This is all I added to addpost.php<br /><br /><br /> // ----- JoshPet's Mod Template START ---------<br /> $platform = get_input("platform","post");<br /> $version = get_input("version","post");<br /> $fmp = get_input("fmp","post");<br /> <br /> // --- Build Subject & Body ---------<br /><br /> $Body .= "\n\nPlatform: $platform / Version: $version \nFileMaker Version: $fmp\n\n";<br /> <br /> <br /><br /><br />// ----- JoshPet's Mod Template END -----------

Didn't see this before. Sorry. <br /><br />No - given that we update here quite frequently, we didn't want a specific table. All the info is stored in the body of the post. The input form just helps it get displayed nicely. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What is the difference between $Body .= and $Body = with out the "." When I tried to set this up<br />I got it sort of working but it would post stuff twice... I am not sure how to have a few extra fields end up either at the top of the body or the bottom of the body.<br /><br />Thanks. SD

The .= adds to it.<br /><br />So if you have:<br /><br />$Body = "blah blah";<br /><br />Then body is equal to "blah blah"<br /><br />Then below that if I say:<br /><br />$Body .= "this that";<br /><br />The .= adds to it, so now body is equal to:<br /><br />"blah blah this that". <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am still baffled. I added the code to the php and added the form to the template. but<br />when the user posts i get it posted twice. the first time with the data the second time blank.<br /><br />I had to disable as it was adding extra lines to every post.<br /><br />any suggestions.

I've used this for a forum here: http://www.drumlines.org/threads/postlist.php/Board/season <br /> <br />I use it so people can submit a Fantasy Corps while keeping all of their picks in a neat format. As you can see if you visit it, I've used extensive HTML to format the post. This still works even though I have HTML off, since the HTML is not typed in by the user, but rather passed by the script. If anyone needs help with implementing this "mod" on their site, add me to the list of people that can help! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Thanks for sharing this with us PetJosh!

[/]<br /><br />I got this same problem. This happens when you have the "preview" box ticked. I removed the preview code from the tmpl file to fix this so users cannot use the feature.

Although, I am having problems with replies. They all try to include the original layout using HTML. I only want the first post in a thread to use the layout. Am I missing something?

I'll give this graemlin <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" /> to anyone *cough* PJ *cough* that would kindly show me where I went wrong.

Do you use the same form that you created to process the replies?

I use the default reply form for all replies. I only use the unique form for new posts. I have implemented a temporary fix by creating seperate newpost, etc. files for the forums, but I would like to have things laid out more efficiently.

If you are using the standard reply form, I don't know why it would try to use the HTML from the original post unless you are quoting the original message?<br /><br />I might misunderstand what's happening though.

It looked like it was still pulling the $body from the formatted part that is called when $board= matches up with the current board. I want to know how to use the formatted "if $board=" part only on new posts and not for subsequent replies.

[/]<br /><br />This is tough for me to follow - but if you PM me FTP info and a login at your board (maybe I have one) I'll take a glance. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Actually, I think the problem lies here: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I've truncated all of the $Body lines for ease of reading. I noticed you have this: <br /> <br />as part of your "if" statement. I've tried tying it to the submit button's name in newpost to no avail. Is this what is supposed to be done? I figure there has to be a purpose for this check, but I don't know what you've assigned to $modsubmit and I get the same problem with it in there.

Ah - this is so that it only "builds" the post once, otherwise, every time you preview, it gets duplicated.<br /><br />Inside your Special newpost "form", add this BETWEEN the form tags:<br /><br /><input type="hidden" name="modsubmit" value="1" /><br /><br />Then at the top of addpost.php, be sure you have a get_input line for the variable "modsubmit".<br /><br />Then your "if" should look like this:<br /><br /><br />if (($Board == "season") && ($modsubmit)){<br /><br /><br />Now this way - it only does the "building" of the detailed post text, if it's coming from your special form. If it comes from anywhere else (like the privew etc...) $modsubmit will not have a value, and it'll skip over (as your special forwarding is already in place at that point. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Make sense?

Does to me <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I finally got it working the way it should! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/yay.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Here ya go Josh! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" />

This is a great modification! <br /> <br />I only have two questions. <br /> <br />Is it possible to make some specified, or all, of these new fields mandatory? <br /> <br />How does the navigation links at modindex.php work? <br />

Anyone?
