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!

Any help please Abe1?

[blacklancer]

this has been working fine for me, and all of a sudden i am getting the following error

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 763

any ideas??

[criscokid]

In a form I have created I have a drop down list of venues (just venue name without an address). I would like to be able to have the venue and the address posted to a thread though.

Thinking out loud:
Venue list uses $dropdownchoice1a
Venue and address list uses $dropdownchoice1a-detailed
So if I choose $dropdownchoice1a on the form input the form output needs to display $dropdownchoice1a-detailed

Is it possible to do this? I assume it'll be a bit of code that I need to add the plugin... I just need to know what code I would use.

[mousi]

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to change the user's secondary usergroup when a form is submited. Thanks in advance!

I just updated to the newest ver of your Hack Form and for some odd reason I get an error everytime I try to edit the newthread_start hook. This is the error I get in my email:

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect(): Too many connections
/stuff/sites/66web/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 271

MySQL Error :
Error Number :
Date : Monday, November 13th 2006 @ 01:14:12 PM
Script :
http://www.picturemeclubbing.com/for...&day=2000-3-22
Referrer :
IP Address : 66.249.66.242
Username :
Classname : vb_database

to make it so bad, I'm not sure where that url is coming from. I don't even have this hack installed on that address! Help please

Anyone knows how to do so that an application posted by normal members on a hidden forum doesn't show as "Unmoderated". Tried giving them only access to post there but it still shows posts as unmoderated. This is when you submit the application.

Regards

Okay still having issues editing the hook. Will there be a newer update for VB 3.36?
The only way I can update the newthread_start hook is to disable the product. Then go to plugins to edit, save. Then enable the product.

[JohnBee]

Is it possible to have custom output with this hack?
For example I want my members to enter EXIF data for images as they post them however... I want that info to fall to size=1 and float to the right(justified)

Is there a way to customize the output of the form data?

[JohnBee]

kay I found it This is very easy to use
Is there any way to use the attachment feature? I want to use this for an image contest submission system and we use the attachment system to upload the images...

Lucas: Try this. Go to the Forum Permissions, go to the Usergroup in question and change "Can Post Threads" and "Follow Forum Moderation Rules" to Yes. If that doesn't work, check the permissions for that forum.


BTW, there is a new Form Hack 4.0. Go there instead.

Ok, here is a picture of how I want the layout to be, but I still can't work it out.

Can anyone help?

Hello Everyone,

First of all, thanks for the hard work and also for everyones interest in develoiping this nice form addition.

I do have one request although. Is it possible to modifiy the form to allow an image upload (can also set image upload types, ie' .jpg,.gif, etc...)?

I love the form, but this would work great in allowing potential advertisers to also upload their advertising image at the sametime when submitting the completed form.

Thank You,

Nuguru :classic:
