What code would I need to change if i wanted the "submit" button to change the member's "member group"?

[IchBin]

You can't just change the link. You'd have to add the code to make that change. I don't think it would be too hard, but I don't have the time to figure that out. Sorry.

Ok still really confused and lost.......I created a php article with the recruiting form and if I activate it, it works great and shows on the main page under the center block.  However as I previously discussed I dont want it on the front page.  So I tried creating a left block and link to the page but it just goes back to the main page even though the links are different.  Was I supposed to create the actualy php under article manager somewhere else??  Did I do it correctly??  I created it in article manager......

Sorry been tryin for weeks to get the correct and cant seem to get it.  I am able to do links though, so once I get it looking at the different page, I will be straight, just stuck on getting the correct link to the article and going to a new page....

Thanks for the help in advance.

You have to leave it on "activate" and turn off "featured"

Featured makes it appear on the front page

If you de-activate, it is no longer viewable at all and you will keep getting sent to the front page if you go to view it.

Cheers

Edit: this might be an easier explanation to get it to work.....back-track to when it appeared on the front page and go to the article manager section. It is probably set as "featured (turn off)".....click on "featured (turn off)" to stop it from appearing on the front page

Now you need to make the article you normally have on the front page set as "featured" to get that one back on the front page.

I know this was asked on an earlier page of the thread but I don't think anyone followed up onto it.  Basically, I'm looking to add text to the top of my application.  Please help.  I tried just pasting it in, then tried putting an echo statement beforehand, surrounded by '      ';.  Here's the text:

Remember when you echo something with single quotes if there are any additional single quotes in your text they have to be escaped. Read my little explanation here if you'd like.
http://www.ichbin.us/index.php?topic=19.0

[JOSHSKORN]

Thanks for the reply.  I got it to work but not to my liking.  Basically what I did was pasted my text in between single quotes that followed the echo statement.  I placed this right at the beginning.  This produced pure text.  I took the easy way out and got rid of single quotes within my text to make my life easier.  Example:

This version did not recognize paragraph breaks.

When I put in the actual version I wanted, it kept choking on some of the HTML code.

Sorry for not specifying that earlier.  Basically, this is the SOURCE version of the article I want to add to the start of my form.  Basically it's the same text as above, but note the links and the font size = 4.

Please show me how to intermix these correctly.  Thanks.

[Hairy]

I think if you read Ichbin's link (I have not read it myself) it explains that you need to put \ before any single quotes in the text, otherwise you have issues

so change you'd to you\'d

Have a fiddle with it after doing that.

Cheers

How can I modify this such that it will get the date of birth from the smf_members table, calculate the age, test if the applicant's age is over 18 or not and produce an error message if under 18?

[Bardofyouth]

Okay, having this problem again.  I know you showed me how to fix it some half a year ago but when i tried that i didnt get the desired effect.  Still getting a very large space after "appliaction has been made by" and the actual app.
