Post from website outside smf forum to forum script problem

james78 · May 20, 2010, 10:17:12 PM

Hi I was given this script kindly by Arantor which i am very grateful for,
there is a html form which posts to this php file which gathers the textfields and textarea and posts to a board on forum which works great and echos out the message but above this is an error.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/******/public_html/***/forum/Sources/Subs-Post.php on line 2992
This has been posted.

here is the form code on website outside forum

Code Select

<?php
require('forum/SSI.php');

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>post form test</title>
</head>

<body>
 
<form action="postform.php" method="post">
<p>Your Name: <input type="text" name="subject" /><br />




<p>Your comments:<br />
<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea></p>

<p><input type="submit" value="Send it!"></p>
</form>

</body>
</html>

and here is the script that the form posts too which does post to forum just gives that error

Code Select

<?php
require('forum/SSI.php');
require('forum/Sources/Subs-Post.php');

// 0. If the user isn't logged in, boot them.
if (empty($context['user']['id']))
	die('Sorry, you must be logged in.');

// 1. Get the subject. Sanitise it.
$_POST['subject'] = empty($_POST['subject']) ? 'No subject' : $_POST['subject'];
$_POST['subject'] = strtr($smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($_POST['subject']), array("\r" => '', "\n" => '', "\t" => ''));

// 2. Get the main message. I don't know if you're using the bbc editor or not, presuming you are/want to at some stage.
if (!empty($_REQUEST['message_mode']) && isset($_REQUEST['message']))
{
	// If we came from WYSIWYG, we need to convert from HTML to bbc, then unhtml it; then push to $_POST for everything else
	$_REQUEST['message'] = un_htmlspecialchars(html_to_bbc($_REQUEST['message']));
	$_POST['message'] = $_REQUEST['message'];
}

if (!isset($_POST['message']) || $smcFunc['htmltrim']($smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($_POST['message']), ENT_QUOTES) === '')
	$_POST['message'] = 'No message'; // this prevents errors in a minute

// 3. Set up the arrays we need for createPost()
$board = 2; // I don't actually know what board this should be.

$msgOptions = array(
	'id' => 0,
	'subject' => $_POST['subject'],
	'body' => $_POST['message'],
	'icon' => 'xx',
	'smileys_enabled' => true,
);
$topicOptions = array(
	'id' => 0,
	'board' => $board, // Id # for the board the topic is going into
	'mark_as_read' => true,
);
$posterOptions = array(
	'id' => $user_info['id'], // everything else can be set from this.
	'ip' => $user_info['ip'],
	'update_post_count' => true,
);

createPost($msgOptions, $topicOptions, $posterOptions);

// 4. Tell the user we're done.


echo 'This has been posted.';


?>

could somebody help correct my mistakes or something or if Arantor is around , I would just like to make this work without errors.

I also wanted to ask if this could go to a thankyou page after posted rather than just echo out text and wondered if the form was ment to be written diffrently than i have done.

sorry for all the questions I am trying to learn just keep stumbling over 1 hurdle after another

many thanks in advance

forum version is 2.0 RC3

Find this line in the script code:

Code Select


$board = 2; // I don't actually know what board this should be.

After that line, add this:

Code Select



// We're coming from SSI, so we have to set this up explicitly.
$board_info = array();
$board_info['parent_boards'] = getBoardParents($board);

Save and upload.

Thankyou that worked a treat.

I also have a more detailed form with more textfields, could someone help me write the code so that like the above script gets the subject and message.

I would like it to get all textfields and enter them as a single message, here is a sample of form code and here is a screenshot of what i mean when it is posted and displayed on forum

Code Select

<form id="cmatch_form" name="cmatch_form" action="postform.php" method="post">
<table width="530" border="0" cellpadding="5">
  <tr>
    <td><strong>General Details</strong></td>
    <td align="right">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Title of topic: (eg. Your clan vs Our Clan)</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Gamer Tag:</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="cgtag" id="cgtag" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Clan Name:</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="cname" id="cname" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Clan Website:</td>
    <td align="right">http://<input type="text" name="cweb" id="cweb" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Date Of Proposed Can Match:<br />
(dd/mm/yyyy)</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="cdate" id="cdate" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Time Of Proposed Clan Match</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="ctime" id="ctime" />
    <select name="ampm" size="1" id="ampm">
    <option value="AM/PM">AM/PM</option>
    <option value="AM">AM</option>
    <option value="PM">PM</option>
  </select></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td align="right">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Clan Match Details</strong></td>
    <td align="right">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td align="right">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Game Type: (Hardcore/Noral, etc.)</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="ctype" id="ctype" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Game Mode: (S&amp;D, Headquarters, etc.)</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="cmode" id="cmode" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Team Size: (6vs6, 5vs5, etc)</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="csize" id="csize" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Exclusions</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="text" name="cexcl" id="cexcl" /></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Additional Info</td>
    <td align="right"><textarea name="message" id="message" cols="30" rows="5"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td align="right">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td align="right"><input type="submit" value="Submit challenge" id="submit_post">
</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>

many thanks in advance
