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}
Quote
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
any ideas? :'(
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

I see, but still a bit hope ::)
Thanks bro
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 :o
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...
<div align="center">

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 :knuppel2:
Write this in a PHP article:

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

</div>';
notice the added line:
<input type="hidden" name="sc" value="', $context['session_id'], '" />
this will include your session id so it won't give you that error again.
Get this error when I try that code
QuoteParse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/capital/public_html/test/Sources/Load.php(1607) : eval()'d code(45) : eval()'d code on line 45
It worked for my site. I appreciate you MyFSI.
ok got the form to show up but when I hit submit it logs me out?
I may be way off here, but I think it could be a SMF issue, however they tell me it's a server issue involving extra secruity.
Let me look into this...it may actually be something i can accomplish
EDIT: Ok, I think i am on to something...however i am stalling a the call to create a new topic...
See my idea is to create a unique Post.php and Post.template.php for the sole purpose of the form you are requesting...however...the easiest way is to pre-poulate the needed info in the textarea...that way when a guest or member wants to apply they click a buttoin that is the direct link to create a new topic in a specified board. When the post form comes up it will have all of the values that are needed for the application. Obviously that info can be adjusted for whatever use is needed as well as the specific board that it posts to...I just don't understand quite well enough how the post and post template interact with each other.
The code for the text area in the post box is this:
echo '
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right"></td>
<td>
<textarea class="editor" name="', $context['post_box_name'], '" rows="', $context['post_box_rows'], '" cols="', $context['post_box_columns'], '" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onchange="storeCaret(this);" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '"', isset($context['post_error']['no_message']) || isset($context['post_error']['long_message']) ? ' style="border: 1px solid red;"' : '', '>', $message, '</textarea>
</td>
</tr>';
You would change it to this (at least for this purpose anyway):
echo '
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right"></td>
<td>
<textarea class="editor" name="', $context['post_box_name'], '" rows="', $context['post_box_rows'], '" cols="', $context['post_box_columns'], '" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onchange="storeCaret(this);" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '"', isset($context['post_error']['no_message']) || isset($context['post_error']['long_message']) ? ' style="border: 1px solid red;"' : '', '>

This would mean that when the special link is clicked the text area is already filled with the questions that are needed so when it is posted it would appear as needed.
the one I posted a few back works perfectly
try it out if you like.
http://www.the-rota.com/index.php?page=11
Im just using the code MyFSI gave me earlier.
well it was working. Not anymore.
I was playing with this at my guild site, and one of the officers saw it and thought they could tweak it.
He did, and this is the end result:
http://www.gaminghole.org/ks/index.php?page=24
I set up a little page before that with some recruiting info, then a link to that.
Thought i would let you guys see it, and get your thoughts :2funny:
I'll try and get the code up for it later. Wanted to ask his permission before i did. :)
is it supposed to make you register? I thought you were looking for a way for guests to post the app.
Otherwise it looks very cool and hope to see the code for it soon 8)
I really like that.
please let us know if it works.
do you have a test account setup?
No, it doesnt register for you, just creates a standardized form for taking an app on a board. Keeps em all the same, and purdy :P

Thats the code I used. If you wish to try it, my test site:
http://www.test.gaminghole.org/index.php
test account: testhole/hole
As with most things like this, I put that code into an htm/php file (whatever you prefer), then call it to an iframe in an article.
You, of course, will also have to put in some work to modify it to your own application wants. :)
Works very nicely...anyway to have it autofill the subject?
It does, where you see the entry: Main Character Name
That gets placed into the subject. So the name of the character they applying with is the topic. :)
heh....i tried it at my site and the subject wouldn't fill in...hmmmm....i'll look at it some more.
Just an FYI, I'm the Officer he spoke of that tweaked it, though I more then just tweaked it, I completely re-wrote it. The basic concept is it's 2 different forms, the first form contains all the nice pretty fields, the second form is completely hidden. When you click the button (It is not even of the submit type) it calls a Javascript function to compile the information, stuffs it into the hidden fields in the second form and submits that from giving a nice pre-formatted post. Considering all the intrested I'll have to get to work on making it a bit more edit friendly and add in some Validation. (Something I was meaning to do anyway.)
works great, is there a way for it to post without registering? like for guests...?
No too bad, not too bad.. still needs work tho. It should work for guests. No registration neccessary.
It would probably work for guests if you set it up to post on a board that allows guests to post.
Actually you're right...if you set the board that the form posts is to allow guests then they won't have to register.
Here is what I have so far, includes required field validation

this is great!
I started this topic about 3 weeks ago and the TP community did an awesome job working it out.
Thanks everyone.
now if someone could make a roster page :D (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=3931.msg38299#msg38299)

