Add-On Releases - World of Warcraft Guild Recruitment Form

This is a quick release of my Guild Application form

This uses the Online Gaming Recruitment addition as its base ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182165 ) with a lot of modification to be warcraft specific and have part of it dynamicly created.

Also included is a small tool i wrote to automaticly approve/deny applications via thread prefixes and move threads to a "Graveyard".

From the Readme.
----------------------------------------
All of the options in the control panel may be self explainitory (see images).

Editing the Application form template:
Adding new text field questions are automatic and done in the control panel.
Adding any other field is done through the template editor

Example:
<input type="text" size="30" value="$current_server" name="app[current_server]" />

Any application question must be in the format name="app[XXXXX]" , the value attribute
is the php variable for the preview.

Example of Dropdown (checkbox or radio fields follow similar concepts):
<select name="app[character_class]">
<option value="Druid" <if condition="$character_class == 'Druid'">selected="selected"</if> >Druid</option>
</select>

Every form MUST have the following code at the begining of the form
<form name="vbform" action="newthread.php" method="post" onSubmit="return vB_Editor['$editorid'].prepare_submit(0, $vboptions[postminchars])">
<input type="hidden" value="$formname" name="do" />
<input type="hidden" value="submit" name="action" />
<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="$posthash" />
<input type="hidden" name="poststarttime" value="$poststarttime" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

and the following at the end of the form.
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button" />
<input type="submit" value="Preview" name="submit" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt" class="button" />

For the Comment Boxes, you place the variable, $comment_boxes , in the position you want them to appear in the template.

If you want unregistered users to post, you will need
<if condition="!$show['member']"> $human_verify </if>
somewhere in your application form.


Editing the Application Post Template:
Editing this is very straight forward. You put the php variable of the form field name, in the proper template location.
For example, if you have <input name="app[MyQuestion]"> , then you would put $MyQuestion in your template.

The default template requires a new BBCode entry (See images bbCode_Class.png and bbCode_Style.png)

For the Textarea Questions, you will need the following variable, $guild_app_answer_qa_message somewhere in your form.


Thread Prefixes
This makes use of Extensive Prefixes. See the PrefixExample and ThreadPrefixes images.

Application Tools:
This makes it very simple to change prefixes or move applications to other forums. Some of the important items are now a vbulletin option.

Hey Swede

First of all: awesome addon great work.

Here is my question:

The app tool is super, but I would like for it to be able to follow the "thread" around.

Explanation:

When someone applies to our guild, the application goes into a closed section of the forum (officers) then they use the app tool to either dump it in an archived closed part of the forum or post it publically for the memebers to see.

When the members have discussed the application officers needs to move it again, and here it would be nice to have the app tool there as well, is that possible in any ways.

Sorry for the rambling, hop it made a bit of sense.

You can now add the app mover tool to more than one forum. The vbulletin option accepts a comma separated list.

is there a way to have 2 different apps with this? My guild has both WoW and War members and WoW currently uses it but the War People want a separate version for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this app installed and we are now using it. I did have to dabble with it to get only the questions we wanted asked but it is working as intended.

Except the app mover is not posting in more than one thread. I have 2 forum numbers listed in the test box.. example "7,21". It will only post to the first one listed. If I flip the numbers to "21,7" it will post in "21" but not in "7".

Anyone else having this problem? Sweede.. can you review this one again or should I be looking at the code in the "app mover" section of the style?

Thanks in advance.

Request:
Could you posibly add a Dropdown options to say Accepted and Denied and after one of the options are slected it would change the Title: to say

Accepted "Class" - "Name" "Spec/Spec/Spec"

or

Denied "Class" - "Name" "Spec/Spec/Spec"

I am sure most would like this option. Great work BTW
Thanks in advanced!!

This can be done very easily using the already packaged vBulletin prefix system. Just allow your usergroup to be able to use a set of prefixes for your App forum. When the status changes, Edit the thread the App is in and change the prefix to your desired one. Easy.

I'm interested in this too. Right now I would have to change the variables for a second form but I'm not 100% sure how many and which ones I would need to change to make a "copy" of it as a seperate application form.

Swede its been a while but AWESOME addon again dude, it rocks. thanks to the way you wrote it i actually understand this code a little better and managed to add some nice little features for extra questions and such. Was just curious though would you ever consider adding a answer all question option. The reason i ask is that for some reason we seem to be under constant randoms trying to register on the forums so they can spam ads, we locked the registration but they seem to think that filling out a quick application form will get them noticed, they always get deleted before anyone can see them BUT i wanna make it as difficult for these guys as possible
