[Done!] Join Us! form

[Kronos]

Thanks if you're willing to give it a go, it's quite some changes though.

Further Comments: TEXTFIELD

As I've mentioned, its quite allot that needs to be added/changed so if you really cba I'll have to look somewhere else.

Oh and currently, I've set the guest permissions so that they cannot post. Though if you use this form whilst not logged in it does post as a guest, is there any way this can be fixed by for example showing "Please register" instead of the submit and reset buttons when you're not logged in or redirect?

I didn't realize you wanted their whole life story.

I'll see if I can get to it Monday. If someone else wants to tackle it before then, that's fine.

[Kronos]

Nah we just think many textfields are a good way to scare the noobs off :p

Really appreciate it, thanks in advance.

[JPDeni]

Sorry it took so long. I forgot about it. (Getting old is no fun.  )

I altered the code so that it's easier to edit. I combined it with another thing I wrote a while back so you can define your fields at the beginning and the code takes care of the rest.

I've tested this out and it works, both with posting to the forum and sending email:

I did some guessing on which fields you would like to have required. You can easily change them.

I also eliminated the need for a separate "Thank you" page. You can put whatever you want to display on the page after the form is submitted in the $thanks_text variable, which is defined right near the top.

I also added a "field type" called header, which just sets off different sections. You can put any html in there that you want, to make the text centered or bigger or bolder or whatever. Just be sure you don't set the header to being required.

Thank you so much, really nice.

[JPDeni]

It looks like you changed the code. The original line is

Code Select Expand


header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .'/index.php?page=' . $thank_you_article_id);


You have

Code Select Expand


header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .'smf/index.php?page=71' . $thank_you_article_id);


IOW, it's looking for page=7171.

Change it back to the original and you should be fine.

[CliMa]

Thanks for your quick reply.

I changed that but still getting "HTTP 404 Not Found" when i hit submit.

[JPDeni]

Are you sure there is a page 71?

If so, try something else...

In the first line of the code, add $scripturl to the list of variables. It should look like

Code Select Expand


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


Then change

Code Select Expand


header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .'/index.php?page=' . $thank_you_article_id);


to

Code Select Expand


header('Location: ' . $scripturl . '?page=' . $thank_you_article_id);


[CliMa]

Thanks mate worked a treat, also is there a way i can move the form so its in the center,

any ideas ?