Is there anyway to use this script or a modified version of it in order to get users inpun in my EMAIL? Also I want to display as an article perhaps, a thank you page... Is this possible...somehow?
for email you would just use a normal form. the purpose of this was to make it so you did not have to use the traditional email method.
Can you please tell me how? Noob Here! :uglystupid2:
just do a search on the internet for creating html forms...there are loads of tutotrials as well as automated form generators available. Even most html programs will guide you through creating a form...
could someone please take a quick look and let me know what I am doing wrong. I am trying to use the last post from DrakeBrimstone

It gives me an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/(name edited out)/public_html/Forum/Sources/Load.php(1768) : eval()'d code(231) : eval()'d code on line 1
Every other version of the code posted gives an error as well. I tried taking out the things with an astrisk, too. Any ideas?
Late to the party, I know, but in case people were looking for some other examples, here's one for our WoW guild. We needed some longer text entry areas, and believe me, getting textareas on the form was a pain:
Made a php article titled "Apply to FOO" and linked it off the front page, contents follows:
/*
Noam's Notes:
0. Backslash every apostrophe in the big echo statement below.
1. Never, ever put in a closing textarea tag literally. It will screw up the article editor somethin' fierce. Use '</text'.'area>' instead.

You will find that breaking up the closing TEXTAREA tag such as:
'... other stuff in echo statement... </text'.'area> ... more stuff';
will not be quite sufficient. Go into your article again, and find your closing TEXTAREA tag. It will probably look like: </text> the way you currently implimented it. It's a peculiarity.
Instead, here's a way that works 100%:
$ta_tag = 'textarea';
// open textarea, put in stuff, close textarea
echo '<'.$ta_tag.'> ... stuff here... blah blah... </'.$ta_tag.'> ... more stuff';
Looks like it worked. Can't find any instance of </text> in the page it generated. Lots of </textarea> instances, though. I'm not sure what might cause it to insert a > into the middle of something that should be equivalent to:
echo '<h'.'r>'
So where did you see what you describe?
It's simply a peculiarity that can happen under various versions of php/mysql and TP/SMF. If it works for you great, if not, I simply provided one that doesn't show the peculiarity on systems/configs that do in the other case.
I seem to be having some issues with this. The form itself displays on the page perfectly, just as I made it, unfortunately when I go to click the submit button, nothing happens. And I mean nothing... no page load, no transmit, nothing...

I've checked the things that were obvious to me, and combed through all of the code but can't seem to find my error.
Anyone have any ideas on what could be going wrong? I've tried working with the code and for some reason still can't get it to work.
Ideas:
1. If you have Firefox, learn to love the Error Console (Tools / Error Console). You may find some JavaScript errors with it. If you don't have Firefox, get it, or get something else that can debug JavaScript.
2. Simplify. My first form for our site (>99% derived from the previous code here) had just a couple of text inputs: no textareas, no radio buttons, etc. Make sure you can move just a couple of bits of data from the visible form to the hidden form to the preformatted post before jumping in with the whole thing. Once you've got a few fields, add a few more, and retest. Repeat until the whole form is working. If it works in the simpler cases, but fails as soon as you add code block X, then it'll help narrow down where the problem would be.
3. You've got some typos in your radio fields for instance keys, including an Onyxia key where an HC key should be and inconsistent spelling for the AC keys. This isn't a syntax problem, but may cause the form to misbehave or appear to change data from one form to the next. The logic on the radio buttons I worked from assumes exactly two radio buttons for a given name.
4. These types of lines probably won't iterate properly, and you may find an entry in the Error Console accordingly:
for(i=0,i<document.application.keysUBRS.length;c++)
Can't use i for the iteration variable, and then increment c. Well, you technically can, but it won't do what you'd normally want in C, and probably won't do what you want in JavaScript. These would cause infinite loops, and maybe the browser fails them after a set period of time?
... why didn't I see that when I was looking through... I think it's something about being too close to the code.
Thanks a tun man, this has been bugging me forever, and I knew that it had to be something simple like that. I've fixed the syntax things you talked about above but hadn't updated the code here to reflect it.
Need some help with some code. I have reduced the code to make a short form with 4 connected radio buttons. I have been able to make every thing work except for giveing the correct results from the radio buttons. The following is the complete code:
/*
Noam's Notes:
0. Backslash every apostrophe in the big echo statement below.
1. Never, ever put in a closing textarea tag literally. It will screw up the article editor somethin' fierce. Use '</text'.'area>' instead.

The part of the code I am having problem with is the following:
for (i=0;i<document.application.isMain.length;i++){
if (document.application.isMain[i].checked==true){theone=i; break;}
}
if (theone==0) { isMain="A";} else { isMain="B"; }
It will give me the A or B. I am missing some code and can not figure out whait is needed. I'm new to this and I am learning.
Thanks for any help.

