Posting From A Form Into The Forum?

[Craigr]

Hi,

I'm wanting to know if the following two things are possible:

1) I want to create a form on my site so that users can input a movie review. Then when they click 'submit' it posts the review into a topic already created in the forums.

I hope to create the movie review page so it looks like a normal HTML webpage with a form at the bottom much like the quick reply hack.

2) The last 5 reviews input are then shown on the review page. I though of pluhnews but it takes topics, i want to take the last 5 posts inside a topic and show them on my review page.

Hope this makes sense

Craig, you can easily modify PluhNews to do what you want for Number 2. Just tweak the queries a bit.

Regarding #1, if you create the form I will happily modify a script I have that posts into the forums to handle it for you.

I'm quite dumb regarding php and queries.

I can make a form though, so if you could modify it that would be great.

Thanks

OK. just put the code for the form in a text file and attach it here. I can guarantee that I can do the posting to the forum for you. If I have time, I might be able to tinker with Pluh for you as well. Just don't want to promise that cause I have a busy work week coming up.

Thanks for the offer Amy. I was tinkering around with the quick reply hack and also Pluh News. I managed to get it working quite good after a while.

Now i've got to intergate it with Logician's templates hack. :nervous:

Thanks again

I'm sorry. I was under the mistaken assumption that you wanted to create a custom form that was review specific and have it post into the forum. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Glad you got it all working well.

This is what i ended up with:

When someone writes a review in this box concerning this movie it posts it to this thread:

http://www.steven-seagal.net/forum/s...php?threadid=2

It works quite well, and is exactly the same as what Logician stated in the thread where he also altered the quick reply hack.
