Easy Forms - Create a form or multiple forms without php or html knowledge

[bananalive]

Awsome mod, worked great for my internal site. I do have one question if anyone has the answer, I am trying to format the Thread to be
Question: Answer
Question: Answer

I can get it to work in the preview page, however when it posts, it puts the answers under the question. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advanced.

Check your Form BBcode

Specifically check Question BBcode: for a \r\n at the end of the line

Also check the Answer BBcode: for bbcode which forces new line eg. [INDENT]

[bananalive]

Hi,

Thanks for the mod. Working fine on my board.

However, there is something "wrong" when using the vb_editor. The Image button is not shown. And, it's not only on my board, if I look at one of your attachement, this button is not shown too.

Is it possible for you to do something for reinstating it ?

Thanks for your help.

I'll have to look into this

Edit:

vBulletin Options -> BB Code Settings -> Allow [IMG] Code in Non Forum Specific Areas -> Yes

[bananalive]

Any hints on the 'Manage Attatchment' issue? The form works great, but when a registered user tries to use manage attachments (on the form ONLY), it gives the old access denied message. My test user is a 'Registered User', and that group has global attachment upload access.

Doe the usergroup need upload access for a specific forum, too? If so, which?

It seems as if the only way the 'Manage Uploads' works from the Form is if the user is a member of either 'Administrators' or 'Super Moderators'.

Check their permissions for the forum where the form is posting.

Edit: Try attached file

[Derekclarke]

Anyone know if it's possible

Can this be modified to accept either BBcode or HTML in the Questions?

I wish to add a rules agreement in with a link to the rules...

If anyone can help ASAP it would be most Appreciated.

Thanks
Derek

[bananalive]

You can use BB Code in questions.

[Elenna]

Wonderful mod, thanks ever so much!

Is it possible to have it PM the member after the form has been submitted? Some of our forms require additional steps, and we know that the applicant won't make note of them from the "thank you" page!

Either way, you made my life soooo much easier! Thank you!

[Martyh]

Awesome !

Couple questions can't find the answer to ?

1.) Is it possible to redirect them to the thread that was just created ?

2.) This might be a dumb one but besides the admin panel where there is a link to the form list in the "Usergroups Allowed to View Form Lists" area I can't figure out where the form list or the forms actually exists , what is the link to it ?

3.) I see you accept donations but how do I ? I don't see a PayPal button, forgive my inexperience with this stuff,

Thanks.

[Elenna]

Martyh,

Yes, there is a great how-to write-up on the developer's web site, here:
http://www.bananalive.co.cc/showthread.php?t=119

That post explains how to redirect them to the post they made.


To manage your forms, go to your_url_here/misc.php?do=forms
If you gave yourself permissions, you should be able to add, edit, and delete new forms. That is also the link that your users should go to, to see the available forms (if you want to set it up that way). Optionally, you can send them the link to each form individually

To donate, look for the box on the right of the first post (with the mod description). There should be a link there for "Support Developer". Clicking that will take you to a quick form to donate!

Check their permissions for the forum where the form is posting.

Edit: Try attached file


Users still cannot upload pictures unless they are staff members (even using the file in the above post)

[Burgy]

What shell I say. A very neat and professional work, which will help non-internet-experienced Users to publish structured data with more ease.

Thanks a lot

Hi ,

Can the following happen with what we have so far ?

1.) New user shows up and sees the form but is not able to see the forum by backing up the address. Right now I can't get the two to work together, it seems the view form permission is the same as the view forum permission. I may be wrong and just haven't been able to decipher the settings I'm looking for. Please advise.

2.) Fills out the form or starts to.

3.) Gets prompted to register before they can submit the form which starts a new thread.
( popup register form maybe or a popup link )

4.) Registers and is then returned to the form where they can submit it.

5.) Submits form and is directed to the new thread still not being able to see the rest of the forum.

Basically, I only want new users to be able to post the form to a new thread and then limit their activity on the site to that single thread.

Is any of this possible ?

