I need someone to write a script that would replace the editor with a form to be filled out then the results would post in its place.
I need about 15 fields, then a comment area - just a plain text box. Then for it to be posted to the board it was posted in. I do not know how to do this but I think it would replace the editor since its similar to that function already.
This would be a paying gig for anyone who thinks they can help. Let me know if you can do it or would be willing to do it.
I am going to post it on the SMF site also but I personally like this forum better.
search for pre-formatted topic.
Think thats probably what your wanting.
I used it to make this for my brothers site.
it hasn't been used yet, but it is really cool. It ads a picture of their race, gender, and class. We just spent a lot of time making images.

WOW, that would could work I think. But can you add a way to select which board it would be posted to ?
I am trying to create a way to sell real estate notes, and they are usually seperated by the amount they are worth. Hence the different boards.
If I could do that then I could put this on the front page, then have it propogate to the board. NO?

yea, I have mind seding info to the recruiting board.

it uses their gaming alias - the date they register - and the team they want as the title
of course you could use whatever you wanted.
I have thought about doing the same thing for a real-estate site. If you had a good theme made for you it would be a nice way to show listings on a site. Maybe something simple like wiki style by Bloc.
londonhogfan......this would make a sweet classified section for a site i think. do i search for this at smf or here? if i ran into a snag figuring it out would you be able to help?
OK, I have searched for the pre-formatted topic, found the original code you were using but if I am reading this right what was the final final you have on the second site. I believe that one is yours.?
I am a complete newbie when it comes to things like this but I can try to make it out.
Can you share the link? :D
here is the post that tells you how to do it. It isn't my code. I just modified his to work for my sites.

Cool. Now I wish I could do something like this working with the blogs....hmmm...I think I got an idea...
OK, I have been playing with this for a bit now. It just isnt working out. Firstly the first part of the code stays code. Then rest does turn into a form. ??
Also can I have this propagate to a specific forum board from the information they provide.
Thanks,
GB
in the <form post part of the code (Near bottom) is where you change what board you want the post to go to.
I use it in a regular php page then include it into a php page.
forms dont like the tinyportal pages word editor.
Think this post (or the code for the pre-formatted input form) will make it into the snippets forum?
I am still playing with it but I have no real experience with php but im trying. still....
thanks for your input. I am closer

I have moved the topic with the code and discussions around the code to Block codes and Snippets board.
Quoteforms dont like the tinyportal pages word editor.
It's just the textareas that cause problems, at least for me. I've been able to even create them if I use a php article and use a variable for the ending textarea tag. Anything so that the actual
</textarea> tag isn't in the editor window will work. I usually set a variable:
$textareaend = "</". "textarea" . ">";
and then when I need to use it, I use
echo '<textarea>some text', $textareaend .'and so on';
All other types of fields have worked just fine.
