[Done!] Join Us! form

[JPDeni]

Try using

Code Select Expand


$board_id=10;


If that doesn't work, then you'll need to give us the URL that shows up in your browser when you get the error. It's hard to know why something doesn't work unless I can see it.

I deleted that line and it works now, dunno why but it does 

New question, I tried various methods but how do I make this line:

Code Select Expand


   $msgOptions = array(
        'id' =>  0 ,
        'subject' => '[Pending] Application of ' . $context['user']['name'],
        'body' => $postbody ,
        'icon' => 'xx',
        'smileys_enabled' => true,
        'attachments' =>  array(),


Instead of doing what it does now "[Pending] Application of FORUM ACCOUNT NAME" as teh subject of the post to:

[Pending] Application from array[charname] array[charclass]

as the subject?

Thanks!

[JPDeni]

Try

Code Select Expand


'subject' => '[Pending] Application of ' . $_REQUEST['charname' . ' ' . $_REQUEST['charclass'],


[GreenX]

That worked, your the greatest. One last thing

I stuck this at the very top before globals and it doesn't seem to show the message to guests. What am I missing?

Code Select Expand


if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
   echo
   '<h5>Access Denied</h5>
   We are sorry. You must be registered on the site in order to apply.';
} else  {


I just want when the article is viewed to check it they are a guest , if so show them that message.

Thanks!

[JPDeni]

Your $context array is only available to use after the global line. So pull the global line out of where it is and stick it at the very top and you should be fine. Don't forget your ending } !

Glad to help.

[JPDeni]

The only way to debug it is if I can see the code.

[Azphat12]

Ok decided to give this code a try.... here is the code I am currently using.

Code Select Expand

//the id of the this article

$show_form= 'true';

So the overall code is working.  But there is a large gap at the top, and some of the answers do not line up.  I exagerated them here, but it is maybe a space or 2 on the post.

Also is there a way to ask for an applicant to log into SMF before posting?  Right now I can apply with no login.  Either a login or a visual confirm at the bottom of the app or something?  If not I can deal with is.

[JPDeni]

I would suggest taking out the <br  /> in

Code Select Expand


$postbody = 'Enrollment application has been made by ' . $context['user']['name'] .'<br />
<table>


I'm not sure what you mean by "some of the answers to not line up." Are you talking about lining up nicely in vertical columns? If so, the problem is likely due to there being html in the code but you have not allowed html in your posts. You can change it, though.

Wherever you see < > brackets in the table structure, change them to [ ] brackets. Like this:

Code Select Expand


$postbody = 'Enrollment application has been made by ' . $context['user']['name'] .'<br />
[table]
[tr][td]Real Name:[/td][td]  ' . $_POST['real_name'] . '[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Email address:[/td][td]  ' . $_POST['email'] . '[/td][/tr]


Also I noticed that there were some duplicated tags which might be messing up your table.

Notice

Code Select Expand


<tr><td>Real Name:<td></td><td>  ' . $_POST['real_name'] . '</td></tr>


There's an extra <td> tag after the label. I think it's on every row. You can try taking out the extra one first and see if that works before going to the trouble of editing all the brackets.

Also is there a way to ask for an applicant to log into SMF before posting?  Right now I can apply with no login.  Either a login or a visual confirm at the bottom of the app or something?  If not I can deal with is.

I thought that was part of it.

If you have the most recent version of TP, you should be able to select which groups it's visible to. If not, right after

Code Select Expand


global $sourcedir, $user_info, $context ;


add

Code Select Expand


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


and (very important!!) at the very end of the code, add

Code Select Expand


}


[Azphat12]

@JPDeni - I took out the

Code Select Expand

<br />and it lessened the gap, but not by much.

I then went into the admin panel and enabled basic HTML....which didnt help
I then took out all the extra <td> that you mentioned, all that did was put all my answers in the top gap, and the questions below....or vice versa I dont remember.
I then started changing the <table> to

Code Select Expand

[table] and that really messed things up and put alot of code on the output of the form.....

So....I was looking around and found that you posted your original code.  It is alot closer to what I had before (infact I think we talked about that in my other thread).  I upgraded to Tinyportal beta 1 (or whatever the newest was yesterday) and it looked really good.

I liked the output of the form alot better, and I am more familiar with editing it since that is the one I used before. 

I did see an error in your post above tho.... ['charname'] you listed as ['charname' 

Took me awhile to find that one!!   

I will be looking to add the login info edit you posted, and I really like the math problem as a way to verify someone is at the keyboard, 

[JPDeni]

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.
