This looks really nice and easy to use. I've already spent way too much time getting the other product FormHack to finally work, but I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Nice work!

[ssslippy]

The vbulletin admin panel needs to be done with check boxes not a scroll list. We have around 30 usergroups and this is a huge pain to scroll through this little box.

Getting this error when creating a form

I've tried to make it as simple and easy to use as possible

[buurman]

is it possible to make an option to upload attachments in a form?

[anuanu]

Found possible error.

When i set the permissions in the "Easy Form Options" It still wont let the user groups view the form. The permission for the Form list seems to work correctly but to view the actual form doesnt.

So far only Administrators can view the form.

v1.9 (to be released) supports attachments for threads
Found possible error.

First check your usergroup permissions in Easy Form Options then check the usergroup permissions for the particular form.

[bananalive]

Here's Pre-Release v1.9

[anuanu]

Sweet that fixed the problem. But now i found 1 more.

1. When i choose "Field using vb editor" It shows up just fine, however for example:

q_1(vbeditor) answer1
q_2(vbeditor) answer2

outputs this:

q_1(vbeditor) answer2
q_2(vbeditor) answer2

How would i go about using the vbeditor twice?

You can only use the vbeditor once per page - this is limited by vBulletin not me. I don't think a way around it has been found.

[Dax IX]

I think this is going to come in handy for several of my sites. :)

I do have a question, tho...I'm trying to add a template conditional to the Forms link in the Navbar, but for some reason nothing I do is working...

It's most likely me because I'm so new at actually writing any code, but if you could let me know how to get template conditionals to work, I'd be very grateful. :)

[SnowBot]

We need a link to

http://www.socialspace.co.uk/forum/misc.php?do=forms

adding somewhere :0

Also when making a new form, when hitting "submit" nothing happens, the page just refreshes. It does do the action but no redirect to the forms page.

[metalguy639]

What is the code for "Custom Form Output" what is the standard code like something to go by so i can copy it and then make it to what I want it to be? Having it there is great but you did not give any instructions on how to use it or what the varibles are called or codes we need to have in the template.

[tylneyt]

Fantastic Mod!
Thanks!

[dfe]

Absolutely brilliant product!

Is there any future possibility of adding SAVE TO DATABASE option as well as post to a thread?

What conditional did you want to use? To use the usergroups permission you will need to unserialize() the vboption and then use in_array()

You can add the link to the forms list manually or using easy forms options to add it to navbar or quick links.

It should redirect to editing the form, once it has been created.

I'm creating a help file, attached which should help you. The default code goes through each option and depending on the question type creates the form answer.

Possibly, there could be a possible issue if the form changed and then the old data might be corrupted.

[Vitaly]

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.

I'll add {qn_*} in v2.0

[buurman]

Awesome work, really like the way to make the forms, way easyer than the old one I had..

Tank you.

I tryed the 1.9 pre-release, and thanks for the attachment addon.
To bad the added attachments are not posted with the rest of the form, so it doesnt work yet.

But thanks, hope you will be able to make this functional soon...

Thx!

Thanks for the Mod. I have just installed the mod but does not see how to set the permissions. I have gone to VBOptions Easy Forms, a List of all the default Usergroups are already added and cannot add or remove any of them from:
Usergroups Allowed to View Form Lists
Usergroups Allowed to View Forms
Usergroups Allowed to Edit Forms

When i click on Form List it tells me that I do not have permission even as the administrator

Thanks

On the list of groups you have to select them by clicking on the group name. To choose more than one group use your ctl key :)

[yotsume]

I will have to try this out. There is another mod that is is similar that has a paid for pro version but has many bugs. I am looking forward to trying this out...

Thank you for responding. :)

Let's just say that I'm a beginner at PHP...um...how would I do this? :o

I was trying to edit the link plugin, but no matter what I did, it either took the link away for all, or left it there for all.

I'm sorry to bother you...I'm just pretty confused right now. :o

Thanks!

LOVE your mod, BTW! :)

ok.. group problem on edit / create form

I give right to supermod but he have the supermod in additional group not general. But he cant create the form. But if I put his general group is supermod, he can create or edit form now.

And about "create form" links.. can u hide it only for "allowed group" ?

hope you can fix this.

