Also can we please have the help files made available once more?

Thanks

[the_bolo]

Uninstalled

[godtfred]

Awesome, one of best mods out there, thanks a bunch !!!

[sburns1992]

I am setting up a simple form but I need to have the answer in the PM to be the actual answer. Because when a user selects a radio button or a dropdown it just shows the answer as a number and not the answer, I am using a custom template.
Cheers

[Andyrew]

If you want posts to go to moderation queue $newpost['visible'] should be 0. If you don't then $newpost['visible'] should be 1.

Where do I find this setting, or does this need to be entered in to the Form Hook: Before Submit: ??

[metalguy639]

After I upgraded a forum from 3.6 to 3.8 this mod stopped making it where if a member clicked on the "new post" or New thread" button in the forums that the forms are in they are getting a normal newpost sheet to fill out instead of the forms. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm running vb 3.8.5 and I upgraded to the more recent 3.7 version of this hack. I have saved my forms before starting this so I have backups already as well.

[Daisyboo]

Installed and working great, one problem - in the nav bar where it says 'forms' if I click on that I get the list of the forms but also a box which says - Upload the XML file for the form from your computer and then a box to upload.
This isn't normal is it?

[Daisyboo]

Never mind I removed it and made a new link.

[metalguy639]

Fixed my above issue but now I have a different one, seems the developer has bailed :( now my moderated posts are not showing as moderated. They are being posted anyways even though I want my forms moderated, any fix for this?

[wmlvb]

I have box check for forms to show up in quick links but it is not there. It seems it was there before about 1 month ago when I used them. I do I get the link to show up? Thanks

[wmlvb]

Ok fixed the error with no seeing form. NOw I get error message when try to view results: Error, this form does not have any results stored in the database.



Where do I find the results? PLease help

[gettingbetter]

This mod is SO awesome. Flawless, totally user-intuitive, hasn't had a hitch yet. Bravo to the developer(s).

Does this work with vb 4.0?

[ImNotKibs]

I'm not really into the idea of sifting through 100+ pages of comments, was it ever discussed how to have the thread/post/PM results be posted as anonymous/a specific user, for privacy?

[DontWannaName]

Is it possible to move users to a different usergroup or change their forum title when they submit a form? I cant seem to find if it was ever done in the thread.

[Welshy2008]

Hello BA,

I am currently using this Mod to create a post within a specified thread (with present fields for our members to answer - IE: Name, Address etc).

There is a field on there that I would like my members to answer, if applicable. And if they have filled that field out and is applicable to them, I would like for that field to display "To be Confirmed" - or words to that effect - Once, I have checked the details, I would like the details in that field to be displayed.

Is the highlighted part; above, possible please? Is so, how would I go about doing it, Please, BA?

Many Thanks,

Welshy.

[loucfer]

Hi,

After several months using it :up: , I'm having my first problem with EasyForms. The group permissions doesn't seem to apply to exclusion group overrides so banned users can see the forms allowed to his primary group (registered users) while they should see ONLY the banned user complain form :D

How can I do that? :confused:

Regards!

[Elenna]

Good evening!

I have a MySQL query run once a week to update some profile fields for my members. Part of the query is to keep a "log" of where the numbers in the profile fields are coming from, in case someone questions those.

I would like to know if there is a way, using the Before Submit Hook, to have it run a MySQL query and then send the results via a PM?

I have all of the MySQL queries, but I am not sure how to use the PHP variables (i.e. $out for the PM output) in the EasyForms output box.

Any ideas? :D

This works great...

I can't believe I haven't installed this till now..
it solves a ton of outstanding projects I haven't had time to get too..

Only issue so far is when I add new fields to a form,
it adds the field.. but it doesn't redirect me back to the form..
Even the "click here" link doesn't work..

I have to use my back button..

Any thoughts?

Hi, Ive just updated this script to latest and every time i try to acess misc.php?do=forms it takes me to the smiliey page, any ideas? (Other info just ask)

EDIT: Updated to the latest version in this topic: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234385 all aspects working now.

[cmmguy]

I use this mod to manage user want ad creation, it helps to keep the format standardized and cleaner.

