Pre formatted new Post

[BigAlGeorge]

Hi is there a mod to do this?

From my Sticky Post in my forum I want users to be able to click on a link, which takes them to a pre-formatted new post in the same board.

EG:
(new post with preformat Title I'll be available for video chat)
Approximate start/end date and time __________________________
My username______________________________________________
Favourite beers____________________________________________

Hopefully the above makes sense. So that a user reading my sticky just clicks on a link which makes the preformatted new post for them to fill in the details?

Thanks, Al.

Custom forms mod

Cant install comes up with weird: "This mod requires a minimum of PHP %s in order to function. (You are currently running PHP %s)"

Im using PHP 7.4

Ideas? thanks.

Custom forms mod 2.0.0 installs fine in php 7.4.  Do you have current version?  Have you confirmed server is actually running php 7.4?  Cpanel will sometimes report incorrect version.

Im using DirectAdmin and just changed to PHP 7.3 same error. What has me stymied is the error is as I reported before and it looks like SMF is not identifying the version correctly otherwise % would be replaced with version (unless there is a script error in version check error code)

When I download the mod it shows as version 1.8, not 2. I cant see any option to download 2 from SMF mods
With file version 2.0 it shows as version 1.8 so that is not the problem.

I believe %s are placeholders, the mod installer is not able to detect php version.  Installs for me in php 7.2 and 7.4.  You can try posting in mod support topic -

Version 2.0.0 installs as 1.8, wouldn't worry about that.

What I tried was modifying .htaccess thus:

Code Select Expand

<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php7|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-lsphp70
</FilesMatch>

Made no difference the Forms mod still throws up same php error - definitely Im using Version 7.4

That htaccess directive probably isn't needed since it tells the server to process php files with php 7.0.

Solved; it was as simple as .htaccess removing Code:

Code Select Expand


#In order to change the version to 7.0 -

<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php7|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-lsphp80
</FilesMatch>

Which is very odd because I manually added that after PHP was not identified properly by mod