[luggz]

I love this mod but is there any way to set it for unregistered users (guest) to fill it out kinda like useing it as a clan member application? Also how to you rename it?

Thanks alot.

After submitting an app i get this error:

error at top of page:

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in [path]/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code on line 2276

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in [path]/includes/functions_newpost.php on line 394

[Martyh]

I got that error also I think it just means that one of the fields doesn't have enough characters in it, I think 10 was the minimum. I'm a novice at this though but give it a try.

[luggz]

Nope i got it its the forum ID that you need to enter example 32 12 etc etc you can find that in the admin panel under forums at the top. this all works great thanks again:) still would like to know how to get guest fo be able to use this and rename it.

Unregistered users/ guests can use it you allow them permission to view forms.

What is it you are trying to rename?

i get repetitive answers like for example i have just installed it now, and when some one fills the complete form the answers goes to a post (all ok with it) but the answer of the last question multiply itself and it does not give the right answer since it will be the same for all questions.... what can i do? thanks.

2) can I create the form on the vBulletin and then paste the code onto a seperate web page on the website?

Are you saying that, for each question you have, the answers are being shown twice when the person submits the form?


If you have customized the Form Output or the Question/Answer/Section/Form BBCode (in Advanced Options), you may have put in code that displays one of the questions or answers?


PS - can you copy and paste in an example of what the problem is?

Form can Submit to:
new thread in forum
new post in thread
new pm to user
email address
save to database
This is looking very interesting, it may save me a heap of work.

A couple of quick questions about how a form can be submitted.

Save to database.
- Does this save into the vB database or a custom database?

- If it saves to the vB database, does it save the form data in a custom table based on the form fields, or does it save into the normal thread posts table?

- Can you have multiple behaviors on form submission.
By that I mean, can it save to a database and also start a new thread?

(Sorry if these have been answered elsewhere, had a quick look but didn't see them)

It saves it in a specific (non- default) table in the vb database.

One form can have multiple actions.

It saves to database like a post as a formatted result, viewable afterward on separate page

Hi,

Not sure if this is something you can answer since it also relates to another mod BUT...

I have been using your mod in conjunction with FB connect with much success. In FB connect when a user starts a new thread, it is posted on their FB Wall.

Before upgrading your mod, when a user filled out a form that I created with your mod and it was submitted to a forum as a new thread, it was posted on the user's FB wall as FB connect saw it as a new thread. After upgrading, for some reason now when the user fills out the form I created with your mod, FB connect no longer sees it as a new thread hence it does not get posted to the user's FB wall.

I know that FB connect works properly as when I create a regular new thread it posts on the user's FB wall.

Could you offer any help with this...thanks in advance.

Have you enabled (removed comment signs around) the hook 'newthread_post_complete' in plugins for easy forms?

From:
/*($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete ')) ? eval($hook) : false;*/
To:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete ')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Is there any way to combine the register form to a form so they can then fill out the form hit submit and it starts a thread and registers them in one step ?

We have a problem:

when we modified a form with support from your help-site

if ($qo[6] <> "")
{
$formoutput = preg_replace('/(\[(.*?)\])/is', '', $formoutput);
vbmail($qo[6], $threadtitle, $formoutput);
}

$qo[6] = Single Line Text Field for the user email

to send the result of the form to the user, it will delete all BBCode in the email and in the new thread.

But why?

to send the result of the form to the user, it will delete all BBCode in the email and in the new thread.

But why?

The php function vbmail does not support bbcode.

The alternative to removing it is to convert it into plain text:

Replace:
$formoutput = preg_replace('/(\[(.*?)\])/is', '', $formoutput);
vbmail($qo[6], $threadtitle, $formoutput);
With:
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode_alt.php');
$plaintext_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser_PlainText($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
$plainformoutput = $plaintext_parser->parse($formoutput);
vbmail($qo[6], $threadtitle, $plainformoutput);

Is it possible to make a default value for Dropdown Selects or radio buttons?
so when a user is shown several options like the following:

option1
option2
option3

without them doing anything "option1" will be selected by default?

