I am trying to create a link for users to click to private message me their answers to a contest. I would like the link to "Automatically" insert the subject as well as my name. This is what I have so far ----
privatesend.asp?method=Topic&mname=Gargoyle
I just need to know what I need to add to it to make this link fill out the subject field as well. Anyone done this before ??  |
Here is a link to my Snitz powered Drag Racing site. |

I tested this real quickly with just hard coding something into the right place. It should work just fine with a variable.
Around line 161 in privatesend.asp find the following code:
if strRqMethod = "Topic" then
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ noWrap vAlign=""top"" align=""right""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>Subject:</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><input maxLength=""50"" name=""Subject"" value=""" & Trim(ChkString(TxtSub,"display")) & """ size=""50""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if
Change it to look like this:
Dim strPMSubject
strPMSubject = Request.QueryString("mname")
if strRqMethod = "Topic" then
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ noWrap vAlign=""top"" align=""right""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>Subject:</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><input maxLength=""50"" name=""Subject"" value=""Contest Answers:" & strPMSubject & """ size=""50""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if
Change the code in red as you see fit, and that ought to get you working. |

Ok I think I've figured it out, tried it on my forums and works great
Replace the code in red...
if strRqMethod = "Topic" then
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ noWrap vAlign=""top"" align=""right""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>Subject:</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><input maxLength=""50"" name=""Subject"" value=""" & Trim(ChkString(TxtSub,"display")) & """ size=""50""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if
with...
& Request.Querystring("subject") &
then to fill in the subject field as a hyperlink use...
privatesend.asp?method=Topic&mname=rasure&subject=test pm
I suppose you could even go as far as filling in the message field too if needed. |

Around line 196, find this line:
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><textarea cols=""45"" name=""Message"" rows=""8"" wrap=""VIRTUAL"" onselect=""storeCaret(this);"" onclick=""storeCaret(this);"" onkeyup=""storeCaret(this);"" onchange=""storeCaret(this);"">" & Trim(CleanCode(TxtMsg)) & "</textarea></td>" & vbNewLine & _
Change the red text the same way you did the other one to suit your needs. |
