Post & Thread Template

[OJ]

Done! Sorry it took so long. Had a family day today, so couldn't get to it till right now.

Can you take a look to make sure I did it correctly?

Anything else I gotta do?

if(boardid == PTF.which_boards_ || boardid == PTF.which_boards_2 || boardid == PTF.which_boards_3 This line needs extending to how many templates you have){

The second part is fine, the part above needs the || boardid == PTF.which_boards_2 10 times for 10 templates.

Done! Anything else?

Nope! You can now fill in the inputs from the manage section and see what happens!
If nothing happens, let me know and I'll take a look.

Ok I finished the first 3 templates but none of them are working for some reason... Was there something I did wrong?

[<i>pebble</i>]

You copied in a stray ; that I've removed. Can you give me a link to a board that it is set up to work on?

[OJ]

Actually what you did made them work again. Here's a link though: Clicky

Just one question though... for some reason the html for <ul> doesn't seem to be working. Does it not support that? If not, then how can I make a list?

Also, like I mentioned before, is it possible to edit how the template will look once it's posted?

Where are you using the UL - LI ? In the rules? If so, there is some CSS that comes with PB's that removes the LI styling. We can try to get round that if you let me know where you are adding it.

The template that is posted, we should be able to style. I'll have a look later on and let you know where to add the styling.

I'm adding it them in the description header. I'm adding each templates' rules to the description part that shows above the form. That's where I want the list tags.

Let me know about the styling as well bro.

Thanks again!

I added an 'id' to your ul in the template and then added this to the bottom of your style sheet:

/* template CSS */
ul#formlist{
  list-style-type:square;
   padding-left: 10px;
}
You can change that to what ever you want.
If you want this style in all your templates, change the id to a class and then you can use the same class name in each template and just the one bit of CSS. remember to change the CSS to class from id as well!

Hey @<i>pebble</i>league. Sorry for the late reply. I've been a bit busy lately, but I finally managed to finish 7 forms out of the 10.

This is where my problem starts though... For some reason template 7 doesn't want to work. Can you take a look as to why it's not working? I followed your instructions and you even said it was good to go, so idk why it's not working...

Also, regarding the styling for the posted template, basically I'm looking for 2 things...

1: Right now there are 3 input options (Text, Input & Select). I want to add another type of input to the form for the fields that require a larger number of texts. Specifically for descriptions or other comments. This input can be called "Description". When this input is selected, the text entered here will have a <br> and will also be blockquoted when posted.

2: I would like to change the color of all the title fields to differentiate them with the text in the fields.

I would also like to add a second input. This wouldn't be for the posted template, but for the form itself.
On some of my forms there are fields that are a MUST to be filled out. I want to add an input (maybe call it "Mandatory") where if a member fails to fill it, and they click on "Create Post" they will get an error with a message below that field saying something like "You must fill this field to continue".
This is a totally separate thing from the "I agree" checkbox.

Can this be done?

I've got a busy work week ahead. I'll try and take a look at this over the weekend.

OJ, I just went to look at this but I've lost your site URL & the one in your profile is expired.

Fixed!