Maybe giving us the option to put a character next to the text so that the system can see it is a default value, like:

*option1
option2
option3

The form will know that option1 is the default value.
I know that we can make questions compulsory, but I would prefer some kind of default value, maybe a text box where we can type in a default value if the above idea doesn't appeal to you..

I would like to create a form, allowing advertisers to submit their link, and banner and advert to us for consideration.

Also can we integrate our own images and "prefilled" text areas within the form, with say our link details in.. and perhaps images for the advertiser to use on their own site...

Hi,

Is it possible to have information from another form on another page to be sent to your form?

Basically , if I have a HTML form within a page made with Logician's web templates and I want that information ( just one field really ) to be carried over to your form on submit can that happen ?

Or even better would be to have your form within one of Logician's web templates , any chance of that happening ?

I've had no experience with Logician's templates but you can submit information to the form using method="get" and sending to a url like:

<form name="form" action="misc.php?do=form&fid=3" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

yourforum.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=3&user=bob

And then you could use form hooks or hidden fields to get variable.

Call the question 'Human Verification', it will use captcha, etc depending on your forum settings.

Hi BA,

I have the option of "Edit Form" in the drop down menu. But there is no button (Go, Enter Etc) for me to click on to enter the next stage that you mention in post #828.

I upgraded to the V3.4 (even though it says 3.3 when I did so).

Would you also be kind enough as to tell me if and how it is possible, that the form can be accessed while a member presses the reply button. (Just on that forum).

[Welshy2008]

I know the following is obtainable by manually entering the following BB Code - But is it possible to have the BB Code already there as there are very few member how know what it is, let alone use it.

* Remone the {} and replace with [].

Hi BA,

I have the option of "Edit Form" in the drop down menu. But there is no button (Go, Enter Etc) for me to click on to enter the next stage that you mention in post #828.

I upgraded to the V3.4 (even though it says 3.3 when I did so).

Would you also be kind enough as to tell me if and how it is possible, that the form can be accessed while a member presses the reply button. (Just on that forum).

It should re-direct on click one of the options? Which browser are you using? Is javascript enabled in your browser?

that's just typo.

Create plugin newreply_start

if (in_array($foruminfo[forumid], array(1,2,3)))
{
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ;
}
Change 1,2,3 for appropriate forumids.

[bananalive]

Possible to put a drop-down in where they can select which forum it gets sent to ?

Thanks

You could create custom question and then use the following in the form hook before submit:

$form[forumid] = $q[1];

replacing 1 with appropriate question hash

[Martyh]

I've had no experience with Logician's templates but you can submit information to the form using method="get" and sending to a url like:

<form name="form" action="misc.php?do=form&fid=3" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

yourforum.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=3&user=bob

And then you could use form hooks or hidden fields to get variable.

Thanks again BananaLive,

Could you give me some information regarding the step above or point me somewhere that I can figure out / look up how to do that. I didn't have much luck getting it done as a paid request. I can make the form but getting it to your form is my challenge.

Change user to field name
Change 3 to the correct form id
<form name="form" action="misc.php?do=form&fid=3" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

[Martyh]

Thanks,

I'll give it a try. I didn't understand the " And then you could use form hooks or hidden fields to get variable." What do I need to do there? Appreciate all and any help.

Thank You for your continued help and patience,

PS - I am using IE 7 and my java is enabled. :|

[Welshy2008]

I tried the new plugin - But it didn't work...

I tried it with "Vbulletin" as the 'Product' first - but tht didn't work either.

[mgckim]

how do we find threadid in forums?

I think I can find forum id in acp. But I don't know how to find thread id that I want to send forms to.

[Martyh]

Her's one way there may be others.

While in the admin control panel select

"Forums & Moderators"

then selct "forum management"
then under controls in the middle hit "go" on one of the listed forums.

The forum ID is at the top of the page in that header.

" Help Forum: Main Category (id: 1)"

[Welshy2008]

You can also find the threadid by actually clicking on the thread that you want - you will see the thread address in the address bar at the top of your screen.

