Programmer's forums are typically
for programmers. People on their journey to becoming a skilled programmer post questions in the forums as they run into things they do not understand. We help each other out--it's give and take.
On the contrary, non-programmers just looking for someone to fix some code or provide some functionality should hire somebody. It does not make a lot of sense for people to spend time responding to your question since, as a non-programmer, you most likely will not know how to implement any answers you receive.
To find a programmer who is able and willing to be paid to develop a solution for you, check out Daniweb's
IT Water Cooler / Web Scripting Job Offers forum.

Since you have a friend who was able to code what you have so far, why not have that friend help you?