Thats the code I used. If you wish to try it, my test site:
http://www.test.gaminghole.org/index.php
test account: testhole/hole
As with most things like this, I put that code into an htm/php file (whatever you prefer), then call it to an iframe in an article.
You, of course, will also have to put in some work to modify it to your own application wants. :)
Your form works great. I have a flash form at http://www.theblackplagueonline.com/index.php?page=8 that I would love to have post the results in a forum like yours does.
I assume the code I need to edit is in my apply.xml file.

Did you modify which board its posting to? Look at the code and you'll see it posts to a certain board. Make sure you have the same board ID number that you need to use.
Thanks IchBin board it was posting to was correct but as I looked colser I found something else that was wrong :)
Now it works Hooah!!!
I'm using the code from below and wondering if anyone can tell me how to add a drop down selection menu? For example, I want to include a list of the US states, and they can click the box to select the state they reside in. I'm new to all this, so any help is appreciated.

Late to the party, I know, but in case people were looking for some other examples, here's one for our WoW guild. We needed some longer text entry areas, and believe me, getting textareas on the form was a pain:
Made a php article titled "Apply to FOO" and linked it off the front page, contents follows:
/*
Noam's Notes:
0. Backslash every apostrophe in the big echo statement below.
1. Never, ever put in a closing textarea tag literally. It will screw up the article editor somethin' fierce. Use '</text'.'area>' instead.
*/
echo '
<form name="application">

hi everyone,
i just found this site www.emailmeform.com you can create your own forms and have the details emailed to you, I am running this on my site for competitions!! :-)
Greetings!
@Rebecca
Thanks a lot for this link. It seems to solve a lot of problems with individual preformatted topics. (At least for me, because I have no coding knowledge and always problems to keep the dependencies between the form and the compilation intact.)
Before I register at www.emailmeform.com, I would like to know how the code looks, which is generated and send and what I have to add, to make it work inside the TP.
In my case, I don’t need a contact form but an easy way (for users) to submit News and Charakter-Guides. (Examples, see below.)
Maybe you can give an example of the code they send and an example of the final implementation?
Then I have read this:
Quote
Your web hosting server does not need to be able to run scripts, our powerful server process the form submission, sends you an email with the information and then redirect the visitor to your thank you web page, without the visitor knowing he left your web site.
I think I don’t understand.
I show the input-page at MySite, a user fill out the form
-> it is send to another server (our powerful server process the form submission)
-> I receive the result vie mail (sends you an email with the information)
-> the user is redirected to a (my) page (then redirect the visitor to your thank you web page)
Sound strange.
Maybe you can describe a bit, how you use this service an the code?
(Exmples only to make clear what I want to include. Not an request or something)
Example: News
[Topic Title]:
[Headline]:
[Some Text]:
[Maybe a quote]: [ quote ][ /quote ]
[Source]:
Example: CharGuide
[Topic Title]:
[Introduction]
[desired attribute a]:

Hi ianus,
Ok you dont have to worry about doing any scripts as such, its generates a code that you put in a html article, i have used it a few times on my site now and i absolutely love it... you can see a preview of one of my forms here (At the very bottom "click here to enter") http://www.bu-community.com/index.php?page=63
this is the code it generated after i entered what fields/items i wanted...
<a target="_new" href="http://www.emailmeform.com/fid.php?formid=112582">Click Here to Enter</a>
you will need to create another article so that when people submit the form they will be directed to that page, it emails you straight away with all the details. comes highly recommended, i think its awesome and even better its free and does everything the paid ones do... i had a look at quiet a few before i settled for this one and im more than happy!
hope that helps, if you need any help or have any other questions just pm me :)
Greetings!
Thanks a lot for you kind reply!
Well, I see what this side offers more clearly now and imho it is be a nice function for webmasters.
But the service don’t meet my requirements because there is no own form which I can put into an article and finally send is as an topic to the SMF.
Anyway, this leads me to an interesting idea.
Thanks again for your time.
Regards
ianus
Your welcome if you look back through this topic you will see some codes that will give you the option of creating a topic rather than emailing. Good luck :)
I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if someone could help me... I used this code (tried in html and php) and cannot get it to post when I hit submit ...

I named this file join.html and placed it in my Main site section with all my other files, and it is supposed to post in another section of my files under forums .. am I placing it wrong?? ... the app comes up and everything there is right but it just will not submit... I am using SMF forums and I am just learning by trial and error mostly html/php coding, so it just may be that I dont have it where it should be... any ideas please let me know.... thanks

Welcome to TinyPortal.
Please Read and Reply to the Posting Guidelines (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,581) and give us as much information as you can about your setup, including a link to your site.
