Generic Application Form

[Bloodlvst]

So I finally got around to actually putting this into practice!
But I'm having a problem, it still makes everything bold, but I want each response to be indented and bulleted. It posts the code itself, but doesn't cause it to appear correctly. If I click modify and preview, it's okay...it seems like something from the form to the post is going awry. Any ideas?

Just in case it helps, the line in question is:

Code Select Expand

$postbody .=  '[list][b]' . $field['caption'] . '[/b][list][li]' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '[/li][/list]<br />';

I should also note that if anyone can help me figure out how to make them numbered like how RaXavier did, that would be awesome.

Remove the extra 'list' from your code :

Change...

Code Select Expand

$postbody .=  '[list][b]' . $field['caption'] . '[/b][list][li]' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '[/li][/list]<br />';

To this :

Code Select Expand

$postbody .=  '[list][b]' . $field['caption'] . '[/b][li]' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '[/li][/list]<br />';

And see if that works.

[Bloodlvst]

Thanks Freddy, didn't notice that. Unfortunately it didn't work though



Like I said, if I hit modify, and don't change anything, it will be normal, but I'd rather it just work when someone applies.

[Freddy]

What are your SMF and TP versions Mr Bloodlvust ?

[Bloodlvst]

Freddy, I'm rocking SMF 2.0 RC4 and TP 1.0 RC1

[Freddy]

OK yeah, I am getting the same results here.  Leave it with me a while.

[Freddy]

See if this works, it seems okay here.  After taking a proper look, it was the way 'list' was getting used.  I should have suggested removing the first one, not the second doh !

Thanks for any help.

NCSurfer,

Since I see you on, let's try a couple of things.  First of all,

Code (Find) Select Expand


$board_id=4.0;

and

Code (Replace With) Select Expand


$board_id=4;


and see if that fixes the issue with the topic being posted.

Secondly, your $thanks_text probably needs to be edited so that it's all on one line though I might be able to check this and see what's going on with that.