My forms create new threads in a forum that is closed for editing.

This mod works great except for the following two items.
I cannot get the form to close the thread.
-I am using the latest version
-I use the hook $closed = true; in the Form Hook: Before Submit: but the threads still come out unClosed.

I cannot get the form to put the thread into moderation.
The forum is set to put all threads into moderation but the forum posts the threads approved. I thought this was caused by my status as an adminstrator so I tested it with my "test User" and the same thing happens. How do I get the form to stop over-riding the forum default of Moderation.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I have the latest version of this mod but have very little other mods and mine works fine regarding all aspects of editing and using the forms(except for my post above). Maybe you have something else installed that is making this not work like a skin? have you tried unistalling and reinstalling - sorry that is not very helpful but it is all I have.

I am using this form, to be sent to me as an e-mail.

Could I add a field to it where I can allow the sender to add an inage or file that will be e-mailed to me as well please? (as an attachment?).

Both in 3.8.X and 4.0.X please.

Also, I have just PM'd you. :)

Hello BA,

I am using the custom Form Output for the questions and answers that are submitted as posts.

What is the code, please - to show Multiple tick box selections as "Bullet points" on a seperate line of their own, please?

Speaking of tick boxes - On the selection form, is it possible to add a "Select all" and deselect all box too, please?

Many Thanks.

PS. I will add the same question to your vB4 thread as I need the same thing(s) for that one too. Thank You.

[xcesivvs]

I am using a "(Dropdown Select)" box and the results are being posted as numbers not the actual answer of the in that field.

how would i change this to show the field details instead of the number.

Thanks

[Digma]

I love this modification. It was just what we were looking for as we wanted to tidy up a few forums by using a 'set format'. Together with the mod for changing new thread links, this works like a charm (on 3.7.3).

Thanks a lot for this.

[Shanj]

I am working my way through 50 pages of posts about this marvellous mod!

I am hoping it is possible to post to
- existing threads not create new thread? I think this is OK from my reading.

- to submit post to not one but multiple destinations?
that is send a post to not one forum but a list of them, and add the duplicate posts to existing threads in those forums.
The list of forums and the threads to be pre-loaded.

[Lookus]

How do I change the text for this plugin in the navbar, I want to change it from "Forms" to "Staff Applications"

[Sir Jake]

Hello there, I'm trying to setup this so it can have a prefix such as "New" if someone fills out an application to join us.
I've looked at a lot of posts on here and never found what I was looking for.

I've noticed someone say it's in there if you edit the form yet I don't see it.
I'm running the latest beta of this 3.7
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

[markb5900]

Can someone help with the output?
I want the form to output to a new thread (which it does now) but want it to basically be in two columns instead of one.
I have messed with it for hours now and just can't get it right.
Do I need "custom output" code, or can it be done in the "boxes"?

Thanks

My head hurts!!

[zushiba]

So far as I know the table BBCode you can use in the CMS is not available in the forum yet. (http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-9588) I'm sure there's some custom bbcode you could create to accomplish this though.


EDIT: http://i.imgur.com/qWAi8.png see, possible.

[markb5900]

I have been working with the custom output for HOURS now and still can't get it to do what I want.

Does anyone know a way to put a space's between things.

What I want it to look like is:

Question 1 ........................................Question 2 "," would be blank spaces
Answer 1 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Answer 2

What it looks like now:
Question 1 Question 2
Answer 1 Answer 2

I can't get it to put say 40 spaces between question 1 and 2 etc..

vBulletin removes multiple spaces between words.

Two solutions that i can think of:

1. try using [table] bbcode
2. Use ___ to space out question 2 but make them the same text colour as the post background, see below

I am THIS close now.
I am posting the form results to a new thread.
On that thread, it puts the form title left justified at the top as part of the post.
I would like to control it's position and font etc..
Where would I go so it does not automatically put it there (know how to use formtitle now in custom code) or if it "has" to put it there, where can I control how it looks.

Thanks again for all the help. What a great mod!!!!

When I use that, I basically get two "form titles" then. (see attached)
On the upper left, it is there all the time, no matter what I do. That is the one I would like to get rid of.
In the center is when I add the code to the form top output.

