Okay. I think I've got it.

At the beginning of the code, just after

Code Select Expand


global $sourcedir, $ID_MEMBER, $context, $scripturl, $user_info;


add

Code Select Expand


if (isset($_GET['topic'])) {


and at the very end of the code, add

Code Select Expand


}


(This will prevent the form from showing unless the person is viewing a topic.)

Find

Code Select Expand


echo '
<form action="' . $scripturl . '?page='  . $_GET['page'] . '" method="post">


Replace it with

Code Select Expand


$place = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo '
<form action="' . $place . '" method="post">


I've just tested it out and it works fine. However (there's always a "however", isn't there?), the user will have to go back to the index and then back to the topic in order to see their post.

I've set up an account for you on my test site so you can see how it works. I'll send you login details by PM so you can test it out.

JP, could you PM those login details as well.  I'd like to see what you guys are doing.

There's just one board. You can access the form from any topic in the board. You have to go back to the index and then back to the topic in order to see your new post.

EasyRider, I saw your post. You select which topic from the board index. If you only had 30 -- or even 50 -- different topics, I would be able to use a select field with the topics. But with 700 possible topics, that's too many to put into a select list. This is the best way to do it.

[EasyRider]

Ok..!    i thing this is the best way to work in all topics..

I go to check it out now and i tell you what happen ..  :up:

OK, I see what you are doing.  I tried hitting refresh instead of going back to the board index and it just posted the same form again.  OK, I can see what you did with this now.

Thanks,

I tried hitting refresh instead of going back to the board index and it just posted the same form again.

That's a potential problem and I'm not sure how to get around it. Probably the only thing you can do is to put something in the "thank you" part that displays after the form is submitted. And if there are duplicates, the admin will just have to delete them.