Thanks.

[lowey]

Excellent product, thank you! :)

One minor issue though: how can I remove the formatting from the formoutput? Can't find it in the templates.

Thanks! :)

Edit: Alright, I found and "fixed" it in the product. Thanks anyway! :D

Awesome Mod - Much easier then the other one.

Very importnat before we install.

Does this allow us to upload an image and save all this data to the database
so we can call it up in other parts of the site?

You can create forms with option to upload attachments. Form data can be saved in new thread, post in thread, email or pm.

Usergroup permissions are based on primary usergroup. However, I've changed this now (permissions will check primary & secondary usergroups) and it will be included in the next release.
And about "create form" links.. can u hide it only for "allowed group" ?

hope you can fix this.

Thanks.
Yep, i'll add that in next version.

[bananalive]

please tell me how or where you found it
It's in plugin: Easy Forms

You'll be looking for anything which looks like this
$formoutput .= "" . ($q_{$formbit[id]} ? " " . $q_{$formbit[id]} . " " : "-") . "\r\n";

p.s. all changes made to plugins are lost upon upgrading/ importing the product.

[lazyseller]

Kudos on this mod its alot better than when i first installed it.

How do i remove my form title from the thread? I only want the questions.

My suggestion for the next release is to add a action called "redirect to thread" and redirect to "post". The thank you message is annoying reminds me of phpbb

I also tried the custom macros layout but some of my answers are not displaying for some odd reason.

What question type are they?

[Budget101]

How can I make the Submitted Form Title be the First Question listed in the form:

For example, if the Form is called Big Zoo.
The first question is: Enter Animal Name.
Answer Submitted: Monkey

When the form is submitted, I want the Submitted Answer (in this example, Monkey) to show in the subject line of the thread that posts, rather than having 50 posts with the same subject, "Big Zoo".

TIA!

I tried using {q_1} - but that returned the following error message:

Please complete both the subject and message fields

Even with ALL fields completed.

[ssslippy]

Version 3.8 I get that error when hitting preview. If I hit submit the forms go through but the attachment does not appear. Also note I am using file attachment storage not db storage of attachments. Also I am using xcache not sure if that effects attachments though.

To Change Questions ColourOpen plugin: Easy Forms

Find and change this line with bbcode:
$formoutput .= "" . $formbit['question'] . "\r\n";Maybe change to
$formoutput .= "" . $formbit['question'] . "\r\n";To change the Answer Colour
Open plugin: Easy Forms

Look for and change lines LIKE this with bbcode:
$formoutput .= "[i]" . ($q_{$formbit[id]} ? " " . $q_{$formbit[id]} . " " : "-") . "\r\n";

- Fixed missing <tr> tabs around Create new form
- Usergroup permissions changed to allow permissions through secondary usergroups
- Change bbcode for questions and answers easily in plugin

Thanks for the update m8 :) where do you edit the BBcode?

Plugin: Easy Forms

$preqbbcode = "";
$postqbbcode = "\r\n";

The \r\n is the syntax for a new line.

[gamerscms]

Ok cool, but there would be a problem you cant use HEX colours only the BB colours.

i need #888888 colour

any ideas.

EDIT: To much code to look for that line as there is a lot of code the same in the plugin, any chance you could add a option to change colour in the admin.

cheers

Put color tags inside the indent tag

$preqbbcode = "";
$postqbbcode = "\r\n";

use ctrl+f to search for line

Thanks a lot banana for the great support.

[gamerscms]

It does not seem to be changing the colour here is the code i have added.

$formoutput .= " " . $formbit['question'] . " \r\n"

and also getting the following error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/sites/xboxhive.co.uk/public_html/forums/admincp/plugin.php on line 528

Any ideas?

thanks

This will only change the colour of the question in the thread/ post/ pm which the form creates. To change colour of the question in the form itself you will need to add bbcode in the actual question via edit form.

Hi I need to know where I can edit the smilies on the form vb text editor part. I'm using the GTSmilies hack that puts the smiiles below the text box. i need to know how to move the smilies below the text box on this hack. Thanks

Also since installing the newer version the multi line text does not seem to work anymore. I installed the version that has the editing of the out put post. And I also have the attachment prob as well.

