Ok, I've been trying to nut this out based on what others have posted in the thread.

Basically, I want a drop down box which defines what forum the news will be posted too.

I have the following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Further down:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Template:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

EDIT - THIS IS FIXED - SEE POST BELOW: When I submit the form using this, I get: Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /includes/functions_newpost.php on line 356

Could someone offer some advice. I'm assuming the problem lies in the above somewhere; maybe!!

THanks!

[rayw]

HEY!!!! I figured it out. I just noticed that <select name="dropdownforum1"> should be <select name="dropdownanswer1">.

I will post the finished product once I have fine tuned it.

EDIT: I've updated the code above so it should work fine now.

Yes please post your outcome when finished.

If statements seem easy until you place them. But eventually hard work and patience will prevail.

Hey guys, maybe I missed it, I also ran a search. Is there way to set this up so you can select a post icon, and not have it be blank when it posts the topic? I was trying to figure out a way to do it, but I kept breaking the code. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

I'm looking for some guidance in formatting the answer template so that I can control the way the finished post looks. Is there any way to use conditionals in the answer template?

For example I have

$question1
$checkboxAnswer1_1
$checkboxAnswer1_2
$checkboxAnswer1_3

If only the first checkbox is selected on the form then the $checkboxAnswer1_2 and $checkboxAnswer1_3 put spaces in the final post. I'd like to do something like

if ($checkboxAnswer1_2==""){
echo "";
}
That way I can eliminate the spaces?

Any ideas?

As with any area that allows for user input, does this hack validate input in any way?
I just want to make sure it is secure enough so that the average user cannot exploit it.
If not, is there a way to integrate validation to make it more secure?
Thanks

You can use some JavaScript and expressions to limit input in any of the boxes. I've done this so that a certain box can only have numbers input into it. You could essentially use this as a NoSpam! type mod. Then you can modify your form plugin so that ALL the fields must be answered.

Or you can wait until I finalize my Image Verification add-on... which is looking pretty dismal right now. I just don't have time to test every little thing, and I certainly won't support it when/if I do release it.

I may see if Abe1 would like to take what I've done and test it and incorporate it right into the actual form hack. Not sure if he's interested though.

UpNorth this can be done, but you will have to alter the plugin file to match and execute.

I still learning this stuff, Im sure ABE1 can do this with his eyes closed, but hes a busy man.
I will take a look and see if I can help...

Check with RayW, he has made some progress in this area...

Hello All,

In fact I wish to know if it is possible to let people post the form in any of the existing forums. To do so, they should be able to select the forum in a dropdown list looking like the "Forum Jump" list.

Would this be possible?

And first off all, would it also possible to let users choose the name of the filled form when posted?
For example the form type would be displayed like a prefix and the user would complete this prefix by a name written in a mandatory field...

Thanks for your help

[Mookie]

I am having a problem with the form hack. I am receiving a error

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Does anyone know how to fix this error. I have tried almost everything... I guess there is something that I have not tried yet.

The answer to this is above. (well, it is back on the last page now about half way down).

It is exactly what I've got running on my forums at the moment, only with a few extra forums added.

upnorth, I'm no experienced programmer (I'm still learning too) but it looks like you have the right idea.

You may be able to work it out using what I have posted here (it is back on the previous page about half way down as well). If you give your checkboxes values ($checkbox1a, $checkbox1b, $checkbox1c, for example) and apply those values to what I have written, you would be pretty close to fixing your problem I reckon. You may need to make 1 or two other tiny changes to make it function correctly.

I wish I could help more!

Hello rayw,

Thanks for your answer, but when you say

I will post the finished product once I have fine tuned it.

, I thought it was not finished. Especially when you say

When I submit the form using this, I get: Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /includes/functions_newpost.php on line 356

Could someone offer some advice. I'm assuming the problem lies in the above somewhere; maybe!!

.

But your answer here should mean "all is ok now", I guess
