Thanks ..marked as installed :)

Ok after goin more into it...Errors:

When deleting a question it says form doesnt exist.... when refresh the question actually has gone.

[clayh456]

This mod does something weird in the misc.php file, causing it to not work. Going to misc.php?do=forms just loads the list of smilies, and shows something at the top about some syntax errors. Note that this is just merely having the product installed. I've not created any forms, and can't see the list.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/martinpa/public_html/zb/misc.php(97) : eval()'d code on line 57

Uninstalling for now. I'll keep an eye on the progress of this mod and try again when more bugs have been squashed. Good work though - and a very useful mod.

[digitalhype]

A great feature for this would be to add a function that allows to specify a thread prefix when created a new thread in a forum.
Another great feature for this would be to clone existing forms.

[Gleedo]

This product looks good, but i havent installed it yet.

When someone submits a form, what happens to the data? Does it get pm'd to some one or does a thread get created from it or something?

Just wondering if we could use this for our clan applications or something like that?

Thanks for your work banana - we are having fun with your Tournaments mod :)

* new pm to user.

[digitalhype]

When a form has a boolean question that is compulsory, it doesn't allow you to select "No" as an option. If you select "No" it returns: This question is compulsory.

[SageStone]

What have you got in the form?

1. Title of Change
(Single Line Text Field)
2. Category
(Dropdown Select)
3. Purpose
(Multi-line text field)

I get the same as above when i view my form, but the form does display and did submit correctly and created a new thread as expected for me.

My form consisted of 3 single line fields, a check box field(s), and one multi-line field - all fields were mandatory.

HTH

PS This is a very fine mod - great work banana

I hope you can figure this problem out because I need this hack sooo bad.
I will nominate you for sure!

yah my form displays too just fine. Its the coding at the top that shows that bothers me.

[Brittany]

sorry im posting so much but the form works just fine. It gets submitted to me
via pm and everything. its just that coding at the top that needs to be fixed.

[Gleedo]

I think it would be nice if you could add admin links for this into the 'quick links' drop down menu :)

[blind-eddie]

Can you add an editor to this? So members can add images if need be.

Finally found it, I was looking in the wrong place

[columbusgeek]

It woudl be handy for me if it was possible for the user who is submitting the form to be able to select which forum it goes to via a dropdown or checkbox. Is this possible, or in the works?

[ssslippy]

Also you should have a note someone on the submit form page that anything with a star is required.

Also is it possible to parse bbcode in the description section.

Also a confirmation on the delete option would be good.

Another thing is the * should follow the : in the question.

Also is it possible to get attachment support?

[Brittany]

working great now. Thank you!!!

Suggestion: be able to set which response would become the title of the thread.

Ex: I have a "Suggestion Title" box for people to self-title their suggestions. I would like the information in this box to become the title of the thread.

is it possible to generate a Threadtitle from one ore more answers so that every thread can easily be found later on?

Very nice forum constructor. Tested at my debug site.

Could you consider some extentions?
Optional preg_match (or ereg) rule for single line text. Very useful to check email, birthday format and so on, prior to send.
Customizable groups permissions for each form. For example, if user have no enougth privilegies, hi sould not disturb tech stuff with some questions.
Custom error message (for each form), if user have no permissions to access it. Sometime, links to form is publik, but user don't understand why he is not allowed to use form.
Extention to (2). Some form (for example, for advertisers), should be also available without any registration. Just with additional contact fields. To simplify process for regustered users, we can define "redirect rule to simplified form" in form parameters, if user is logged in.
Option to (4) - request default captcha for guests, if necessary.
It would be nice to have option to send form to email. (new post / new thread / pm to user / email to user). Some feedback questions can be confidential, and it's not a goot idea to keep such info at forum.
Add link to forms list in product settings. A bit annoying to remember URL :)

You don't need to create categories just type the category for the form. All the forms with the same category name with be grouped together

Question 14 is radio button with 2 choices A and B and no matter what I chosse the title only displays 1 or 2 instead of A or B...

Its working for my form with dropdown in the form displaying in title. Try importing attached product file.

