Jois Us Application

[badger]

Does anyone here know how to make a Join Us Application forum? To be more specific its kinda like a contact us forum page but instead u customize the page for someone to join your clan and it gets sent to your e-mail when they submit that forum.

What are you intending to ask on this form?

I want to add it to my inferno theme. I was wondering If there is such plugin for smf? or if anyone knew how to make one

There is no existing plugin to create a clan application form, however what you're asking is basically the same thing as a contact form, the only difference being that your users will be submitting clan-specific info rather than sending you a personal email. This I can do, however I am still very basic, and it will be just plain table-based html. But before I can code one up for you, I'll need to know what information you want your users to submit when they apply to join a clan.

that would totally rock man!

This is what I wanted to add in the forum:

Name:
Age:
Location:
Games you play:
Why would you like to Join Amateur Gaming?:

[Chair]

Code: [Select]

<form method="post" action="mailto:youremailaddress">
<fieldset><legend><h2>Clan Application Form</h1></legend>

<table>
<tr>
<td>Name: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" value="Name"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Age: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="age" value="Age"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email: </td><td><input type="text" name="email" value="Email"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Games you play: </td><td><textarea name="games" value="What games do you play?"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Why would youlike to <br />join Amateur Gaming? </td><td><textarea name="motivation" value="Why would you like to join Amateur Gaming?"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="Submit" value="submit"/>
<input type="Reset" value="reset"/></td>
</tr>
</table>

</fieldset>

</form>
That is about the best I can do without styling. This form will probably open up your user's email client in order to send the info, so for now, change the "youremailaddress" in the code to your actual email address, and then ask over at www.simplemachines.org how to make your form submit via the web server rather than the emailclient, as it's 5 a.m. where i live and i have to study tomorrow for my big exam on monday :/

I would help you more,but thats the best i could do in the small amount of time that I had :/

There's a mod on SMF's site that will do this..  Not sure what version of SMF you're running but here's the link to the mod:

Instead of using your mail system and getting an email, this will make a post with the info that they've entered..  You can make it so it is only viewable by admins/mods or whoever through the board permissions just like normal as well..  I've used it with success on a few different occasions..