The numbers AFTER the '?t=' in that address and BEFORE the '&page=' is the actual forumid.

IE: in the case of this forum, you will see:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201097&page=57

The numbers in Bold are your threadid.

How do I get parameter from url of form posted in custom output? (must have parameter)

1. Form Hook: Form Start

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'param', TYPE_UINT);
if (empty($hiddenfield1))
{
$errormessage = "Error, this form needs a parameter.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}
2. Form Hook: Before Submit
$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_UINT);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput);
3. Use {param} in custom output.

Afternoon BA,

That didn't work either. :(

Any ideas as to what else I could do Please?

Have you any further ideas also, on how I can get in to "Edit" my form for the \r\n too please?


It does not automatically redirect me when I select "Edit" from the drop down menu. :eek:



Thanks.

[TimberFloorAu]

For forms creating new threads you can allow attachments.

But can we not allow an upload within the form itself ?

[bananalive]

But can we not allow an upload within the form itself ?

I don't understand. By checking 'Allow attachments' the user gets a manage attachments button at the bottom of the form for uploading attachments.

It should do, I tested it on my own forum, are you changing the forumid in the array?

I'll release v3.4 soon which have that issue fixed.

[jaffaman]

Okey Dokey, I figured out the \r\n part and added it into the answers box.

Could you please tell me what you added as i am not sure what to do.

Thanks in advance............Paul

You have mail BA. :D


Thanks. :)

[Nadavy]

It's a bit silly. In the settings it asks for a comma seperated list of usergroups who can view it, but instead it offers a drop down list. That makes it hard to select usergroups that are not next to each other.

Also when I use a form, at the top it says
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/sitenameremoved/public_html/forums/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(2574) : eval()'d code on line 1"

And about the previous post... if it says usergroup ID, it shouldn't offer a list.

[Hornstar]

This is incredible, I can't believe I just found this now.

(if javascript is disabled then save the form and the option will appear)

You can only use the vbeditor once per form. This is limited by vbulletin not me. The alternative is to use textboxes

Mate, ok but this harks back a couple of pages on here , when I asked a question.. which could be why we cannot get this to function 100%

We cannot define a THREAD, because we use VBSEO.

We want to define specific threads and forum ids, but VBSEO rewrites the output of these.

Now, is it just a case, of turn vbseo of, grab the actual thread id and forum id. Such as

f= 23
t=97630

Turn VBSEO back on, then place into the form elements, the F and T values ?

If thats the case, we have tried that, and it doesnt parse the thread id correctly, but does post the form result into the correct forum id.

[Billspaintball]

Been playing round with this for the last couple of weeks.
Its does a lot but theres a couple of things that I need thar are missing.

1 - Data submitted to the database.
Any plans on adding an editing feature for this?

2 - The entire data is entered into one field (output) in the database :eek:
Any plans on having each form field entered as seperate field in the DB table?
eg Output1, Output2,Output3,Output4,Output5 etc

I'll prob not add editing feature, but i might add option to somehow store data individually.

[Kiint]

I've just installed v3.4 and created a test forum with 2 vbeditors,

I opened the form and typed 2 different test comments in each and clicked on preview. When the preview page was displayed both fields had the same content.
I got the same results when submitting the page, the contents of the 2nd vbeditor were copied into the 1st.

So something isn't working quite right yet...

I can hack together an edit function.
On that point are we allowed to modify your code to add features such as this?

[Bea\/is]

How to set as the answer:
Q: Result of the form will be submited as new tread to forum (for example id =1,2,5,6); A: forum's name (drop down menu)
Q: With what forum prefix (for these forums to which will be placed result); A: prefixes (drop down menu)

I guess that it is necessary to create Custom Question with a db query :rolleyes:

[bananalive]

(only one answer for user!)

As the form does not store who has used the form, this is not possible.

