Application form

[JimA]

subsilver2 available ?

I haven't written anything for subsilver2.

But there was someone was made a file that worked on subsilver2.

[RMcGirr83]

It's amazing the things one can find if one actually reads the topic, eh?

[Shadow of Nobody]

As an addendum; I cannot speak for the previous poster asking about subsilver2, but I did see the solution to installing the mod on subsilver2, the reason I decided not to use it is as I specified in my previous post, I would rather not take the risk of possibly breaking something while editing a file I'm not entirely confident about.

Just making this post since it feels somewhat like RMcGirr83 was taking a jab at myself or 'Bullsaj', or both of us.

[ChriZathens]

It is just a template file.. Making a few tests can't do any harm, even if the posted solution does not work..

[KomyOmy]

It's possible to send this application form using the private message ?

[Artaryl]

I've installed the mod, done quite a few modification. It was working at first but now I only get an empty page as you can see: http://www.realitydeviant.org/forums/application.php

I must be missing something but I can't find what. I went back to the 3 files and the code seems fine so I'm not sure now.

These are the modification done:

Recheck your edits in the language file and make sure that it is saved as utf8 without bom.

EDIT: One part I noticed:

Code: Select all

They’ll decide if ou are elligible to become 

Instead of "They'll" try writing "They will", or "They\' ll"

I've check the language file, it's in UTF-8 and no BOM is showing but the problem would be coming from that file still. I've check with the original fine included in the mod and that one works perfectly where as the edited part doesn't.

EDIT: I've fixed the issue by using the original file and editing it again. It's working fine now.

[pancettabuddy87]

Where is the link for users to apply?
Also where can you find out the forum id?

[jimanvlad]

I modified this to suit my needs but i have a problem. I pinpointed it and it leads to the language file which looks like this.

To be more exact, the problem is at 'APPLICATION_SUBJECT' and 'APPLICATION_MESSAGE'. After i fill in the fields and i press submit, i get a page could not be found (in chrome, or something related to a compression error in firefox) but my application does get posted but with the subject "0" (without quotation marks).

What is the problem ?



L.E.: Woops ! I forgot to actually add the values in the $apply_subject script -.- . My bad, problem fixed.

I really like this mod, but in adjusting it to my requirements i've run into some problems.

In my contact form I have a big number of checkboxes that have the following structure:

Code: Select all

<input type="Checkbox" name="distance" value="30" id="magic" onChange="calculate(this)" />
<input type="Checkbox" name="detectaura" value="10" id="magic" onChange="calculate(this)" />

The value is needed to calculate Data via JavaScript for another field that will also be posted within a hidden field further down.
As I have about 100 of these kind of checkboxes the post in the forum looks not nice, because most options will not be checked by the users (it is a character tool). So what I would like to reach is that only these lines are posted with the Description where the coresponding checkbox has been checked. The value does not nedd to be posted but could be posted.
I tried around in the language file, that is responsible for the output but somehow i don't get it working.

Perhaps anyone here can give me helping hand with this.

Thanks in advance

[Dragonmoon]

Ok, no reply needed any more to my previous post. i got it sorted out. If anyone is interested in information how I got it working send me a PM. I don't want to post the solution here, as it as an out of the box solution that does not follow the codingguidelines for PHPBB (e.g. separation of language, template and php core code, but I currently did not find a way getting it running within these guidelines). f I have somehow mor time, I will perhaps try to update my modifications and write them down for a public release.

[virtualfaker]

Hey. Great Mod, I like it.
But I have one question.

e.g.

There are 4 Teams to chose.
Every Team has 1 Forum on the Board.

Like
Team 1
-> Subforum: Test
Team 2
-> Subforum: Test
Team 3
-> Subforum: Test
Team 4
-> Subforum: Test

Is it possible that, the application will be posted in the Subforum: Test of at e.g. Team 3, If someone chose Team 3 in the Mod?

Like this

Name : Testuser
Which Team? : Team 3

Why? : Because I'm godlike!

[Send]

If you clicked [Send] it will be posted in

Team 3 -> Subforum: Test

Not all post of all Teams in ONE Forum!

Sorry for my bad englisch XD

[LFS_CR]

any live! demo to try?


regards !

[Dragonmoon]

@ virtualfaker

Your Problem should be quite easy to solve. First thin to be done is not to hardcode the Forum which is posted to. So get rid of the line

Code: Select all

$forumid_send = XX;

Nexts step is to manipulate the form in the template so that it transfers the forumIDs as a value

Code: Select all

<select name="team">
      				<option value="Forum ID for Team 1">Team 1</option>
      				<option value="Forum ID for Team 2">Team 2</option>
      				<option value="Forum ID for Team 3">Team 3</option>
			        <option value="Forum ID for Team 4">Team 4</option>
</select>

Replace in this form "Forum ID for Team X" by the number of the forum where it should be posted to.

Requesting the variable in the php file should than be done by adding:

Code: Select all

$forumid_send = utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('team', '', true));

If you want to make sure that no one will missuse this post function to also post to other forums you should perhaps build an array with the forumsids that are allowed to be posted to and check first if the value fits into this array. The reason to do so is because the transferred value of the form could be manipulated by javaskript or the user itself.

Hope this helped a little bit