Yes upgrading is simply importing the product file. It won't affect/ delete your forms/ questions, but will give you new features.

The bbcode only edits the form output (ie. the pm, post or thread)

To change the look of your forms edit the templates.

It just puts the smilie box under the text box instead along the side of it. Here's the link to the mod if that helps you out. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178327 If I knew what template you used for this mod that has the exact layout of the vb editor box then I could actually fix it myself with a simple break in teh code, but I have not been able to find it anywhere.

Can you explain what you mean by multi-line text doesn't work. Attachments fixed in pre-release v2.2 *hopefully*

It was working before but now it does not work at all. I type in something to the multi line text field and it will not submit the form. It comes back and says that I have to fill out the title & subject. Its not a huge deal for me as I would rather use the vbeditor instead.

[blind-eddie]

I now have this working, after the updates. I did notice that any form I had created before each upgrade would not work. I had to delete all old forms & re-add them manually for the updates to work.

Works great now, Thanks.

[klaush]

Thanks, nice and easy to use.

One issue, the same user can fill out one form multiple times? Is that correct.

We should have an option to close an answered form for the user who filled it out correctly.

Possible?

Depends what the form is used for. I suppose a time array could be used so someone can only fill in the form once every week - I'll have think about this

I've installed this and have it all set up but when it posts its not coming out in the layout of the forum its coming out in one big paragraph.

What coding do I need to put in the Custom Form Output for it to show as the actual layout of the forum like you have it?

[gator777]

Awesome Mod! Thats all I have to say! It's Mods like this that make VBulletin so great. :)

[JermaineBelgard]

Works fine, but why do have I to approve new threads created via a form? If I fill out a form as admin, the thread is created. If I do the same as normal user, the thread has to be approved. But in the same forum which I have selected for the forms it is not necessary for mods and admins to review new threads. Every thread created in there is available in the moment it has been posted -except the form-created ones. What do I have to change to go new threads live instantly?

Thx for this great mod btw. :)

Replace with:
$newpost['visible'] = '0';

Pre-Release v2.5

- Form hook which is executed just before the post/thread/pm/email is submitted

[Brak710]

This might be me, so don't be mad if it's a dumb question...

When a user submits my form on my site, the New Thread is created, but it is put into the moderation queue.

Is this a configuration issue with my forums/usergroup (I looked pretty hard, in fact, a normal post can be done just fine, but anything from the form-poster is put in moderation) or is this a feature/bug with the Easy Forms software?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'll have a look into how that mod works. It probably requires a vbulletin hook to be included in the code.

I've upgraded and I have more options when I try to edit the forms then I do when I try to create one. I have the basic original options when creating one, but all the new ones when I edit it.

[Altered]

I'm having the same problem a few others are, whenever a form is filled out it goes into moderation queue when form is set to Post new Thread.

I have tried both version 2.4 and 2.5 with no luck and have also adjusted the

$newpost['visible'] = '1';

to

$newpost['visible'] = '0';


Any other suggestions?

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

That's deliberate - some options only apply once you have questions and most of the them are advanced options
This looks like it's a great mod, but it appears that it doesn't work all the time.

Email will have a time lag for you to receive it.

[tehtide]

First I want to say... what an awesome plugin.

now for my question...

Is it possible to pull information about the user that submits the form and display it in the thread that is created? Specifically I'm looking for their birthday, timezone etc. I took a look at the custom form output area... but couldn't see a way to add that stuff in.

thanks in advance

[bananalive]

It appears to be that way. May I ask why?

Two reasons:
You may have set your vbulletin board to queue emails before they are sent
Your email provider takes time to receive/send emailFirst I want to say... what an awesome plugin.

The quickest way at the moment is to add a custom question

For a timezone field use the following PHP code:
$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="GMT+' . $vbulletin->userinfo[timezoneoffset] . '" />';

You can preview this in the test form here (http://www.bananalive.co.cc/misc.php?do=form&fid=2)

Import attached file which contains fix to stop human verification question showing on form output.

Then add \r\n in the second bbcode box for question and section.

You'll have to manually add the link to your second navbar, and disable the one in vb easy forms options.