[ReadOrDie]

For such a simple mod this one is awfully confusing. I installed it and couldn't figure out. How do I select more usergroups? The options aren't clearly defined at all and I can't select more than one usergroup. Why can't I edit forms via AdminCP? Why can't I create forms via AdminCP? The usergroup settings are probably the most confusing of all Vbulletin mods I've seen in the 4 years I've been using this forum software. The hack goes through VBoptions and the settings are not only limited but poorly worded. For anyone looking to remember the good old days of the Vbulletin Quiz hack, this modification is NOT for you. Shame...

[Michigan Morels]

I see this is your 1st post in this mod thread ReadOrDie.
I also see you've been a member at vborg for quite awhile.

So by now you ought to know not to jump in and go slammin a coder without a fair trial. LOL

I, above all, understand frustration. I have to be the dumbest person on this site, when it comes to understanding this stuff. In fact I don't understand it at all. If it works, I use it. If it don't I ask for help from the person who crafted the Mod. If they are one of the many poor ones who never come back to support there mods, then I dump it and get on with life.

But the support in this particular mod is the best I've seen in any mod I've tried. He answers so quick it's amazing! And he ignores no one.

So if you are having a bit of trouble fiquring things out...

Try reading all 60 pages of this thread several times like I did. And also remember to read the "HELP FILE" posted at the top too along with documentation included in the zip file.

It's hard to come up with a question that hasn't already been answered somewhere. But even when people don't read everything, this guy has the patience to repeat his answers again and again.

And if you don't find your answer? Try asking.
That always seems to work here! :up:
____________________________
Sorry for sounding rude, or like a know it all. I'm not.
It's just that this is the best supported hack I've run accross and your post struck a nerve tonight. :) Sorry for ranting.

[Storyteller69]

How do I select more usergroups? The options aren't clearly defined at all and I can't select more than one usergroup.You use vBadvanced on your site so where is your problem? The selection there is for many options the same as for the usergroups in this modification. Simply click and hold the CTRL-Key and click on the desired usergroups with the left mouse button. Save it and it's done.

That it isn't running on the ACP, is one of the great features! So different users/usergroups can simply work on building a form. Without having access to the ACP. ;)
If you don't like it because it isn't what your're looking for search for another one but don't defame this great modification without cause. Just my 2cents.

Storyteller

[amjadz4]

I agree...its not very user-friendly...in fact not at all user friendly! I think the admin should do some major changes to make it as simple as MachForms. :D

[Welshy2008]

In defence of the coder, Guys.

His help is absolutely Great.

;)

** Edit **

Patient and very helpful. The only one that I have come across on vB.org.

[Welshy2008]

Is it possible to add a password? Like before a form is view a password is required? Or before its submitted a password is required? Is this possible?

What I have done is set it so that every form submitted has to be 'Moderated'. Once I have viewed it and approved it - Only then, does it go 'Live'.

Hey, great mod! :)

Is there a way for me when the email is sent out to include there the username of the member who used the form?

[amjadz4]

Hey, great mod! :)

Is there a way for me when the email is sent out to include there the username of the member who used the form?
just add a field for named "username" so the user who is typing will enter his username. :)

[Elenna]

Hey, great mod! :)

Is there a way for me when the email is sent out to include there the username of the member who used the form?

You can include {username} in the form if you'd like (perhaps in the title?).

If you'd rather their username appear as the answer to a question, do this:

Create a new question, selecting "Custom" for the type. Name it "Username".

In the code field, enter in:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . '" style="background:silver;" />';Then their username is sent in like it is the answer to a question in the form, and they cannot change it.

Hi BananaLive,

( Or anyone that can help.)

When I submit the form below ( your example ) to a HTML page , it directs me to a page of smileys located here

http://localhost/forum/misc.php?user=bob

It seems to cut off the "do=form&fid=1" part but does add the "user=bob" part"
I'm kinda stuck on that one.

.
<form name="form" action="http://localhost/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>



Another question on this one.

How do I get parameter from url of form posted in custom output? (must have parameter)

1. Form Hook: Form Start

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'param', TYPE_UINT);
if (empty($hiddenfield1))
{
$errormessage = "Error, this form needs a parameter.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}
2. Form Hook: Before Submit
$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_UINT);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput);

3. Use {param} in custom output.

Do I need to change anything in these codes to be able to use the form on the top of the page ?

