Forms to forum

<< < (2/2)

BKerr:
I dont think the "Register Account" type thing would work...but lets wait for Unknown to respond...

Springer:
Probably right.  But it was the closest thing I could think of that was already in SMF.

Springer:
Thanks to an idea from Dove (she posted the php spell check a while back) I think we might have thought of something.


Create a copy of the default theme name it Form1.  This is not a theme users can select.

Create a new board called Forms.  Permissions so that anyone can post.  Set to the theme Form1, non changeable.

Edit the Theme so that the message display resembles a Form.    No buttons for style, smilies, preview, or even links to other areas of the forum.  This part I am unsure about because I do not know if it is possible to manipulate the post box in such a way that it appears to the user that they are filling out a form.

This would require what ever link sent them there to act as a Post new topic or reply in the board.


Now the sneaky part.  Make the board with all access not be seen by everyone.
There is a way to make boards invisible.  So I assume that it could be adjusted to invisible to all but admin.

Since only the post message template was changed the admin can still read the posts and navigate correctly?
