Hey there!

First off, I really like the ease of this mod's wizard for building forms since I don't really have any programming knowledge beyond changing code for hours on end until it does what I want it to do...not exactly efficient to say the least.

Anyways. I think what I want to do is fairly simple, although I don't really know where to go within the joomla side of things within the plugin.

I want registered users to be able to fill out the said form and once they hit submit, it simply creates a new thread in the specific phpbb3 forum with their username since they are indeed a registered user. Unregistered users won't be able to submit at all until they register.

I use a bridged phpbb3 forum with jfusion if that information is needed and use the newest chronoform.

I've searched all over for a mod/extension that could set this up easily and somewhat automatically to no avail, so here I am! Hopefully someone can provide some easy insight into a solution.

Thanks!

Hi Josiah,

Unfortunately that's not a trivial task. It's probably possible if you have a pretty intimate knowledge of the coding of PHPBB3 and can work out exactly what has to be added to which database tables to record a post correctly. (Typically several tables are involved to track posters, threads, etc.)

If I remember correctly someone did get something like this working for FireBoard a year or so ago, but that took quite a lot of worka dn PHPBB3 is more complex.

Okay. Thats not such a big problem. I can have the form sent to an email easily enough though right where myself and others have access to that email?

Hi Josiah,

You can have it emailed anywhere you like.