I need help:
I want to create a form that is submitted after a user create a thread, similar to a poll. Well it will be a poll but with a combobox, not a sigle selection. I want diferents question and a combobox, that the users have to select all of them. It will be to calificate the thread.

How i can do this?

[Zarxrax]

When users submit a form and it creates a thread, is there any way I can take some of the data that they have entered and output it at the bottom of the post?
I want to format some of their answers in such a way that I can copy and paste it all at once.

Is there's a way too somehow choose in which thread the post will be posted?

[Simon Lloyd]

Is there's a way too somehow choose in which thread the post will be posted?When creating a new form you will see this option:
Post in ThreadPost in Thread when clicking the checkbox, click elsewhere and then the following and textbox for thread id should appear:
Threadid where Post is Created:

[Nook_Neformat]

i mean, i need an option to choose from the form in wich one thread the post will be going.

so it can be posted to any thread from form, not just to one

[Simon Lloyd]

The Author would have to custom that for you as there isn't that option to send it to whichever thread the user of the form chooses, unless you can use stuff like you can in the title like this:
Check the checkbox for which thread to post to and then put {q_1} so question one on your form would be a textbox for a thread id, this is only a guess, give it a go, if not you'll have to wait for the author to answer :)

[Nook_Neformat]

i tried, it doesn't work(

How can i insert my Forum Prefix`s in this Mod and a field for Images ??

[hossenpheffer]

Thanks much to Simon Lloyd. That clarification was just what I needed!

[TROLL]

I have what is probably a very simple question for anyone with PHP experience... (which I unfortunately do not).

In the Form Hook: Form Start: field, I currently have the following code which requires users to have a post count of at least 30 to use the form:


if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30)
{
$errormessage = "You need 30 posts to use this form.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}


I would like to add a second requirement here, which also requires users to have joined at least 30 days ago in order to use the form.
I found the following code, but am not sure how to properly add it to what I have currently:


$vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30)


Again, I am looking to require that users have at least 30 posts AND have joined at least 30 days ago in order to use the form.

Thanks in advance for the help!

[HMBeaty]

Try this
if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
$errormessage = "You need 30 posts to use this form.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}

[TROLL]

Thank you sir! That appears to work with some basic testing. Very much appreciated.

For the record, this is the final code I used, changing the error message to be more approprate:


if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
$errormessage = "You do not have permission to create a thread in the Personal Marketplace because you need a post count of at least 30 and to have been a member for at least 30 days to create a thread here.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');

To shorten that up, I believe you could also use something like this:

{
standard_error(fetch_error('YOUR_ERROR_PHRASE'));

And go to Add New Phrase > Error Phrase > input your varname, text, etc. and change YOUR_ERROR_PHRASE to the varname you defined

Hi, how can i chose the ID of the thread maker for a submitted form? it seems it's always choosing the admin and posting a thread, just so happens I'm the admin who posted a test and it looked ok, but i wanted my forum bot to make the post, i inserted the bot ID and yet although it takes that information it just appends a a comma and my admin ID in the edit section, how can i get past this?

[twista46]

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
$errormessage = "You do not have permission to create a thread in the Personal Marketplace because you need a post count of at least 30 and to have been a member for at least 30 days to create a thread here.";

[twista46]

No Idea??

[hossenpheffer]

I'm using the first three fields of a form to use as the new thread title. It's critical that the new title display all capital letters. Can some one explain the best way to force uppercase/caps for a given set of questions or field?

Using the 'description' to request the user input only caps is often ignored.

[hossenpheffer]

I've been using the mod New Thread Notification for quite a while, but the instant email alerts have stopped sending with the installation and activation of Easy Forms in the forums that use a form to start a new thread.

I've tried adjusting the execution order around with both of them to no avail. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks in advance for any ideas or solutions.

[Simon Lloyd]

maybe one of them is rewriting the hook thats used

[hossenpheffer]

I expect you're right, or by-passing one? Reviewing the plugin hooks, they don't appear to have any shared hook locations.

