First, thank you so very much for making the alterations to this module! I love it!

A little problem though: The answer to question 2 appears to be broken and the display for question 10 appears to be broken as well.

Is the problem in the editor? i have looked about and it seems to work all good for me.

[RaynDarren]

My apologies, that was in the viewing from the grotto. The editor and application in the village appear to be fine

[Brendan]

Hmm, i get this in the viewer.



That's after adding the questions and filling out a form.

[RaynDarren]

Sorry, can't see the image, so I'm afraid I can't be of any help in troubleshooting

[Brendan]

All questions and answers appear as they should. I can't see any problems with it, hm.

[RaynDarren]

Could the two digit number be the issue? Perhaps instead of q and a 10, how bout q and a 0? Oh, and I noticed the answers start with arg, then arg2... shouldnt it be arg1, arg2 and so on?

[HunterD]

Rayn, were you using the original version?  If so, delete your existing apps and try again.

[Brendan]

There is really not an issue on my end so i don't think it is the numbers. Can you try a fresh install as Hunter said?

I've edited the module for better functioning (attached), and these are the edits I've made:

• I noticed that when players were submitting their applications, at times it would badnav, and not let the player submit OR edit. This was because if they inserted a '/' in any of their answers, that would appear in the URL when submitting or editing, and stuff the whole URL up, and functioning of the module. I've fixed that up.
• I added in two mail links as well, one in the viewer (where a staff can view all applications), and one in the application viewer (where a staff can view a single application), as I noted something Contessa wrote earlier about petitions and mailing easily.
• Made the chats in each application separate, so other staff know who others are talking about, and an extra one in the main viewer for overall comments.
• Extra setting, and two buttons in the Viewer, which allow a MegaUser to accept/decline staff applications, and send a YoM out to the player who submitted the application.
• Changed all the code that was repeated (i.e. text boxes, listing questions/answers) to 'while' and 'if' loops for easier coding/smaller module, and for those that don't use ten questions (e.g. only use 8, etc.)
• Displays number of comments in each section, so you can see if a new comment has been psoted about an application.
• 'Previous Application' and 'Next Application' buttons in each application so you don't have to return to the Viewer everytime you want to look at a new application.
• Link to player's bio present when viewing player's Staff Application.

In this edit, line 232 reads:

Code:

<?php
} else if ($op == "dec"){
?>

It should read:

Code:

<?php
} else if ($op2 == "dec"){
?>

Fixed and attached to the previous post.
