should be an easy q

[Former Member]

i want to put the bold in the members edit box as default so they can fill it in for their advertisments.

i got this example off an ad site.


After moving house I am selling my TV.

It is unboxed but in perfect working order. Comes with a wall mount bracket which I have used and also the original stands (seems I might be short of some screws)

Looking for a quick sale before I try eBay. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Price and currency:
Delivery:
Payment method:
Location:
Advertised elsewhere?:
Prefer goods collected?:



is this possible?

Barring a full-fledged plugin, you could add a message parameter to the link which will insert any url-encoded value you assign there so for example if I wanted threads created in this support board to auto-fill with the questionnaire you just posted I would append the following:?message=%5Bb%5DPrice%20and%20currency%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DDelivery%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DPayment%20method%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DLocation%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DAdvertised%20elsewhere%3F%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DPrefer%20goods%20collected%3F%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20
to the  URL on the create thread button (example: Create Support Thread)

You would want to go into the Board List template, and take the following line:

<ul class="controls"><li>$[create_thread_button]</li></ul>

Changing it to

{if $[board.id] == XX}
<ul class="controls"><li><a role="button" href="$[create_thread_href]?message=%5Bb%5DPrice%20and%20currency%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DDelivery%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DPayment%20method%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DLocation%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DAdvertised%20elsewhere%3F%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DPrefer%20goods%20collected%3F%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20">Create Advert</a></li></ul>
{else}
<ul class="controls"><li>$[create_thread_button]</li></ul>
{/if}

Where XX is the ID of the board you want it to affect. If you click into the board, and look at the URL in the address board, you should see a number, which is the ID.

what do u mean by 'take' the following line?

do mean delete it and replace with the other ?

and im wanting it in a few boards, how do i put a few board id's in the XX

[Craig]

Yes. Find and replace.

You would need to say board or board:

{if $[board.id] == XX || $[board.id] == XX || $[board.id] == XX}

[Former Member]

ok i thimk iv got this thanks


wish me luck lol

[Former Member]

ok craig.

iv put the code in for board id 62 and the create thread button has changed to 'create advert' which is great, but its not working, and i want to add this to about 25 other boards aswell.

what do i do?

rentashop.proboards.com/

iv taken it off lock if you want to look

the code is on line 13 in the board template not the board list. i may have done it wrong idk.

[Craig]

It's on maintenance mode

But checking. The $[create_thread_href] doesn't appear to do what you would assume it would. But, no worries.

{if $[board.id] == XX}
<ul class="controls"><li><a role="button" href="/thread/new/$[board.id]?message=%5Bb%5DPrice%20and%20currency%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DDelivery%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DPayment%20method%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DLocation%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DAdvertised%20elsewhere%3F%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20%0a%5Bb%5DPrefer%20goods%20collected%3F%3A%5B%2Fb%5D%20">Create Advert</a></li></ul>
{else}
<ul class="controls"><li>$[create_thread_button]</li></ul>

I can't edit it. Give it a go. You can always reset to default if you mess it up. Don't be scared