[Bl4ckfly]

Thanks, its working now ;) Great job. :up::up::up:

[siveriano]

use {username} in thread pm title

woot woot:D

Attached is beta version of Easy Forms with polls

[SageStone]

I think it would be nice to have permission-based forms. For example, I would be able to have staff members see a "Staff Request" form, while members could not see it, based on group ids.

how can i see the new very interesting function "with polls"

[bananalive]

how can i see the new very interesting function "with polls"

Its part of this example form (http://www.bananalive.co.cc/misc.php?do=editform&fid=2) which outputs a thread like this (http://www.bananalive.co.cc/showthread.php?t=49)

To add it to your own form enter some poll options in Edit Form and that will enable poll

Very nice forum constructor. Tested at my debug site.

Could you consider some extentions?
Optional preg_match (or ereg) rule for single line text. Very useful to check email, birthday format and so on, prior to send.
Added in v1.7
Customizable groups permissions for each form. For example, if user have no enougth privilegies, hi sould not disturb tech stuff with some questions.Added in v1.7
Custom error message (for each form), if user have no permissions to access it. Sometime, links to form is publik, but user don't understand why he is not allowed to use form.I think an appropriate title would cover this, i.e. Suggestion form for public.
Extention to (2). Some form (for example, for advertisers), should be also available without any registration. Just with additional contact fields. To simplify process for regustered users, we can define "redirect rule to simplified form" in form parameters, if user is logged in.User permissions per question might be going over the top.
Option to (4) - request default captcha for guests, if necessary.I'm not sure if vBulletin captcha is easily accessible via modifications. If it is I'll add it.
It would be nice to have option to send form to email. (new post / new thread / pm to user / email to user). Some feedback questions can be confidential, and it's not a goot idea to keep such info at forum.I'll add this soon.
Add link to forms list in product settings. A bit annoying to remember URL :)
Added.

[Gleedo]

Could a link to the forms be added in the 'quick links' drop down menu (if you have permission to see the forms)?

[Forum Lover]

Now, If I go for upgrade, the forms I created, will be there? I dont wanna loose forms that I created already. sound a stupid question eh.. :p

Working Great Banana!!!

[Nzo]

Very nice hack Bananalive ! :)

- Is it possible to have "Username of User to PM" get from the answer of one of the question.

ie : It would be interesting to have : Username of User to PM : {q_1} (in edit form)
Where {q_1} is the answer, for example, of a drop down menu with some valid usernames.

[Vitaly]

hi, bananalive, i hope, you've got my preliminary respects :)

Tested 1.7.

1. It would be nice to replace groups selection with multibox, at least in mod settings. Product code looks like this:

<options><settinggroup name="general" displayorder="30"><setting varname="usergroupsexample" displayorder="10"><datatype>free</datatype>
<optioncode>usergroup:5</optioncode>
</setting>
</settinggroup>
</options>
Blank selection can meen "All groups" or "No Groups", depending on setting type. I don't know, if it's possible to use the same selection interface in form editor, but that would be very user-friendly - less time & less mistakes during setup.

2. It would be nice to have template editor for each form. For example, if standard template doesn't saticfy custom needs.

I don't think, that complicated editor is necessary, just a simple text area, where one can enter any bbcode & marcoses with variable names and values. If none entered - then standard one is used.

(*) Please, list available macroses in product description.

3. About custom error messages and additional contact fields for the guests. I think, in my case, that's essention feature for user-friendly forms. But i don't insist. Anyway, nobody prevent me to add necessary modifications, when your product will be stable, without frequent changes. Of cause, will send you all changes to consider.

I apologise, that can't help with coding right now, because all my efforts are spent to my own mods, which will be available soon. But if additional donations can help, that's not a problem. Your product is one of "everybody must have".

[ssslippy]

So is it possible to be able to allow attachments?

[cygy2k]

Question - does it allow you to setup a form where a usergroup has access to submit it (i.e. to a new post in a thread) but have it submit into a forum they don't have usergroup access to (i.e. a mod-only forum)?

Also - amazing mod, this is quickly going to be one of my favorites.

That is very very useful - never seen it before. Two questions though: is it compatible with v3.6 and how can I use the array it outputs?

Its possible to do it on 'edit form' via custom query to do it quite easily - I'll add that soon.

No ideas about 3.6.

Output of that multiselection box (when you store settings in ACP) is a serialised array with selected groups IDs. Unserialise variable and enjoy :)

:5 (in example) = number of lines in box (if groups count is more, then scrolled)

Pardon my ignorance, but what are macroses?{username}, {q_1}, ...

That's my bad english :) .

Is there any way to customize the Post Submit message?

Right now, after the form is submitted, a message comes up with a link to the thread where the data is posted.

