what is the http script for an execute post action?

[FuSoYa]

Like if I wanted to post a response without hitting the "Submit reply" button? What would I type into the browser's URL bar? (specific to the motw board, i mean)

 

[avi]

it depends on the script - they react in different ways. if you want more in-depth html info, PM or IM me

I believe it depends on the thread you want to reply to as each has an ID, you just put in http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid= then the thread ID and that should do it.. Not much help

Is that what you meant?

 

[FuSoYa]

that just takes me to the input a reply page.. but I'm looking for the actual "submit" script.

 

[Russell]

Can't help you there then I'm afraid, sorry

these are the parameters that need to get passed to the server:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="newreply.php" name="vbform" method="post" onSubmit="return validate(this)">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="postreply">
<input type="hidden" name="threadid" value="76930">
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="iconid" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="yes">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="disablesmilies" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="closethread" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenreply" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="yes">
<input type="hidden" name="rating" value="0">

along with the field (name="message")

make any sense? I'm not sure if the php code will take it as a url, though.

 

[FuSoYa]

cool thanks!

 

[FuSoYa]

did you just pull that from the HTML source? I was looking around in there and saw some stuff like this, but I figured there might have been something you could indeed type into the address bar to execute the action.

 

[avi]

I pulled it from the source.

I'm not sure if there's a clickable url to post, but it would probably be something like so:

http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/newreply.php?s=&action=postreply&threadid=76930&title=&parseurl=yes&disablesmilies=&closethread=&signature=&rating=&message=

with values filled in where necessary, of course. make sense? I dunno, try screwing around and see if it works.

avi is super cool!

 

[avi]

hey fucko- the value is null, so NO that would not disable smilies

 

[xfer]

why do you call me names, i hope you feel bad now

 

[avi]

i hope YOU feel bad. hmpf.

 

[xfer]

meanvi

 

[avi]

damn straight booch!

 

[FuSoYa]

yah this is the same problem i was having.
I try the URL you exemplified with values filled in except it relocates me to a blank page with said URL in the address bar.

 

[avi]

hmm weird. like I said, it might not accept a submit function from a url like that.
