Hooah!  Thank you all who helped me! It's working!!!

Here how to do "Join Us" recruitment form that upon submittion sends email to the specified address and also create new topic in the specified Board

1. Create PHP article to be redirected to when the form is succesfully submited. Let's call it "Thank You" article
it can be something like this:

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 reqruitment officers by email and also new topic has been created on your behave in  Reqruitment Department's forum. <br/>
Our decision will be posted here. You also will recieve 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>";




2. Then create PHP article like this:

Code Select Expand




global $sourcedir, $user_info, $context ;

require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs.php');
require_once($sourcedir .'/Subs-Post.php');



// CONFIGURATION SECTION

//send the application by email?
$enable_email=true;

// email address of reqruitment staf member
$email_address='recruitement@your-clan.com';

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

//board id to which the application should be posted
$board_id=16;

//the id of the this article
$this_article_id = '19';

//article to be redirected when form is submitted
$thank_you_article_id = '20';


//END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION

$show_form= 'true';
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
// Handle the form

// Check required fields
$enroll_errors = array(); //Initialize error array

// Check for a name
if (empty($_POST['real_name']) ){
$enroll_errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your name.';
}
// Check for an email
if (empty($_POST['email']) ){
$enroll_errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your email address.';
}
// Check for an AA name
if (empty($_POST['aa_name']) ){
$enroll_errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your In-Game Nickname.';
}       
// Check for an age
if (empty($_POST['age']) ){
$enroll_errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your age.';
} 

if (empty($enroll_errors)) { //Everything seems to be OK
     
        $show_form='false';



// email an application

3. In configuration section of the code change the variables with actual values

4. you can modify the look and feel of the form, the post and the email text if you want

That's it ...

I am not PHP expert but if you have problems post here - and I'll try to help .

If you have some suggestions or additions - post it

what if i used a custom action

action=join

[mebymyself]

I don't know how to do it with custom actions.
I believe it will require external php file or modification of template.

All my attempts with external file failed   as you can see from this thread

[Assistance]

umm kinda, i have the custom action mod, so it would simply be copy paste, pretty much the same code.  I'm sure I could be fine with it, just prefer actions so when viewing online list i can that people are joining.

OMG!!!  Where you were before!!!
I reinvented the wheel and did it in bad manner

Ok anyway it was my first attempt to do something like this
Thank you for your input

[mebymyself]

londonhogfan,
Now i see that my code is somehow more useful because i have full control on the process
I noticed on your site it says:

Once submitted, it will take you to a pre-formatted post on the member applications board, where you will still need to hit the post button.

My code is totally automated. And also i want to expand it to
1. Do not allow clan members fill the form (obvious but you know as soon as I informed that the form is ready I recieved 3 apps from exicting members    ... testing ...)

2. Do not allow double applications. instead it should take to existing post and suggest modify it

3. Create another post in members only forum with poll. This will allow Clan members disscuss pending application and vote.
