Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Ross (admin) on 26th Nov 07 at 11:59pm
This code can be used to give users a custom posting form in order to ensure they provide certain information when posting. Common uses of this include graphics request forms and RPG character creation.

The code should be placed in the footer of the board you wish to use it on. To do this, go to the "Headers and Footer" section of your admin panel found in the "Site Design" section. From this page you can select the board you wish to use it on and press "continue" so you are presented with the text areas representing the header and footer of your forum.

Editing the Code
The following sections are the parts of the code that should be edited to suit your application of the code:
var _title = 'New Code Request'; // the name of your form

var _description = 'Please ensure you have a read of the <a href="URL">Rules</a> before posting'; // this is the description of the form telling users what to do

var _fields = new Array(); var _f = 0; // See below for editing instructions on this section
 _fields[_f++] = new Array('input', 'Description', ['size', 40, 'maxLength', 50], '', 'Please give a short description of what it is you're after. Include any relevant keywords.', false);
_fields[_f++] = new Array('select', 'Type', false, ['All Pages', 'Main Page', 'Mini-Profile', 'Info Center', 'Private Messaging', 'Profile', 'Posting', 'Thread Listing', 'Welcome Table', 'Other'], 'Select the category/area that best fits the type of code you're after.', true);
_fields[_f++] = new Array('input', 'Example', ['size', 40, 'maxLength', 200], false, 'If you have an example of what you want to achieve, please link to it here. This can be anything from an image of what you need to a link to a forum using the code you want.', false);
_fields[_f++] = new Array('textarea', 'Request Details', ['cols', 40, 'rows', 10], false, 'Please give as much information as possible about your request. The more information you give now, the easier it will be for someone to fill your request.', true);

var _widths = ['100%', '20%', '40%', '40%']; // These are the widths of each box. You may need to alter them to prevent lines being streyched if you use a thin width.

 
The parts highlighted in red are the actual posting fields. There are 3 types of field you can use, an example of each is given below where:

The blue parts are the attributes for this field, unless you know HTML it's probably best to leave them as they are.
The purple true/flase sets if the field is a required field or not (false means it can be left blank).

You can list as many different fields as necessary where shown above. The first field will always be the subject of the posted message. Some general rules to remember when editing these fields are that you cannot place an apostrophe in any of the fields without first escaping it with a backslash '. Also, you cannot put in any line breaks/returns by pressing the enter key, to insert a new line into a description use <br />

Single Line Input:
_fields[_f++] = new Array('input', 'Field Name, ie. "Character Name" or "Description"', ['size', 40, 'maxLength', 50], 'Default Value filled in when the form loads. Can be left blank', 'A short description of what the field is for', false);


Drop down menu:
_fields[_f++] = new Array('select', 'Field Name, ie. "Gender" or "Type"', [], ['All Pages', 'Main Page', 'Mini-Profile', 'Info Center', 'Private Messaging', 'Profile', 'Posting', 'Thread Listing', 'Welcome Table', 'Other'], 'A short description of what the field is for.', true);

Here, the red represents the different options. Each option should be wrapped in single quotation marks (') and seperated by a comma (,)


Multiple-Line Text Area:
_fields[_f++] = new Array('textarea', 'Field Name, ie. "History" or "Further Details"', ['cols', 40, 'rows', 10], 'Default Value', 'A short description of what the field is for.', false);


If you have any trouble editing the form as you need it then please post below or in the support board with the part you have edited (there's no need to post the whole code) and the URL to where you're trying to use it

Is this Cross Browser?

Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Ross (admin) on 29th Nov 07 at 9:57am
It should, at the very least, be working with Internet Explorer 6+ and Firefox 2+. I've not tested it in any other browsers like Opera or Safari.
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 30th Nov 07 at 1:07am
ok I only use Fire Fox, So then It should work, this would be good for my Advertising forum.

EDIT: I need help with this Code, I will Pm you what I need done with it.
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 2nd Dec 07 at 6:53am
This does not work. I put it in the boards footer I wanted it to be in, but it does not show up. I am giving you an example of what I mean:

The code works fine. You had just missed the </script> off of the end. I've added it back for you and it's now loading OK.

OK, I've made a fix to the code in the first post. For some reason I had lost the backslashes {Embarassed}

Ahh I see, and do I have to put the backslashes, or can you on my code?

Edit: Ahh I see the banner was to big in my sigy, I can resize it. What is the specific Height and length? I know for PB its 500x250.

Excellent code. Just what I needed.
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By gray929 (gray929) on 10th Jan 08 at 2:24am
Question about the dropdown box. When I added this:

Code:
Select All
 
  1. _fields[_f++] = new Array('select', 'Field Name, ie. "Gender" or "Type"', [], ['All Pages', 'Main Page', 'Mini-Profile', 'Info Center', 'Private Messaging', 'Profile', 'Posting', 'Thread Listing', 'Welcome Table', 'Other'], 'A short description of what the field is for.', true);
 


The options I wanted in the dropdown all went into the text field. All I did was change the names above. Am I missing a step?

