[Done!] Join Us! form

[Inny]

Check:

Code Select Expand

$board_id=15.0;

im not a php expert but the .0 shouldn't be there.

Also try it without:

Code Select Expand

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
   echo
   '<h5>Access Denied</h5>
   We are sorry. You must be registred on the site in order to apply for Wisdom and Strength.';
} else  { // remove closing bracket

and since you have database connection issues i think the problem lies somewhere in here:

Code Select Expand

// CONFIGURATION SECTION

//send the application by email?

// email address of recruitment staff member
$email_address='xxxx';

//post the application on forum?
$enable_post=true;

//board id to which the application should be posted
$board_id=15.0;

//the id of the this article
$this_article_id = '14';

//article to be redirected when form is submitted
$thank_you_article_id = '13';

In looking over it again, I'm wondering if there might be a problem with your "thank you" page. What's on it?

[durgia]

Hi!

I looked through the thread and did not see that one option I would like had been designed by anybody yet. If I missed it, I apologize.

I am looking to add in a bit of code so that the form is not only sent to me but a copy is also sent to the person filling out the form, as confirmation that they have registered. I am using a version of the form I found in this thread to allow people to Register for an upcoming event.

I have attached a copy of the code I am using. One of the mandatory fields I have specified is an email address so I thought I could use that info added to the part that already emails me, but I have not had any luck so far.

Please Note: out of necessity I am allowing Guests to use this form and therefor cannot pull the email address out of the user info command.

As an alternative I wondered if I could make the completed form show up on the Thank you page and then they could print it as a type of receipt.

This is getting confusing. I'll start putting the person's name in that I'm responding to. I've got one person using one bit of code and having errors and another person using another bit of code who wants more features.

Looks like, to mail the same thing to the user that you mail to the admin, after

Code Select Expand


mail($email_address, $subject, $body,"From: " . $user_info['email']);

(BTW, this should be changed to

Code Select Expand


mail($email_address, $subject, $body,"From: " . $_REQUEST['email']);

because you are allowing guests.)

add

Code Select Expand


mail($_REQUEST['email'], $subject, $body,"From: " . $email_address);


To add the info to the "thank you" page, change

Code Select Expand


echo $thanks_text;


to

Code Select Expand


echo $thanks_text;
echo '<table>';
foreach ($fielddef as $field)
        echo '<tr><td>' . $field['caption'] . '</td><td>  ' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';


[durgia]

you are the best, as always!!

btw (for anybody else using this in the future) there is a small syntax error in the code provided

Code Select Expand

echo $thanks_text;
echo '<table>';
foreach ($fielddef as $field) {
        echo '<tr><td>' . $field['caption'] . '</td><td>  ' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';

is missing a bracket and should be

Code Select Expand

echo $thanks_text;
echo '<table>';
foreach ($fielddef as $field) {
        echo '<tr><td>' . $field['caption'] . '</td><td>  ' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '</td></tr>'; }
echo '</table>';

[JPDeni]

Sorry 'bout that. I actually intended for there not to be an opening bracket. I must have forgotten to delete it.

Glad you figured it out, though, and that it works for you.

[durgia]

No need to apologize for helping me, One of these days I will learn enough to do things on my own

I actually tried it without the bracket but it made a very strange output that was scattered around, so I think the bracket is needed. At least it works much better with it

Thanks again!

[darrenelkins]

In looking over it again, I'm wondering if there might be a problem with your "thank you" page. What's on it?

Here is what is on my Thank You article, I dont think I have any database issues as all else works fine. Thanks

Code Select Expand


global $user_info;
echo "
<h3>Thank you for applying, " . $user_info['name'] . "! </h3><br />
<p>Your application has been sent to our recruitment officers by email and also new topic has been created on your behave in  Recruitment Department's forum. <br/>
Our decision will be posted here. You also will receive an email when the decision will be done.<br/>
Please feel free to add any information you want to share with us.<br/>
<br /></p>";

Shaktii, I just don't know what the problem is. The code uses a function within SMF to write to the database and you say that the post is being added, so the function is being run. I've never seen any problem like that before.

ok, I will simply have to try and find the other recruitment block code that worked for me, it's just that I preferred this look to the other I had, damn, I wish I kept the code now

Thanks for your time.
