Oh, well, I always make a lot of mistakes. It just comes with the territory.

If you have any problems with the other code, post in that topic. Things get really confused enough as it is.

I decided to use the code you posted on page 34 of this topic.  Then made the modification to the subject line so it posts the character name not the log in name.  So far it is working, I am just adding things to it and changing it to Alliance

Okay. Obviously, I'm the one who is most confused!!

if ($user_info['id'] == 0)
{
    echo 'You must be logged in before you can apply.';
}
else {

Using that code right after the global, and putting the } at the end of the total code gives this error...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/darkaft1/public_html/forums/Sources/Load.php(1735) : eval()'d code(1080) : eval()'d code on line 336

I can only debug the whole code, I'm afraid. You'll need to post it so I can see what the problem is.

Here is the 'working' code.

I wanted to do two things and this will be done. 

1.  How do I add the code

Code Select Expand

if ($user_info['id'] == 0)
{
    echo 'You must be logged in before you can apply.';
}
else {

2.  Is there a way for me to make the 'textarea' fields post under the question and not to the side of it?  Or any input field for that matter.

I should also note how I am making this work, just incase it throws off anything.

I have this installed into an article in Tinyportal 1 with all the panels turned off.
I have a portal (eqdkp+) installed with a link to the Tinyportal article. 
It opens the application up inside of Tinyportal/SMF for them to fill out and submit.
Then it posts it and they get a Thank You page. 

So far it is working great other then the things I would like to add.

Oh I should note....I am trying to have some kind of formatting involved with the textarea.  For those people who type a long answer it will format it in a neat way instead of running the width of my browser and then wrapping.  I can move my browser and see the text shrink and make another line.

Not a huge deal overall, but if I can get that working it would be awesome.

Is there a way for me to make the 'textarea' fields post under the question and not to the side of it?  Or any input field for that matter.

You'll need to change the form area of the code. The form starts printing just after the comment line

Code Select Expand


// Looks like you want the form,


There are a series of "if ... elseif" statements, each one dealing with a different type of field. They are designed to print out with the label in one table column and the field in another. If you want to change the way they print out, you'll need to change them here.

For example, to change the way the textarea displays, you might want to change

Code Select Expand


    elseif ($field['type'] == 'textarea') {
      echo '<TR class ="' . $bg . '">
            <TD width = "200px" align="right">';
            if ($field['required'] == 1) { echo '* '; }
            echo $field['caption'] . ':</TD>
            <TD align="left"><TEXTAREA id="' . $field['name'] . '" name="' . $field['name'] . '" rows="4" cols="40">';
            echo $fieldvalue[$field['name']];
            echo '</' . 'TEXTAREA></TD>
  </TR>';
    }


to

    elseif ($field['type'] == 'textarea') {
      echo '<TR class ="' . $bg . '">
            <TD colspan="2">';
            if ($field['required'] == 1) { echo '* '; }
            echo $field['caption'] . '<br />
            <TEXTAREA id="' . $field['name'] . '" name="' . $field['name'] . '" rows="4" cols="40">';
            echo $fieldvalue[$field['name']];
            echo '</' . 'TEXTAREA></TD>
  </TR>';
    }


Look closely at the changes that I made -- I changed the

<TD width = "200px" align="right">';


line to

<TD colspan="2">';


Then I changed

':</TD>
            <TD align="left">


to

'<br />


You have to be very careful when you're doing this or you will mess up the single quotes that make everything work.

If you have trouble with it, let me know if you want them all to be this way or just the textarea and I'll do it for you.

I haven't a clue about eqdkp+. I had never heard of it until you mentioned it.

Oh I should note....I am trying to have some kind of formatting involved with the textarea.  For those people who type a long answer it will format it in a neat way instead of running the width of my browser and then wrapping.

I'm not sure where you are talking about. Is this in the post that the form creates? You can do some playing around with putting in line breaks in the nearest space before a certain number of characters, I guess.

I managed to get the 'field' box done properly, but the 'radio', 'checkbox' and all the others are giving me syntax errors for some reason.  Is there more/less I should be adding to these ones that are different?

edit:  the 'textarea' is also done properly.

[JPDeni]

I don't think there's anything different (I haven't looked closely yet), but it can get pretty hinky with the quotation marks. You have the text box and textarea, yes? I'll go through the rest.

That should do it. I realize now that I should have set it up differently so you'd only have to change one thing. It's all an evolution.

[Azphat12]

Well that did work, but not the expected result.  I totally did not notice this was changing the application itself.  I was looking to change the output (post) of the application.

What I was looking for was all the 'text' or anything that had the smaller input boxes to post with the answer to the right of the question.

Any boxes with alot of text....I think the 'textarea' ones would have the question and the information the people enter would be below the question and not to the right of it. 

Not sure that makes sense, but I am trying to tidy up the actual posted application so it is uniform and looks good.  As it stands now if someone types a really long sentence it doesnt auto wrap to the next line.  It will keep going as wide as your browser will go. 

Also looking at the new changes in the app....it doesnt look as good as before.  Is there a way to make it appear similiar to above, but keep all the questions lined up properly?  Not sure if there is or not.   But the main concern is the output of the answers. 

[JPDeni]

Oh. You were talking about changing what goes into the post after the form is submitted. I thought you wanted to change the way the form looks. I was going to try to tell you how to do things, but I don't know what it is that you want.

As it stands now if someone types a really long sentence it doesnt auto wrap to the next line.

Yes. They are just like every other post that is in your forum. What do you want?

Also looking at the new changes in the app....it doesnt look as good as before.  Is there a way to make it appear similiar to above, but keep all the questions lined up properly?

Probably, but I don't know what you mean by "properly." What's "proper" to you may be completely unproper to me.

You will likely have to give me an example in order to be able to tell you how to do what it is that you want to do.
