Gang Description Idea

[Strats]

I play a lot of games, and it's always the same thing with gangs.

You can make a nice gang description ... fine

But when you go and change it you have to copy and paste in into the box.

I'm sure there is a way to keep the description in the box for it to be add to.

Can any one do this?

I have looked about and can't find how to do it.

Re: Gang Description Idea

You would look for something like..

<textarea name='gangdesc' rows='x' cols='x'></textarea>

change that to..

<textarea name='THESAME' rows='x' cols='x'>".$gangdata['gangDESC']."</textarea>

It worked once for me lol

But back to normal now, My text is different than yours.

 

print "Current Description: 

{$gangdata['gangDESC']} <form action='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=desc' method='post'>
Enter the new description.

<input type='hidden' name='subm' value='submit' />
Desc: 

<textarea name='vp' cols='40' rows='7'></textarea>

<input type='submit' value='Change' /></form>";

Re: Gang Description Idea

Closer, Now I need to get it in the box.

It shows up under the box.

Is there anything wrong with this :

 

function gang_staff_desc()
{
global $db,$ir,$c,$userid,$gangdata;
if($gangdata['gangPRESIDENT'] == $userid  )
{
if(isset($_POST['subm']))
{
$_POST['vp']=str_replace(array("<", ">", "\n"), array("<", ">", "
"), $_POST['vp']);
$db->query("UPDATE gangs SET gangDESC='{$_POST['vp']}' WHERE gangID={$gangdata['gangID']}");
print "Faction description changed!

[url='yourgang.php?action=staff']> Back[/url]";
}
else
{
print "Current Description: 

{$gangdata['gangDESC']} <form action='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=desc' method='post'>
Enter the new description.

<input type='hidden' name='subm' value='submit' />
Desc: 

<textarea name='vp' cols='40' rows='7'></textarea>
".$gangdata['gangDESC']."</textarea><input type='submit' value='Change' /></form>";

Re: Gang Description Idea

Maybe try..

 

function gang_staff_desc()
{
global $db,$ir,$c,$userid,$gangdata;
if($gangdata['gangPRESIDENT'] == $userid  )
{
if(isset($_POST['subm']))
{
$_POST['vp']=str_replace(array("<", ">", "\n"), array("<", ">", "
"), $_POST['vp']);
$db->query("UPDATE gangs SET gangDESC='{$_POST['vp']}' WHERE gangID={$gangdata['gangID']}");
print "Faction description changed!

[url='yourgang.php?action=staff']> Back[/url]";
}
else
{
print "Current Description: 

{$gangdata['gangDESC']} <form action='yourgang.php?action=staff&act2=desc' method='post'>
Enter the new description.

<input type='hidden' name='subm' value='submit' />
Desc: 

<textarea name='vp' cols='40' rows='7'>".$gangdata['gangDESC']."</textarea><input type='submit' value='Change' /></form>";