Where is the form posting (new thread, pm, post, email)?

[E.T.]

Wow this looks great.

Maybe you can help me with a small thing.

I've create a form and would like to mail it to an username, but I cannot find it how to choose the username...., when I'm edit the form I can fill in the email adres in the field email adres and sent it, that will work for me, but I would like to give other people access to the form and once they have fill in the question, do you realy want to sent an email to one of our users they can fill in an username or email adres.

Is it possible to create a a custom field were I can fill in an username or email adres so the form I've created will be sent to the specific user ?

Is it something like this ?

Forumid/threadid/username can be specified by input via {value=X} in dropdown, single line input or radio buttons

If so, how can I create such input ?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there! Great mod! I'm having some trouble creating a custom form output. I have no trouble getting standard 1 option button and text to appear on my form but I can't seem to figure out how to get checkbox options to output to the form (I just get Array appearing). I also can't seem to get multi-line text to output. Im guessing I just don't know the correct syntax so any help mastering this would be really appreciated!

Also while I'm here...what is the easiest way to output a section of answers on the left hand side of the resulting thread and another section on the right?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function construct_attachment_add_js() in /web/htdocs/www.mysite.com/home/forum/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code on line 3844

please test my problem and let me know

other question, i have create a form and i have add the variable q_1 for the title of the new thread with the question number one (a combo box), how can i do if i don't want create a new thread with the same name?
i want if somebody select the combo box with a option and the new thread is already created with this name receive notify that this thread exist.

[bananalive]

New thread.

Ok, i'm looking into this problem. I think it is to do with vBulletin requiring human verification for new threads for guest posts.

Edit: Found & fixed issue - guests required to complete human verification - will automatically appear if needed (required by vbulletin)

Hey there! Great mod! I'm having some trouble creating a custom form output. I have no trouble getting standard 1 option button and text to appear on my form but I can't seem to figure out how to get checkbox options to output to the form (I just get Array appearing). I also can't seem to get multi-line text to output. Im guessing I just don't know the correct syntax so any help mastering this would be really appreciated!

Also while I'm here...what is the easiest way to output a section of answers on the left hand side of the resulting thread and another section on the right?
Thanks Again
I'll look into the custom output.

Edit: fixed checkbox, multi-line text

Probably using custom form output with bbcode: [left], [right]

please test my problem and let me know

I'll test the attachment error out later on my test forum.

Edit: I can't replicate this problem.

You'll have to use the form hook, and run a query, if it already exists use $complete = false; to stop form submitting

Can it be done for guess to post the form?

[bananalive]

Can it be done for guests to post the form?
Yes download v2.6

For a form creating a new thread, guests will see human verification field yet registered users won't.

[gamerscms]

Ok all working, one issue it does not show a post in the thread or show a new post icon?

cheers

That's the same vb version as me, and I have posts set to not moderate.

[indie2industry]

I got one for you :D

Is there a way to incorporate paypal into this and make it available to UNREGISTERED USERS??

Reason I'm asking this is because later this year I'm hosting an event where people attending will have to purchase tickets (2 types) and this mod would be the PERFECT solution IMO.

And if this is possible, would it be possible to LIMIT THE INVENTORY??



I'm sorry for asking such a far out question but once I saw this, I couldn't help but to ask.

[troppodel]

I'll test the attachment error out later on my test forum.

Edit: I can't replicate this problem.

ok friend thanks but i'm not a coder can you write the query string?
other question, for me it is important that the attach is compulsory how can i do it?

Can you add for the new update the possibility to use the form based with the postcount?

thanks advance
Ivan

My bad i had Follow Forum Moderation Rules "NO".

Cheers for the help banana.

[Reycer]

I only have one problem. It won't submit to a new thread, or an existing thread. Currently I am having them PM'd to me, and that seems to work, but it's not submitting to any thread. Am I doing something wrong?

Umm... I don't think so. It would require some external communication with paypal to confirm payment, etc. The limit could be done semi-effectively using form hook and the save to database, but it would only say availability after form is submitted because thats where the hook is currently.
ok friend thanks but i'm not a coder can you write the query string?

IvanI'll write the code when i get a bit of a chance.

