I will do my best..I am at work 

In the application I would like all the Questions to be aligned Like this

Name: answer box
Age: answer box
Email: answer box
Why did you choose this spec?:
Answer box
What can you offer Dark Aftermath?:
Answer box
Member Referral: answer box

So basically all the questions are aligned together and neat.  The 'textarea' boxes are positioned below the question where as the smaller answer boxes can be to the right of the question.

On the actual Post I would like it the same way.  But in the text boxes maybe have a certain word limit per line if possible?  So it will see they typed 800 words in 1 sentence and it will auto wrap at lets say 300 words.  So here is what that might look like...

What can you offer Dark Aftermath?:
300 words of an answer
300 words of an answer
200 words of an answer

Maybe that is left justifying everyting?  I would like the table itself to be centered, but all the questions and such to be left justified inside of the table.  Not sure that is a good example or even possible. 

btw, I really appreciate you helping me on this.  Thank you so much!

The 'textarea' boxes are positioned below the question where as the smaller answer boxes can be to the right of the question.

That goes back to what I gave you earlier, then.

I'll repost it here.

So it will see they typed 800 words in 1 sentence and it will auto wrap at lets say 300 words.

I don't think you mean that. There is no way that 300 words would fit onto one line. I don't think that even 300 characters will fit on one line in most browsers. Possibly 30 characters is what you meant.

Also there is not nearly the flexibility with BBC code that there is with html. I can set it up to put things in a table. No problem at all. But things like headings that normally would span two columns just won't work.

If you can set it up in a forum post here, using BBC code the way you want it, I can (probably) figure out how to make the script do it.

[Azphat12]

The word wrap feature I can look at.  300 was just an example to try and show once it reached a certain amount it would go to the next line.  I am not overy code literate, except being able to do edits and things, lol.

I will look at the code you posted, but if it is the same as the other, there was a small issue with it not formatting properly.

I will look when I get home shortly, and if it isnt right I will try to atleast make it look the way I want and post a screenshot so you can see how I am trying to make it look, and see if it is possible to make the code do that.

there was a small issue with it not formatting properly.

What was the issue?

[Azphat12]

Ok had some time to play around with things.....the application itself will be fine with the login info added.  All I would like is to see if the output can be worked on.  Here is the current code since I changed a few colors around and moved some boxes to make it look better..

And here is the screen shot of what I was looking for

[JPDeni]

Okay. This will put the textarea stuff below the label, rather than next to it.

Code Select Expand


  foreach ($fielddef as $field) {
        if ($field['type'] == 'heading')
          $postbody .= '[color=white][u][b]' . $field['caption'] . '[/b][/u][/color]<br />';
        elseif ($field['type'] == 'textarea') {
          $postbody .= '[color=#5BAFDF]' . $field['caption'] . '[/color]<br />' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '<br />';        }
        else
          $postbody .= '[color=#5BAFDF]' . $field['caption'] . '[/color]  ' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '<br />';
      }


The thing I haven't a clue about is "to only go out as far as the armory link." What is the "armory link" and how can I know how long it is?

[Azphat12]

Well, with the answers posting under the questions I think this might be good enough.  The idea of the "armory link" was to give an example in the screenshot of how far out I wanted the text to go. 

After looking at it here, I think it might be ok.  Need to get some applications in to see, aswell as a few of the other recruiters.

[JPDeni]

I can't see anything that says "armory link", possibly because I can't read the green text against the dark blue background.

I did create a word wrap function which you can use, though. You can set your own character length.

foreach ($fielddef as $field) {
        if ($field['type'] == 'heading')
           $postbody .= '[color=white][u][b]' . $field['caption'] . '[/b][/u][/color]<br />';
        elseif ($field['type'] == 'textarea') {
$text = $_REQUEST[$field['name']];
$length = 30; // maximum length of a line
$output = '';
while (strlen($text) > $length) {
$textlen = strlen($text);
$part = substr($text,0,$length);
$partlen = $length;
while (substr($part,-1) <> ' ') {
$part = substr($part,0,-1);
--$partlen;
}
$output .= $part . '<br />';
$text = substr($text,$partlen,($textlen-$partlen));
}
$output .= $text;
          $postbody .= '[color=#5BAFDF]' . $field['caption'] . '[/color]<br />' . $output . '<br />';        }
        else
          $postbody .= '[color=#5BAFDF]' . $field['caption'] . '[/color]  ' . $_REQUEST[$field['name']] . '<br />';
}


[Azphat12]

I added that code, and I get no errors.  However I do not see anything posting on my board at all.  Not even an attempt to post it.

I am getting the thank you for posting though, after I hit submit.

[JPDeni]

It shouldn't have had that effect. I can't guarantee that you put it in the right place.

Please post the code that you have -- the one that doesn't work -- so I can figure out what's wrong.