In your quick links drop down, click Forms. It should be at the bottom.
Once you get to the form page the link to create new forms is dead center of page.

Hello,
I found I am having an issue with some users being able to post even though they do not have both requirements: at least 30 posts and have been a member for 30 days. After reviewing the code, it appears that it is currently presented as:
"If you have less than 30 posts AND have been a member for less than 30 days, you receive an error message."
What I would like it to be is:
"If you have less than 30 posts OR have been a member for less than 30 days, you receive an error message."

This will require that users meet both a minimum post requirement and join date requirement, not that they only have to meet one or the other. To accomplish this, can I simply change the "AND" to "OR" in my current code, copied below?

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
$errormessage = "You do not have permission to create a thread in the Personal Marketplace because you need a post count of at least 30 and to have been a member for at least 30 days to create a thread here.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');

I know thread prefix support is already available, but i dont want the form to be locked to one prefix, i want users to be able to choose the prefix. How could i do this?

[CoffeeLovesYou]

How do you allow users to edit their submission without letting them see and edit everyone's submission?

[1F42]

Read up to page 50 so far ..still reading but not found any one with the same query/mod.

I would like it to post as a new thread in my mgc chatbox notification window as it use to do when I used the standard thread in that forum now im using the form there by default it does not show.

I'm guessing I need to change the code in Newthread_form_complete in the mgc chatbox product to look for forms created as well?

I think it just looks for this at the moment
$vbulletin->db->query_write

Can some one help or at least tell me if i'm on the right track.

Great mod by the way, and amazing support I have seen reading this far, off to read some more because I'll learn more :)

Update read every page and although I see the same old questions being raised, mine never has been it a new question! shame it took me to long to find this mod and it's not supported any more! Ill try posting in the new version.

Is there a way to add a search function to the Form Results Table?

[hpidriver]

Is there a way to add a search function to the Form Results Table?
I believe in the latest version of this there is a search button when you view the Form Results Table

You could use custom question for this:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $q["$formbit[id]"], true);
$answer = '<select name="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">';
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';
$answer .= $prefix_options;
$answer .= '</select>';
I am using this custom question code, and it shows me the correct choices of prefixes when filling out a form.
However, when I click submit, Easy Forms does not recognize that any prefix was chosen. ie. if the custom coded prefix question is made "compulsory" it always throws the error of : "The form did not submit as the following questions are unanswered: "

Anyone have the prefix option for posting to a new thread working? on vb3.8.6

[nascartr]

This requires Easy Forms v3.3

Add this into postbit template somewhere (or postbit_legacy)
<a href="misc.php?do=form&fid=2&username=$post[username]">Trade with $post[username]</a>Import attached file.

form Hook: Form start

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'username', TYPE_NOHTML);
if (empty($hiddenfield1))
{
$errormessage = "Error, this form needs a username.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
} form Hook: Before Submit

$hiddenfield1 = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'hiddenfield1', TYPE_NOHTML);
$formoutput = str_replace('{param}', "$hiddenfield1", $formoutput); Then you can use {param} in custom output.

if you don't want to use custom output then add a custom question with php code:
$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $hiddenfield1 . '" />';

I'm using this one my site but when a member tries to create the form with a username that contains opening characters such as the username #93forever they get an error...

"Error, this form needs a username."


Any idea how to fix this so that the system recognizes characters?

[SilverBoy]

I just installed this great product, and I have a Q, How I can add a forum drop-down list as an answer for multi-choice drop-down type? I just want it to know the favorites forums to my users.

[blind-eddie]

When adding new question select "Dropdown Select"....:p

[SilverBoy]

Thanks blind-eddie but how I can get the forums list automatically?

[SilverBoy]

As I said before I want to make multi selection from that drop-down list.

[blind-eddie]

You mean a drop down with dropdowns at each forum name to show sub-forums and to be added automatically?
I can't see that happening with this modification.
You would have to add each forum name you want added to the drop down selection.

If you want multiple dropdowns within that drop down you will have to hard code it to get that to work.

Good Luck....

[SilverBoy]

Yes I mean that and I know it is not built in in the hack :)
BTW I'm looking for a way to add drop-down list with multi-selection not only one selection at time.