The attachment is integrated into vbulletin and so i don't think that it is possible.

The post-count would be easily achievable if i added a hook into beginning of form - I'll do that sometime.

[bananalive]

ok friend thanks but i'm not a coder can you write the query string?

I've added in $customerror into v2.7

To add it in yourself: find in template form_view
<if condition="$unanswered_questions"><phrase 1="$incompleteqs">$vbphrase[form_not_submitted]</phrase></if>
Add Below:
$customerror
Either: (uses $threadtitle)
$count = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS countrows FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE title='".addslashes($threadtitle)."'");
if ($count[countrows] > 0)
{
$complete = false;
$customerror = "Error, thread already exists with this title";
}
Or (uses question output - remember to replace $q_{4} with the correct question number)
$count = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS countrows FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE title='".addslashes($q_{4})."'");
if ($count[countrows] > 0)
{
$complete = false;
$customerror = "Error, thread already exists with this title";
}

Hi friend
thanks again for your support
my apologies for the question i have edited the template
but the php code i have to add on form hook in my form or not? because don't work

[valletin]

Hi,

i work in a non for profit organisation and we have around 90 clients that need to fill out a client form (large amount of information, tickboxes, etc..).

Each of the clients have their own thread within the forum.

Each client can't access other client's threads/forums and is 'locked' within their thread, within their own forms.

A sticky thread would be posted containing a large amount of client's information within each client's thread, that can be updated by the client or by the admin.

Is Easy Forms a solution to this? If not, does anyone know a solution to this?

[bananalive]

Hi friend

Put the php code in the form hook before submit, bu you'll need to replace $q_{4} with the correct question number or if it's a combination of answers use $threadtitle.

Create forum for this.

Set forum permissions of clients to not view other threads.

Set forum permissions of clients to able to edit their own posts/ threads.

Then clients can create thread within the forum using the form (or the usual way)

[Stryker412]

I have a question, if these features are already please let me know. If not, I'd like to request them.

We use our forums for applicants to join our community. Right now we have our forms after being completed go into a section of the forums where only admins can view. Can yours do this?

Same with locations for State and Country.

You could use custom question to get birthday of user from their profile.

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[birthday] . '" />';

Can't think of any easy way of easy way to do all states/ countries. But for US/Canada you could use this custom question with following php code:
$answer = '<select id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] .

$answer = str_replace($selected, $selected. "selected=\"seleceted\"", $answer);

Thanks for that information. I tested my first form and very impressed with the results. One question, how can I change the font color of the large heading within the completed form?

Does this form need the user to have permission to post within the section it's intended to go? For instance, I post my completed forms in an area where admins can discuss the applicant. However, with my current form app I have to give a regular user permission to post in the section but I did not give them permission to view the forum. It worked well until I found out that if a user has the option to subscribe to any thread they post in, they can view it.


Lastly, what is the PHP code to have their forum username automatically entered for a question?

[Haltech]

Awesome to see this come so far, rather quickly!!

Question, is there a way to embed a hyperlink into a question? With a form i created for vendors, i wanted to place the link to paid subscriptions in the question with a yes/no answer.

Thanks!

I believe you can use BBCode

[Trek]

Would it be possible to include something so you can have a calendar in the form? Clicking the calendar will then add the date/time to another text field?

Also, then when saving the form, if there's data in the calendar field, have it create a calendar event on a specific calendar?

Basically what I'm doing is creating an event calendar form, having it write to a forum, then locking that forum down to new posts, but allowing people to reply to events.

Then I want to use the RSVP hack on this forum only. Which should pretty much give me a fairly accurate event calendar.

If possible, when someone then edits the event, if it matches an entry in the forum, to update the forum post as well. This might be way too much to ask from this mod, but I thought I'd ask anyway. =)

Found a small bug.

When using the image verification option, it displays the verification correctly, but then displays the frame for the verification again under the correctly displayed verification..

I'm using ReCaptcha if that matters/helps any.

Then clients can create thread within the forum using the form (or the usual way)But where can i assign for each User where the form will be posted into into their thread? The same form has to go into different threads depending on the User.. Can i set a default threadID for each user where forms will go? Thanks for your reply in advance.

