Article - New topic form (pre-formated topic)

[Thurnok]

You will find that breaking up the closing TEXTAREA tag such as:

Code Select Expand


'... 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%:

Code Select Expand


$ta_tag = 'textarea';
// open textarea, put in stuff, close textarea
echo '<'.$ta_tag.'> ... stuff here... blah blah... </'.$ta_tag.'> ... more stuff';


[Noam]

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:

Code Select Expand

echo '<h'.'r>'
So where did you see what you describe?

[Thurnok]

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.

[Arkanthos]

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...

Code Select Expand

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.

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.

[Arkanthos]

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.

[Noam]

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:

Code Select Expand

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?

[Arkanthos]

... 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.

[pinegr05]

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:

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.

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.