That thread has restricted access so I would rather change the message to say something else.

Thanks.

The * and : are linked together. So if the question is not mandatory it removes the :. Also note that when you put a ? proper grammar says you should not have a : after it. I would totally remove the : and the person creating the form can add it.

Also I tried using the regular expression ^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$ which i use to restrict on user names of people who register on my forum. This only allows normal english and numbers.

I get this error

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in [path]/misc.php(97) : eval()'d code on line 596

I'd noticed that as well and have already changed it for the next release.

If you wish to remove the ':' from the questions:Find and remove in the product file this line:
$formbit['question'] = $formbit['question'] . ":";
$formbit['question'] = $formbit['question'] . ":";

There was one line prohibiting guests posting new thread which I've replaced now and will be in the next release. In the next release will also be human verification option to reduce spam.

[bananalive]

Has anyone tested this on vb 3.8? I'll upgrade to it today/ tomorrow, hopefully it will work.

[bananalive]

Here's pre-release v1.8 - should all be working

Note: You will need to select the usergroups allowed to view/edit forms

v1.8
- Forumid/threadid/username can be specified by input via {value=X} in dropdown, single line input or radio buttons
- Human verification question
- Multiple dropdown select for form usergroup permissions (still optional - leave blank to not use)
- Option to show link to form list in navbar and quick links (separate options)
- Form can be emailed

[Gleedo]

Hi Banana, Just installed this new pre-release and noticed that when your configure EasyForms in the vBulletin options - there is an option that I think should not be there lol:

Option = Auto insert link to tournaments in navbar?

I think that must have accidentaly made it in by mistake from the tournaments mod :p

EDIT: Also just noticed that on a 3.7.3 PL1 system, the quick links option is not displaying like it does on my 3.7.4 system. Although on my 3.7.4 system, i do have the tournaments mod installed, but not on my 3.7.3.

Yes i copied the code from tournaments mod to save re-typing it out and forgot to rename that bit. Fixed in attached file.

Also if the question ends with a '?' then the form will not add a ':' on the end of it.

I would post the line here but a lot of the code has changed in v1.8

You can download v1.8 here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=92028&d=1231441185) - I don't think anything major will be added (if anything at all) before I release it properly in the first post of the thread

Just checked and it works fine on vbulletin v3.7.5 with tournament mod installed and both display. also tested it with tournament mod disabled and the links still displayed.

hi, I currently use the 'Form Hack' and am curious as to if this might be a better solution...

I'm trying to set a Mod up for Reviews and Guides that are submitted to my site...

Is there a way that once they fill out the form, the form is posted - in a different format? For example some fields they fill out, will not show - and some fields they fill out, will show in different spots on the form (after accepted)

Example here Left 4 Dead Review (http://thesocialrev.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1896)

You see 'Title of Review' - is different then the title of post - can the 'Title of review' = thread title?

---

I'm also curious as to how to set this up, so the form itself once accepted - posts onto a Custom page created.

Like this example: Example of Custom Page (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/review/944199.html)

And once inside the page that has the reviews, the review(form) itself, could be made to look like this: Example of Submitted Review (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/review/R130427.html)

I'm going to be adding a form output layout field soon where you can customise the layout of the form's output.

Example here Left 4 Dead Review (http://thesocialrev.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1896)

You see 'Title of Review' - is different then the title of post - can the 'Title of review' = thread title?
You can specify a different title of thread according to one of the fields or custom input.

You'd have to edit the plugin and add a new form action - to do that would require php knowledge

i did in the VB options

not in the form permmisions

when i try to change to groups allowed in the form options i get an SQL error

well i found the solution

i completly removed the mod
and then installed the newest version ( not the one you gave me here )
instead of upgrading as before
and it works , and guests see the form

thanks a lot bananalive

Hey banana, what stage are you at with putting the form to look differently after accepted/sent in?

That's a big thing I need and i dont wanna customize the other hackk I have, or this - would a donation help get it up there? PM if interested

I've not had a change to install this yet but I had a little question.

The thing I like about Form Hack is that I can apply logic to the resulting thread. I can use IF statements and perform logic on the inputs to generate the output of the thread and title. Is this easy to do with Easy Forms or is variable substitution as good as it gets for now? I'm not super clear from just reading the thread and looking at the pictures if it is possible or easy to apply some more advanced logic.

I'm thinking of adding hook locations for custom php code.