Ok, thanks anyway, a date field would be nice though and that helps! I was using the other forms product (as I finally got it to work before yours was released/I knew about it)...

I have to say, this setup is fantastic and couldn't be easier to use. Perfect install, good instructions, everything makes logical sense. Excellent job!

[zerohead]

Hi,
I have a special need, and I'm not sure if this hack does the job.

My application needs a master sheet where users can add names, dates and files.
So how do i get this done?

1. Users click on link get a form, fill it out, attach files then send it to the database
2. Users search this database and get possible matches where they can click and see the names, files associated with their search?

If this hack doesn't do it, do you know of any?

Thank you

Is there anyway to set a particular textfield to automatically parse url into a clickable link without forcing the user to write [url] tags?

Some users seem to have great difficulty in grasping the concept of adding bbcode correctly.

TIA!

I have text in my description and I put the center bbcode around it. It's centering in the left column it seems there is an issue with your colspan in your description field.

[Brak710]

No full instructions required here (unless necessary), i just need a hint where to look...

Let's say I want the hide the submit button on a form for 10 minutes so people think about and double check what they are submitting...

Where would one find the place to add a HTML/PHP script to do so. Is there some template/plugin I'm missing? I searched them all for "submit" or "preview" but I assume it's being called as a variable or something.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[imaroot]

it'll be handy for my forum will not install right now but maybe in the future

BOOKMARK though!

[setishock]

First of all I carefully read through every single post in this thread. I get the impression this software is fairly simple to use and the author is quick to be helpful and fix any problems that appear to pop up. I'm impressed so I'm going to give this a test drive at my anime forum before I submit it to my friend at my computer forum. So in light of that I have a couple of questions. Please keep in mind I am not a coder.
1st> At my anime forum I have a section to link to wiki's about anime series. It has 3 pics which when clicked on go to the thread where pics for the subject are posted. Below that is the link to the wiki page. And below that is a short description of the series. Here's an exsample > http://animeappeal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206
Is it possible to do something like that by filling out a form and just have the answers to the questions show in a new thread with the series name as the header?
2nd> Is it possible to use this to do product reviews? Like what is it? Who makes it? Model number. Then the review with maybe pros and cons added to it below that.

Same general format for both it would be safe to assume. Thanks in advance for any help. And is the version in the lead post the lastest one?

I get the impression this software is fairly simple to use and the author is quick to be helpful and fix any problems that appear to pop up. I'm impressed so I'm going to give this a test drive at my anime forum before I submit it to my friend at my computer forum. So in light of that I have a couple of questions. Please keep in mind I am not a coder.
1st> At my anime forum I have a section to link to wiki's about anime series. It has 3 pics which when clicked on go to the thread where pics for the subject are posted. Below that is the link to the wiki page. And below that is a short description of the series. Here's an example > http://animeappeal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206
Is it possible to do something like that by filling out a form and just have the answers to the questions show in a new thread with the series name as the header?
You can use the form output field in Edit Form with bbcode and macroses (http://www.bananalive.co.cc/help.html) to create the format of the post you want.

I've created a quick form here (http://www.bananalive.co.cc/misc.php?do=form&fid=10) which will post your output, example post here (http://www.bananalive.co.cc/showthread.php?p=145#post145) - I can export the form for you if you want to adapt it.
2nd> Is it possible to use this to do product reviews? Like what is it? Who makes it? Model number. Then the review with maybe pros and cons added to it below that.
I'm not sure which fields are needed for product review but you should be able to.
Same general format for both it would be safe to assume. Thanks in advance for any help. And is the version in the lead post the lastest one?

I'm just about to update the first post with the latest version - v2.7

[bananalive]

I have text in my description and I put the center bbcode around it. It's centering in the left column it seems there is an issue with your colspan in your description field.

I'd missed out the width="100%", fixed in v2.7

[Budget101]

Find in plugin: Easy Forms Part 1:
$newpost['poststarttime'] = $poststarttime;
Add after
$newpost['parseurl'] = '1';

hmmm... it didn't work, the url didn't become clickable.



Would this need to be changed as well??
Line 540 $formoutput = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($formoutput,false,true,true,true,true,fal se);

This is line 540 from the Easy Form 1

An other update, what has changed in the mod?

