Article - New topic form (pre-formated topic)

[londonhogfan]

anyone know how to do this?

wanting to make a form in a article that forum members can fill out to join my cs clan.

The form would post a new (pre-formated) topic in our recruiting board with all the information.  Below is a list of the things I am wanting.  It would just have a textbox next to each thing so the member could input the information.

Name of topic would be: {In Game Alias} {Todays Date}

Todays Date: (dd/mm/yy)

In Game Alias:

First Name:

Email Address:

XFire Name:

Location(State or Country):

Age:

Invited By: (If any)

Leagues Played In: (If any)

Have you ever been an admin in another clan?:

Why do you want to join ~RoTa~?:

Have you read and understand the Code of Conduct?:

Do you understand our member/recruit process and requirements?:

Are you willing to uphold these at ALL times?:

Any other comments or suggestions?:

Could someone help me do this?  I think many people would want to be able to do something like this also.

Thanks, Jacob

Me too, I want tweak a forum post with

{topic name}| {comment numbers}Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  {Hours/Dates}| {poster}

to views at the frontpage of portalÃ,

the form itself wouldnt be hard to do but the problem comes when storing the info in the database I'd have to think on this one.

it would require a special reply index form to do it with its destinitation already defined... not an easy project

why not do this

create the index of clan topics for each clan recruitment than click reply on each one of those forums snag the url at that stage than in your article post up that link with each clan description and whats to be stated.

Just a thought

Im not sure what you mean on that last post

but im just wanting it as simple as can be.

Even if it would open up everything just like a regular "new post" window but have those items already in the main textbox so they just had to put everything in next to it without copying it.  It would look nicer to have a small textbox for everything, but anything would be better than default.

I realize all it does is keep someone from having to copy/paste the requrired info into a new topic form, but I would still like it if possible.

I tried just doing this...

Code Select Expand

<div align="center">
<form action="http://www.the-rota.com/index.php?action=post2;board=5" method="post" name="postmodify" id="postmodify" style="margin: 0;">
Your Gaming Alias - dd/mm/yyyy<br>
<input type="text" name="subject" tabindex="1" size="80" maxlength="80" />
<br><br>
<input name="icon" id="icon" value="xx" type="hidden">
<textarea class="editor" name="message" rows="25" cols="60" tabindex="2">

In Game Alias:

First Name:

Email Address:

XFire Name:

Location(State or Country):

</textarea><br>

<input type="submit" name="post" value="Submit" tabindex="3">

</form>
</div>

that gives me this...

http://www.the-rota.com/index.php?page=21

but when I submit it says "Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message. "

hmmm not sure

Interesting...

This could be a useful little tool for the thousands of clan/guilds out there.

Hopefully someone can figure it out
