My hack for my forum.

[gengar003]

Just sayin' I've made my first non-preconstructed hack for my forum, altho it used a hack here @ vb.org, and (lots of) help from filburt and Gary W.

If you're interested in what I did, it's this:

I run an Animé Forum and Website, and, if you've ever played a Pokémon game, Pokémon appear at random as you walk around, and I took the concept a bit further: Why not have a chance, on each page, for a member to "Catch" a character from one of the Animés, and add it to their collection, which would be showcased in their posts and profile?

It took two days, which is a lot for me, but it works! As members are browsing the site, sometimes a linke will appear, and they can click it. they then have a 50/50 chance of catching the TACémon, as I call them.

So, now a full feature list:[list=1][*]Set the chance to catch "TACémon" as i call them.[*]TACémon are stored in the database[*]They're showcased in the Member Profile, and in the postbit[*]If a user has over 9, they are put in a marquee, and scroll. It stops when a viewer rolls over.[*]Click on a TACémon's picture, and it's data is displayed in a vbhome(lite)page[*]Near-perfect Anti-Cheating system[*]Admin CP to Add/Remove from database,[*]Give/Take from users[*]Update all the TACémon counts[*]Edit TACémon[*]and Ban/Un-ban users (Happens if they try to cheat)[/list=1]

well, not that i can use it, but a funny idea

you cannot use POST method within a href tag, it will always be get AFAIK

wow, it's been such a long time since i closed my pokemon site. Over a year, i think. Ahh... the golden ages of pokemon. Soo long ago. The only site i recognize is dalegend.com, and they still suck. Their layout is a blatant rip of an ancient zapchu.com layout. I don't think they thought anyone would remember.
Well, it's good to see the pokemon community is still up. Good luck.


Oh, and to answer your question, try this:

<form method="post" name="anyform">
<input type="hidden" name="varname" value="varvalue">
<span onlick="anyform.submit()">Text here</span>
</form>

I think that will work. You can put the onclick in any tag. Even in a hyperlink if you wish. If anyone has a better idea....

My friend is doing something similiar on his flash business layout (but obviously not with pok?mon hehe). He has occasional little dots appear on the pages and if you spot them it adds them to a showcase at the bottom of the screen. And if you get them all which takes about 5-10mins to find 'em you get to play some cool flash games he's developed and have access to some free stuff