When you say "use {param} in custom output" I really don't know what that means could someone explain that in a little more detail please ? . Sorry for my inexperience I am willing to pay/donate (to you or to your favorite charity), to anyone who can help me out with this.

Thanks,

Custom output enables you to design your own layout using the parts of the form.
$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_NOHTML);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput);
The alternative would be to use this code: (it justs adds the field like another question at the end of the form output)
$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Username" . $form[pstq];
$formoutput .= $form['prea'] . $hiddenfield1 . $form[psta];

[Martyh]

Thanks again BananaLive,

Let me make sure I'm not wasting your time here, I should do this ?

1.) Use the HTML code on my HTML template

2.) Use the first php code in my hook form start

3.) Use the second php code in my custom output window.

4.) OR use the last php code in place of the third one if I just want to add the field to the end of a form

Please correct where I may be wrong in this sequence.

Thanks

Yes apart from 3. The custom output is the bbcode/text which is how you want the form's post/email/etc. to look like.

3.) Use the second php code in Form Hook: Before Submit and then do a custom output

$formoutput .= $form['prea'] . $hiddenfield1 . $form[psta];

Thanks

It is also not giving any form to write answers? I chose CUSTOM and then typed the question but
I can see the question ... :( but no place to write the answer

[bananalive]

Hi,


When I use these two together it works , was that the instruction ? Separately they don't work.



Thanks

They do different things so you need them both in the Form Hook: Before Submit:
$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_NOHTML);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput);
$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Username:" . $form[pstq];
$formoutput .= $form['prea'] . $hiddenfield1 . $form[psta];

[bananalive]

Have a look at the help file

If you use custom, you should use something like:
$answer = "html code for question here";

[bananalive]

I'm looking through the help file for information on the save to database function but don't see anything. Anyone have any tips on what this does and how it works?

It will save the form result in a separate database like a post which can be accessed by those able to edit forms.

Sometimes developers attach a version to a post (sort of like a beta) to make sure it fixes someone's specific problem before releasing it as an "official" update.

You can see the requirements in the first post, as well as in the mod information.

This is tagged for vBulletin v 3.8 (and it is int he 3.8 Modifications section of this site), but the text in his first post says:

Backwards compatible with vb v3.7.x and 3.6.8

[Uegnet]

Thanks! Great plug!

Suggestion:
I kinda need one form to be accessible for only the group "facebook-reg.users", and one which both "facebook-reg.users" AND "reg.user" can access.
Also it would be nice if I could put a "force read/submit (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=172155&highlight=force+read)" on a form, and that it is accessible only 1 time per. user.

This way I can force Facebook-users to submit a "backup"password to the database (a small issue with the Facebook Connect (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203064&highlight=facebook) plug), no? :)

I'm not sure if it would pose any security risks or anything, but maybe export yuor form and paste the text from the XML file here, if bananalive wanted to import your form and take a look? Not trying to commit him to anything, just a suggestion. :)

Just installed and started to play around with that mod.
It shows great potential, good work indeed.

I do have a couple of questions:
- Is it me or there is no way to prevent a user to submit twice the same form?
- If I want to limit access to the forms result, I must use post in thread and not in db, right?

One suggestion for future release:
In the settings panel, where you select who can view/edit forms, it would be nice to be able to define the groups to exclude. This way when you add a new user group, you don't need to update the settings of EasyForms.
Also, who can create a new form should be separated from who can fill it. The admin could be the only one able to create a new form, while all registered members could fill and submit it.

Thanks for that mod.

[Nadavy]

Hello,
is it possible to use this in conjunction with Edit New Thread Button (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102923&highlight=Edit+New+Thread+Button) to specify the forum in which the new thread will be created?

I currently use it so that my classifieds forums use the Form to Thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=126676) hack.
It works ok but this is a more elegant solution.
Could I call this hack with a query string like I currently do with the Form Hack and pass the forum ID along to create the new thread in the specified forum?
E.g. newthread.php?do=classified&f=198 runs the classified template passing the forum id as 198.

