instances
• Fixed the answer template variables for answers 27 and 28.

So, the first thing you should do is check to see if that forumid you are using has permissions set to allow guests to make/create polls.

Just checking...yep...No worries, I've been running/hacking/modding vB for a couple of seconds here thus far...

What I'm saying here is simple: Permissions are perfectly fine.

Like I said, there is a flat out error if the user is a guest (I apologize for not posting the exact error before, lack of foresight there, sorry. I'll get the error tonight and post it for you). But they can post in that forum on their own, and add a poll...

Soooo...

Thanks for attempting a verification of the problem given. I do appreciate that you want to make sure the basics are followed first, but usually I check to see if the user asking for assistance is indeed a nub, or if they just might have a couple of brain cells left.

I may have been unclear:

This happens when I turn off the polling option. In other words, the system says, "yes, I got the submission", but nothing gets posted UNLESS the user is logged in, even though, in the permissions for that forum they can post a thread (verified as me posting under guest (not logged in)). So what you end up with is a guest user who thinks their application was posted, and yet it was not because the data went into never never land. If polling is turned on then I get the errors. Again, I'll post specifics when I get home.

I now "Pass the buck" back to you good sir.

The answer is actually quite interesting and I'm glad you posted the problem. It will give others a solution to the problem you are experiencing.

Because you are using guests, you most likely have "image verification" set on and to some type of GD etc. If you go into your vboptions and to image options, and set this value to "none" - you will no longer have the issue.

Otherwise, the form has no idea or clue how to pass image verification. Keep in mind that while I have allowed the ability for all groups to use the form, turning off image verification would just create the possibility that someone could spam your board.

I hope that helps answer your question.

Thanks for using the system.

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: wow_formanswers -->
<!-- END TEMPLATE: wow_formanswers -->

That has nothing to do with code "within" the product, that's vbulletin calling a template. Those are html commenting open and closed tags used by vbulletin when it says it's calling a template file. If you go into the view source on that recruitment application you will see vbulletin calling other templates. It might be an option or style problem. This does not happen on either my test or main site.

In otherwords, it's not a product problem but most likely an option or style problem on your end.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've been looking for where it's located to take it out but i can't find it. View souce shows it as being written like this: <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: wow_formanswers --> which would make it visible. I'm just not sure where to start.

Hi Elric,

I'm having a small problem with the attunements and keys section. Its appears there is a bbcode tag missing..

Is this something I could fix myself?
Heres a pic: Attachment 67215

Thanks!

[Hyrel]

I had that too. You need to add in a closing tag after the old world attunements in the templet then put a new starting one in the BC attunments.

I would ask the vbulletin.com team on this one. The commenting that you are listing is not something my product actually lists. It's something that vbulletin's code lists. They may have a workaround for you mate. In otherwords, my product does not contain that comment code.

[Hyrel]

hehe aye, I've searched it up and down, it does not Ok I'll ask them.

[flarecde]

The third and fourth optional questions are not showing their answers at all. This is using the latest version. They just come up blank no matter what I put in the fields.

I think I found my problem:

$answer27 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer25'];
$answer28 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer26'];

... should be ...

$answer27 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer27'];
$answer28 = $vbulletin->GPC['answer28'];

^^

Version 1.0.3 Fixes
