Boilerplate new post links

Here's the forum for the forum. Well, more it's the forum to house the subforums related to the forum, where the admins play whack-a-mole. If you have forum problems, fill in form 4271-K, and file it in the appropriate subforum. Or forum, as the case may be.

Boilerplate new post links

Post by Mira Octavius-Aryani »

Does anyone know of a way of crafting a New Post link that will load predetermined text into the text field?

Sort of like how an email address link can include message content.

It can be done, but it'd require modifying each style that you want to use the feature in. Which might be only one, if you only need it in one style. Is this for some sort of a "fill out this form and post in this thread" type of thing?

e: Actually, what am I saying. Of course it can be done serverside (so you can have it in every style). How much do you need it?

I was just looking for some feasible way of turning the Citizenship Application Form into a link that creates a new thread whose initial post contains a blank version of the form.

I seem to recall that there was a Javascript you could install that would do that.