Great Mod, thanks very much!

I'm trying to put together a "For Sale" template to get some consistency on selling threads, and just realised I'm missing an important component (I think).

Is there any way to request an image please?

This is what I've come up with so far for my forms' output, as a matter of interest - (constructive criticism and suggestions welcomed :) ) - if i could end up with an image on each item line I would be a happy chappie..

Hi,

Would you have an idea of how to prevent users from submiting the form more than once?

For letting users fill a form but not view the others, here is my work around in case someone is interested:
- All registered users can create/fill a form
- I give registered users the direct link to fill the form (not the form listing)
- I do a post to forum and I make this forum readable only to admin
- I adust the post confirmation message and navbar to make it opaque to registered users

The finished applications are not being created as a thread. If I fill out the application as an admin it works fine but if I log in as a regular user and fill out the application it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Can you help?

I don't think its possible to force attachments to post or to limit attachment extensions.

If there is a modification which allows attachment extensions permission per forum, then that could be workaround.

Bananalive, could you tell me how to integrate your Canned Replies in to Easy Forms?
More precisely, when using Easy Forms the final thing on the form is the VBulletin editor, when using the vb editor, quick reply or PM on my site i have the ability to use a canned reply, is there a way to make this available (to those that have permission to use it) in the form specifically for the vb editor?

[Stryker412]

I'll look into it

Any luck?

[nascartr]

I apologize if this has been addressed already but let me explain my next question.

We have a Pick One NASCAR game and each member can pick one driver per race for points. They cannot pick the same driver more than once. What I was wondering is if there was a way that this form system can remember what a member picked and not show that option the next time they use the form on a per member basis?

[ktoronto123]

This is a great mod!

Two questions

1) When emailing the form results, is it possible to replace the "FROM" as from the submitter's own email address?

2) Is it possible to submit the same form to more than one email address? I.e. I have check boxes of three possible email recipients in the form, the user can select A and B to receive the form output, and then the form will email it to them. I'm thinking this requires a preform submission PHP but I don't know how to gain access to the variables.

[buurman]

No pressure, but do you see this releasing any time soon?

Call the question 'Human Verification', it will use captcha, etc depending on your forum settings.

Permissions:
Either vbulletin options or use form permissions in advanced options of edit form.

Hi,

Thank you for this great product, but I am having some trouble.

After I install it, I go to the easy form options but none of it allows me to edit it. By default, all of the user groups are able to view the forms, but when I go to the forms list, i get a permission denied page even though I am a full admin.

Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks in advance.

[Zarxrax]

I tried to set up my forms so that when someone submits a form it goes into a specific forum as a new thread. Then the user who has submitted forms should be able to see their forms there, but not anyone elses.

I think I have this set up correctly, but some of the threads are showing up as "moderated". I'm not sure what this means, and whether it is related to easy forms, or if it's caused by vbulletin?

You need to set usergroup permissions by going: admincp -> vboptions -> Easy Form Options

The highlighted/ selected usergroups are those that can view/edit forms (depending on the option you are editing.)

This is a great mod!

Two questions

1) When emailing the form results, is it possible to replace the "FROM" as from the submitter's own email address?

2) Is it possible to submit the same form to more than one email address? I.e. I have check boxes of three possible email recipients in the form, the user can select A and B to receive the form output, and then the form will email it to them. I'm thinking this requires a preform submission PHP but I don't know how to gain access to the variables.
Form Hook: Before Submit
$form['email'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['email'];

Yes to email to multiple emails addresses separate emails using ;

Form Hook: Before Submit
$form['email'] = str_replace(", ", ";", $qo[45]);
45 being the question id

I apologize if this has been addressed already but let me explain my next question.

We have a Pick One NASCAR game and each member can pick one driver per race for points. They cannot pick the same driver more than once. What I was wondering is if there was a way that this form system can remember what a member picked and not show that option the next time they use the form on a per member basis?

No, I'm not sure how it could work