Thanks in advance.

[SilverBoy]

I have some user groups in my forum that all posts of them goes to moderation queue, so how I can make threads created by forms goes to moderation queue if the user behind one of that user groups??? (the are primary groups and some user effected by some groups because of infraction system).

[SilverBoy]

I have a big problem.

I have one form (for survey purpose) saved to database, and I have until now more than 2000 participation, every thing was OK, but after the number of participations growth to more than 1400 I get problem with display results (even poll result and table), the page continuing loading to long time and thin display (page not found error).

How I can divide the results to multi-pages to display them?

Please help, it is an urgent case.

[SilverBoy]

no body can help in this?

[Simon Lloyd]

Which version do you have installed?

[SilverBoy]

3.7

Thanks for reply

[SilverBoy]

What is the problem with show poll results !!

Why it didn't work if the number of forms submitted over 1000?

[vBMerkezi]

thank you

[nlwin]

Hey buddy, this is definitely a great add-on, and I have installed it on my vb3, one of the large boards. All Admins and Mods love this add-on. Would you be considering to add reCaptcha option to your plugin in the future release for vb3 series?

Thanks again for your great contribution.

[viper357]

Hi bananalive, Does this work seamlessly with your Articles mod?

[pattycake]

Wow! Helpfile :) . Product seems to become solid :) .

May be, question _content_ macro ? That's not absilutely necessary, but convenient: no needs to duplicate text in template, and no needs to syncronise template when you clarify question text.

Example:

----------
Question1text: {q_1}
Question2text: {q_1}
----------

Will be:
----------
{qn_1}: {q1}
{qn_2}: {q2}
----------

No ideas about macro name. Just an example.

None of this works....
If you put {q_1} in the email body, it gets changed to $[q_1] and does not show the answer to question 1. Ditto for {q1} - shows nothing when the email gets sent.

{qn_1} in the email body does nothing, displays nothing when the email gets sent.

[pattycake]

$q[1] is the new format for v3.x

Use $qo[1] for drop down menu

$qn[8] to show question 1 eg. Age
$q[8] $qo[8] to show question 1 answer eg. 45

And make sure you are using the # of the question eg. 8 not 2(see screenshot)
I can't for the life of me figure out how to output the question and the answer in the custom email output for a radio button.
I have tried:
{qn_1}
{q1}
{qo_1}
$qo[1]
$qo[1]
{qo1}
$q[1] {a_1}

None of this works.

Never mind. I figured it out. I was using {q_1} becuase it was the first question in that particular form.
It was question #16 though of ALL questions of ALL forms.
Once I changed the "{q_1}" to "{q_16}", everything worked.

I'm using Easy Forms 3.7 on a 3.8.5 VB install. I've had Easy Forms running for a while ands it's been great, but my forms were/are very basic.

The form(s) create a new thread in a forum when they are submitted. At the moment I ask people to fill in their Username, path to their public profile and even do some simple maths (like field 3 = Field 1 - Field2)

Is there a way I can get Easy Forms to populate some of those fields/questions for me instead of asking the User to fill it in ? I imagine {userrname} and something like [URL="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$user_userid"] for the username and public transport, but I can't work out how I can make the form return these values and add it to the post created by the form submission.

Is there a simple way to do it that I can't see, or is it going to require some PHP coding ?

[Simon Lloyd]

For the username to be entered put this in the php code box for the answer$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . '" />';

[singabaloo]

Thanks, that worked nicely.

I managed to pull gender out too following your example.

Time to try the profile URL.

Thanks again.

[singabaloo]

I keep being impressed by Easy Forms. Thanks bananalive and Simon for the pointer on pulling DB fields out. I even took a leap of faith and found I could get more complicated results. here's my current effort for grabbing the Gender but displaying just for the first letter.


$tgen = $vbulletin->userinfo[field6];
if ($tgen=='Male') {$gen = 'M';
}
elseif ($tgen=='Female') {$gen = 'F';
}
else {$gen = '';}
$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $gen . '" />';

I'm sure someone could cut that down to 1 line but I'm not fussed.

