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.

Hi im new to vBulletin and the mods that work with it. I've installed the xml file via products, set the permissions for which UGs can access it( all but unregistered ), and noted the url per your specifications.

The problem im having is setting up access to the form. I have a link on my home page for applicants that id like to go to the form. I'm getting this:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

and the actual code for the link:

<li><a href="http://www.justice-alex.com/vForum/newthread.php?do=wow_form">Applicants</a></li>

Are there template changes that i need to make? Or is there somewhere i can go to get more indepth instructions for accessing the form.

thks,
Turinn

In the Admin CP if you go to vBulletin Options > Elricstorm's WOW Form configuration settings

the first question is "What is the URL ending for your form?" and the answer to that is what you have at the end in the "do=" area, so if the answer is "wow-form" then it should be working with that url and since it isn't i can't help further but i would check that first

Check your vboptions and make sure the form name is wow_form first of all. Secondly, make sure your permissions are setup for who can view the form. Lastly, verify in your templates that wow_form exists.

[turinn]

Edit the answer template and customize how it appears for your board. The answer template provides all of the variables for answers but you can adjust how it looks and appears on your own board simply by customizing it.

Alright, i checked the forum name, left it as the default, wow_forum. Checked the permissions i have it set to all usergroups but banned. Did a search in the templates to verify if wow_form was there, it is.

I then created a link on the front page of my site, using this in the href of the anchor -
http://justice-alex.com/vForum/newth...hp?do=wow_form

The forum i want it sent to is set to 3. Which is our recruiting forum.

I'm still getting this error - Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

Without actually looking at your admincp and seeing how things are configured, I'm not sure what the issue is. If you want me to assist further, you would more than likely have to setup a temporary test admin account for me and supply the credentials in a PM to me. If you have a test forum board setup with the same problem, this is actually a better method for me to use to test with.

I've helped others out with their calendar and form issues in the past and usually it's something minor that was the cause in practically every situation.

Thanks,

[elricstorm]

Turinn, it's fixed now.

The issue was that in your Elricstorm's WoW Configuration Settings in vboptions, you had the full URL address instead of the ending url address. In otherwords:

It should be:

wow_form

not.. urladdress/wow_form

It's not difficult to misread the options example but it basically states something along the lines of:

Example: wow_form

Note: This is the name of the form you will use to call your hyperlink
to.(ex. if wow_form it would be:
http://yourdomain.com/yourforums/new...hp?do=wow_form)

.. meaning that if your template is set to wow_form in the box, you could then call the URL with that following example. I may rewrite the box so that it's more clear. My apologies.

You can go to http://www.justice-alex.com/vForum/n...hp?do=wow_form and see that it's fixed.

Thank You so much Elric. It's always somethin simple isn't it.

thks again,

Turinn
