Making topics trough a form instead of the normal way.

[TWK]

Hi all,
I got a simple but (maybe) a very handy mod. This mod would make it able for admins to set per forum a special status in which ppl if they make a new topic get the option to fill in a special form instead of making a post with their own content.

A simple example. Let's say i have an introduction forum. When ppl wanna make a new topic in this forum they would get to see the form that the admin created in the admin panel for that forum. The form in my example could have questions like; name, place, age and stuff like that. And when the topic is posted u would see an organised post that should be the same for every topic made in that forum.

This seems like a great addon to have for invision.

I would find that useful as well

Yea it would be great if someone could make this as a mod for 2.1.x or if Invision could add it for their next version.

Yeah, like a questionnaire, with a smaller post field underneath where you can add your own comments. Good idea. :)

Second example: the movie review forum. Have a field for title, stars, director, IMDb link, review, and rating.

Yea and many more options :). For example, a trading forum where ppl could start a new topic about things they got for sale. Then when they start a topic they could fill in a form with info about the product got for sale, this would make watching forums like these much easier.