One question I have is the custom layout. What this particular form does is grab information from a user that an admin will use to add to a table we have on the site. It's a bit manual at the moment but if I could some how format the output like this:

[ url={q_2}]{q_1}[ /url]|{q_3}|{q_4}|{q_5}|{q_6}|{q_7}|[ URL={q_8}]Diary [/URL]

then everyone's life would become a lot easier.

Actually, what would be perfect is to use the default layout and then tack the above example at the bottom so the admin just needs to copy and then paste and it's all done.

I can't find any examples of custom templates that I can start to hack away with so if anyone knows how to do the above, or could point me to some examples, that would be great.

[singabaloo]

Is there any way I can get the "Form Output Top" to include some of the form answers ?

I can get {formtitle} which is a fixed value for each form. Ideally I want to be able to have the form output to parse the values of {q_1}:{q_2}

[asabet]

Is there any way to prevent users from submitting a form more than once per X hours? I am using it to allow people to submit listings in a classifieds forum.

Previously the members just created regular threads in that forum, and I used this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96848) to prevent them from posting more than one listing per 8 hours. However, that mod seems to have no effect when the threads are auto created by submitting a form.

This is the code used by my current max posts mod:

if ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
$ugroupids = $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids'], "," .

$vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids']);
$fids = $forumid . iif($foruminfo['parentlist'], "," . $foruminfo['parentlist']);
$result1 = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumpermission
WHERE ( forumid IN($fids) AND usergroupid IN ($ugroupids)) AND
(maxthread=0 AND perhour=0)");

if (empty($result1))
$result = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumpermission
WHERE forumid IN($fids) AND usergroupid IN ($ugroupids)
ORDER BY forumid DESC, maxthread DESC");

if ($result)
{
$maxtime = TIMENOW - ($result['perhour'] * 3600);
$sql = $db->query_first("SELECT count(*) as totalthread FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE dateline >=

$maxtime
AND forumid IN($fids)
AND postuserid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . " ");
if ($sql['totalthread'] >= $result['maxthread'])
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('no_new_thread_per mission', $result[maxthread], $result[perhour])));
}
}

I want to limit all users to a max of 1 form submission per 8 hours in forum # 17. Is there a modified version of the above code I could put in the Form Hook: Form Start: field to have it work?

[bulbasnore]

I know this is old, but I have questions.
I am running 3.8.4.
I have an extra unused vbulletin lic & am throwing up an ibproarcade site for my son/extended family & their friends without really using forums exept for automaticaly sending game reports to new thread, with no posting allowed. Its in the beginning stages with default games only, I have thousands of games still to load & a many site edits to make to have it the way I want.

================================================== ======

Do you know of (or can you add) a way to view the forms without forum header and footer? (ideally add an option with the definition of each form to use a given vB style)
Im trying to use the forms inside an iframe on page outside of the main forums, and this page already has its own separate header/footer,

Thanks!

Find in Plugin: Easy Forms Part 1:
eval('$html = "' . fetch_template('form_view') . '";');

{
$navbits = construct_navbits(array(

I have the report game form showing in a popup with your edits above, but I loose all site colors.
What would I need to do too get the site colors to show on form popup?

Note: Site colors are lost on all forms even normal forms not in a popup.

================================================== ============
thanks bananalive!

Any idea how to achieve this per form (some forms are specifically for a site outside of the forums and other are for the forums themselves)

PS: currently using a conditional in the header, footer and navbar templates to remove them globally for misc.php.

How does this work on a per form basis?

Thank you

[jorge_kai]

best mod ever!

[TheKdd]

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this sit on the "Thank you for filling out the form" page longer before redirect? It goes so fast that people can't read what I wrote. I could turn redirect off, but then it just has a button that takes them back to the form.

Or... could I change the address of the button so when they click it, it takes them elsewhere?

[brad heffernan]

If people are having problems installing this open the product-easyforms v3.6.xml

search for
TYPE= MYISAM

replace with
ENGINE= MYISAM

The keyword TYPE is removed since MySQL 5.1, use ENGINE

Is there any way to dynamically set the Forum ID where thread is posted?

