templates as an option to post

Post by theworkasmeditation »

Hello,

I have a question regarding templates that people can use to edit their answers and then post the whole thing into a forum as a new post. Kind of like an editable PDF or a form that once submitted will post instead. I have the idea that it could work like a dropdown menu where I can select the form I want to use (because I have a few) and then the submit button that can pop up the form that I want to use, then fill it in with my answers(the questions will be set on the template) and then submit it as a post.

can you please direct me to the correct documentation on how to achieve this with phpBB or something that could help?

Thank you!

Hello,

The phpBB 3.3 version of the Post Models extension is available on the developer's GitHub repository.

That extension is 7 years old, was written for phpBB 3.1.x and has never been updated which will lead to some problems if someone tries to install it on phpBB 3.3.x!

It was updated a little over two years ago, I have provided the link to the 3.3 branch which is compatible with phpBB 3.3.

We use this extension on a daily basis on phpbb-fr.com.

Thank you for your answers. I checked the Github and it's pretty old, I'll keep waiting to see if someone has a similar issue or found a possible solution for it.

if cabot states it's working and he's been using it for 2 years, then I'm betting that it works.

There are a couple of reduntant directories (which I removed) in the github download and I'm getting (ACP > Posting > Messages > Post Models)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/config.php on line 14: Constant PHPBB_INSTALLED already defined
[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/config.php on line 15: Constant PHPBB_ENVIRONMENT already defined
but it doesn't seem to hinder the functioning.

If you're waiting for a new version, you might have to wait a long time as there's no real need to update it ATM.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