Must have gotten caught up with all the variables.

Is there a way to make it so if a user selects an option, for instance "Other" a text field will show up?
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 11th Jan 08 at 12:50am
I am not prepared to go and modify Ross' code for that! {Sad}

Couldn't you just have the text field showing and have a description saying: "only fill if 'other' is selected"?

Insulting code creators is never a good idea; they make these codes for you on their own time, not because they have to. {Unsure}

If you'd like help with a code, head on over to Code Support.

My Perfect World RP needs this code for multiple boards and it won't work on most of those boards

A suggestion: have a variable for post title or people can use default title method, also an optional variable for description
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 18th Dec 09 at 5:05am
Does the code have something like this: Don't if so then it would need something like this Don\'t in order for it to work.

But just in case, can you post the codes that don't work?

What about the other code? And the room code must be changed every time somebody makes a room:

Room

-Sub-Room
--Sub-Sub-Room
-Sub-Room

Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 18th Dec 09 at 11:26pm
Basically when somebody creates a room I add that room to the code to be selected
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 18th Dec 09 at 11:33pm
Oh I see what you mean. Just follow this format:

_fields[_f++] = new Array('select', 'Location of Room', false, ['Perfect World', '--Portal of Darkness', '--Paradise', '----Kami\'s battle house', '----Fantasia','new room 1','new room 2'], '..', true);

just add ,'new room here' when you want a new room. {Smile}

and if there is something like above "Kami's" you would want to add "Kami\'s", because without the back slash, it would break the code.
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 19th Dec 09 at 4:51am
Oh I see, alright
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 19th Dec 09 at 9:58pm
This:

Code:
Select All
 
  1. document.post_form.message.value += '' + _fields[_f][1] + ': ' + _value + 'nn';
 


Should be:

Code:
Select All
 
  1. document.post_form.message.value += '' + _fields[_f][1] + ': ' + _value + '\n';
 
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 19th Dec 09 at 10:47pm
I just took the code from the first page, and added the "_fields[_f++]" part, and it works just fine. I tried those parts with the 1 you had it didn't work, but it worked quite well with the first one on the first page. I'm still a newbie to coding. {Tongue Out} But I do know allot of it.
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 20th Dec 09 at 2:07am
With the nn it posts like:

Name1:Value1nnName2:Value2nn

With the 2nd way:

Name1:Value1
Name2:Value2
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 22nd Dec 09 at 6:26pm
Could you add radio buttons and checkboxes to the code? And maybe even blank lines if the person using it needs them?
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 23rd Dec 09 at 5:17am
I'm not sure how to do that. PM Micheal and he could do it for you. {Smile}
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 23rd Dec 09 at 2:38pm
I don't see what you'd need check boxes or radio buttons for that a select box couldn't do. =/
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 23rd Dec 09 at 7:40pm
There are things where radio buttons and checkboxes would be better than select box,

Example 1:
Gender - Best as radio buttons

Example 2:
Multiple options that can be selected: checkboxes

I know how to do this with select box but checkboxes would just be easier on the user end
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 24th Dec 09 at 6:12am
Gender, in my opinion would be best as a select box.

Anyway, I'm heading away for Christmas in 2 hours, so got to pack etc. I won't be able to get to this until after .... unless someone else jumps on it.
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 24th Dec 09 at 6:24am
Could I have specific select boxes change based on which gender is selected? And have a hidden field contain a random value from a list and another from a select number range?
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 24th Dec 09 at 6:27am
Anything's possible, just wait till I return! {Smile}
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 24th Dec 09 at 6:30am
Yeah unless somebody else does it before you, anything is possible
Re: Predefined Posting Template/Form - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 29th Dec 09 at 10:56pm
Have you decided exactly what it is that you want? 'cause it'll be quite complex for me to code it for you! {Smile}

The template shows up beautifully though. ^.^

I'm curious is it possible to have predefined UBBC code to make it "prettier"? xD

Code:
Select All
 
  1. [size=4][b]Appearance[/b][/size]
  2. [u]Hair Color:[/u]  Hair info here
  3. [u]Eye Color:[/u]  Eye info here
  4. [u]Height:[/u]  Height info here
  5. [u]Weight:[/u] Weight Box info here
  6. (Description Box here)Nunc id eros neque, at gravida tortor. Sed magna tellus, lobortis non ultrices malesuada, vestibulum nec magna. Sed tincidunt lorem eget ligula varius vulputate. Fusce id auctor nulla. Fusce odio nisl, pulvinar eu facilisis non, ultricies id diam. Nunc viverra, sapien sit amet vulputate consectetur, enim tellus euismod mauris, vel elementum erat odio nec augue. Quisque non hendrerit nisi.