[NomNomNom]

Hi,

I'm sure this is possible, but I'm having trouble with it. Can EasyForm be setup so that a user can see the results of their submissions, but not see anybody elses responses? I permissioned it as I thoght appropriate, and the use gets a 'view your results' link, but when clicked, they get a 'do not have permission' page. The other way I configured it allowed them to view *all* results. Is it possible to do this for just their results?

Many thanks, and good work on a great plugin.

Yet? it does already allow them :)

Is this still being developed? Some of us like to keep running vb3.8 since vb4 kinda sucks so...

One feature I really need is the ability to re-order the "Dropdown Select" option fields and add new ones where I want. Currently if I want to add a new one I have to completely change the fields with copy/paste which is ridiculous and takes ages. Could you add a feature to re-order them quickly and add new options in any location?

Thank you for that great post Alfa1! That helped big time!

So some questions:

We use this modification on our site: Auto-Capitalize First Letter of Each Word In Thread Title (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=168831)

So it seems to get it to work you need to add something to the form's
"Form Hook: Before Submit:" field. Right now I have this in there:

if ($qo[16] == "NFL General Discussion")
{
$form[forumid] = 108;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Arizona Cardinals")
{
$form[forumid] = 330;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Atlanta Falcons")
{
$form[forumid] = 306;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Baltimore Ravens")
{
$form[forumid] = 313;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Buffalo Bills")
{
$form[forumid] = 310;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Carolina Panthers")
{
$form[forumid] = 327;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Chicago Bears")
{
$form[forumid] = 323;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Cincinnati Bengals")
{
$form[forumid] = 312;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Cleveland Browns")
{
$form[forumid] = 311;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Dallas Cowboys")
{
$form[forumid] = 321;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Detroit Lions")
{
$form[forumid] = 324;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Denver Broncos")
{
$form[forumid] = 303;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Green Bay Packers")
{
$form[forumid] = 305;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Houston Texans")
{
$form[forumid] = 315;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Indianapolis Colts")
{
$form[forumid] = 314;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Jacksonville Jaguars")
{
$form[forumid] = 316;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Kansas City Chiefs")
{
$form[forumid] = 318;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Miami Dolphins")
{
$form[forumid] = 308;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Minnesota Vikings")
{
$form[forumid] = 325;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "New England Patriots")
{
$form[forumid] = 300;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "New Orleans Saints")
{
$form[forumid] = 326;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "New York Giants")
{
$form[forumid] = 304;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "New York Jets")
{
$form[forumid] = 309;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Oakland Raiders")
{
$form[forumid] = 317;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Philadelphia Eagles")
{
$form[forumid] = 322;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Pittsburgh Steelers")
{
$form[forumid] = 301;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "San Diego Chargers")
{
$form[forumid] = 319;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "San Francisco 49ers")
{
$form[forumid] = 307;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Seattle Seahawks")
{
$form[forumid] = 331;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "St. Louis Rams")
{
$form[forumid] = 329;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Tampa Bay Buccaneers")
{
$form[forumid] = 328;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Tennessee Titans")
{
$form[forumid] = 302;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "Washington Redskins")
{
$form[forumid] = 320;
}
elseif ($qo[16] == "NFL Draft Discussion")
{
$form[forumid] = 208;
} so people can send the form in the right forum. What would I add to have the modification work?

Now, on our site we use a custom tag modification that lists some preset tags to insert. We use this modification: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=159646. We now use the template edit in the new thread template, replacing the default tag form. How can I A) include the tags in a new form and B) have different tags for different forms?

Also, just a thought....but can a moderator or the mod author add the FAQ to the first post, so people don't have to search 110 pages before they find this major piece of information?

[SBlueman]

$vbulletin->GPC['subject'] = ucwords($vbulletin->GPC['subject']);

This is the code for the Auto-Caps. Is this as simple as pasting that line of code to the
Form Hook: Before Submit: field? And if so, what would the correct setup be to work with this existing code:

if ($qo[16] == "NFL General Discussion")
{
$form[forumid] = 108;

elseif ($qo[16] == "Arizona Cardinals")
{

For those that are still using this on their 3.8 board and are using VB image Hosting (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123481&page=96&highlight=image+Hosting)
, were you able to add the code to the form editor, if so, would you mind sharing the "how to" with me?

EDIT: I can get the code to show in editor below smilie box as per instructions but it will not post image info in message area.

[goxy63]

I would need something like this to use as an petition on my forums
Will this work on VB4?
Also if I modify this in order that user sign in for petition, will I be able to print out somehow all data in order to take this as proof for real petition?
Bunch of details as every user birthday, id number, address and such....making things visible only for me not for public and so on...

[Jo_RHU]

Hi, I've created a basic test form with one question with 3 checkboxes for answers.

It works fine with the default settings but when I try to customise the form output by using:

$q[1]

I just get the text 'array' posted in the thread, instead of the answer. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm using vb 3.8.5 and the plugin version 3.6.

Thanks!

[Jo_RHU]

I am using this custom question code, and it shows me the correct choices of prefixes when filling out a form.

However, when I click submit, Easy Forms does not recognize that any prefix was chosen. ie. if the custom coded prefix question is made "compulsory" it always throws the error of : "The form did not submit as the following questions are unanswered: "

Anyone have the prefix option for posting to a new thread working? on vb3.8.6

I was having this same problem on 3.8.5, it showed the dropdown menu to choose the prefix but when the thread was published no prefix had been added.

It's now working using the code as below and since I upgraded the plugin to the 3.7 beta and (in the xml file) changed all instances of TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM. (I don't know if that's related to the issue but just posting here in case it helps someone else tearing their hair out like I was!) This is the code used (as has been posted previously in this thread)

In a custom question called 'prefix':

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true);
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">';
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';
$answer .= $prefix_options;
$answer .= '</select>';


and in the 'Form Hook: Before Submit:' section:

$form['prefix'] = $form['prefixid'] = $qo['15'];

*where 15 is the question # for the prefix custom question


Thank you developer, awesome plugin! (I tried to get this working years ago and struggled but I guess my vb brain has evolved since then :))

[tbworld]

Thanks for sharing! :) I do not use this modification, but it is a popular modification. I am just thanking you in case others do not.

[Jo_RHU]

For info for the developer - I just went to copy a form, it seems to have copied fine but gave me the message 'could not find the phrase 'copyform' after copying. So there could just be a small error with phrases there.

[Jo_RHU]

Edited to add: Solved! See end of post
---------------

I'm not sure if others are experiencing this issue (I've searched the thread but it's very long so hard to say) -

I've added the vbulletin editor as a question in order to allow image attachments/uploads - but the toolbar that is displayed on the form does not include the IMG bbcode button (all other editor buttons seems as normal) and the paper clip icon for attachments does nothign when clicked (checked in Firefox and IE). The forum that the form is being submitted to does allow images/attachments so I'm not sure if there's something wrong, or a setting somewhere that I've missed? Any advice would be much appreciated :)

-------------

Apologies, my bad! There is an 'allow attachments' checkbox that appears if the form is set to submit to a new thread (which luckily my form does). But still no IMG bbcode button which I really need to avoid our server being filled with images people could save elsewhere. For now I can ask people to write the bbcode by hand but if anyone can give me any tips on why this is happening or how to fix, please let me know. Thanks!

if he will help me no porblem with me do supported hem

[Simon Lloyd]

I understand there's a lnguage barrier, but "Must help" no he doesn't have to, it is his mod, he built it and gave it to the community for free and the mod is marked unsupported which means he rarely has time to work anything extra or provide a support service.

I guess you'll just have to wait to see if he has time to answer in this thread.

Open the FORUMDISPLAY template and create a backup.

Find:
<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">

Add above:
<if condition="$forumid == ??">

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>

How to prevent this?

[Budget101]

User still able to create new thread bypassing the form by doing /newthread.php?do=newthread&f=x

How to prevent this?

open newthread.php and add the following after <?php:

if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) die(' Direct Access Denied.');

so the entire line 1 should look like this:

<?php if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) die(' Direct Access Denied.');

This prevents someone from typing in a new thread, rather than using the buttons