Request: banana could you do a version history like you have on your ladder script?

great mod and nom for this month.

Not much, it's mainly the little bugs users have found. The only feature added is the form start hook.

The version history is here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1705444&postcount=2)

I've updated the first post with the link.

[TheFocusElf]

Is this defined in the product or a template, the width of the QUESTION column and the width of the ANSWER column?

My questions seem to take up 90% of my board's fixed width, and this parses the answer fields in many cases.

Is it possible to format it like this:

Question
DescriptionAnswer #1
Answer #2

Maybe even putting the answers in their own definable table with a separate "style" or background color.

Most important for me, though is the width issue, right now this excellent mod looks like crap on my boards. And my forum's width is 950 pixels, so as for why it is so crunched up, I am unsure.

Great thanks :) update installed and working fine.

[ssslippy]

Would it be hard to implement the ability to allow certain usergroups to edit a single form?

[setishock]

Bananalive that is perfect and thank you. Yes please let me have the xml file for that.
I will mark as installed now.

Edit: I'm not having any problems with the product itself, I just don't know how to make it work like I want it to.
I haven't figured out how to make the output clean of the questions.

[Blinkbux]

Thanks! The mod has been working fine and I love it!

Find in product file or plugin: Easy Forms Part 1
$formoutput = "" . $form[title] . "\r\n\r\n";


No.


$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . '" />';

Thank you for all this, is there a way to make the username not editable?

Also which part of the Easy Forms plugin can I edit to make the answers font bigger?

[lazyseller]

Currently you have the ability to submit a reply form to a set thread id.

It would be really great if we could somehow make the thread id dynamic so the whole forum can use the same form. The form would be submitted depending where the user generates the form link from.

http://www.bananalive.co.cc/misc.php?do=form&fid=10&threadid=(dynamic)

[anuanu]

First off i want to say I love this mod. I use it as a recruitment/moderator application. I was wondering if you could add a part that would "Accept/Deny" an application and add "Accepted' or "Denied" to the thread title. And when it was "Denied" it would close the thread.

Currently what I do is make a reply saying if they were denied or accepted and close the thread.

[lazyseller]

Cant you use vbulletin prefix to achieve what your trying to do?

[bananalive]

hmmm... it didn't work, the url didn't become clickable.

It wouldn't show link in preview but it should in the thread created.

The bbcode parser is separate, this is no option to parse urls with it.

You can modify the width by editing one of the formbit templates.

For instance:

open template form_formbit_textfield

Find
<td class="smallfont" style="vertical-align: top; font-weight: bold;">$formbit[question]Replace
<td class="smallfont" style="vertical-align: top; font-weight: bold; width: 250px;">$formbit[question]Would it be hard to implement the ability to allow certain usergroups to edit a single form?
Yes I cannot think of a way to do this.

You will need to change the {q_48}, etc. with the corresponding number on the imported form. See attached screenshot

I think what you trying to achieve is beyond what the modification does. Lazyseller's idea is worth considering.

You could use 'Form Hook: Form Start':
$form['where'] = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'threadid', TYPE_UNIT);
if(!$form['where'])
{
$errormessage = "Error, no threadid specified.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}
Thank you for all this, is there a way to make the username not editable?

username shouldn't be editable, check it has the code readonly="readonly" in the question

Use 'Answer BBcode' [size=+1] or something similar

[Simon Lloyd]

This is probably a difficult one to answer, but i have put a button in my post bit that eventually will link to a form (will sort out how to do this later!), what i would like to do is post the form results to a custom bbcode tag in the original (the post that the button was clicked in) post, is that possible, or if thats not possible, is it possible to post to a forum as a new (not editable by ordinary members) thread?

Big ask i know.

[Simon Lloyd]

with this:Thread/ PM/ Email Title:
If left blank then the Thread/ PM title will be the same as the form title. You can use the following variables in the title: {username}, {userid} and {q_*}. For {q_*} replace the question id with the *, for example to show question 1's output you would use {q_1}.

can i use {q_1} - {q_2}
So that the title may look like "My Tip - Todays Tip" ?

The button link could be something like this:
<input type="button" value="Form" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.your-forum.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=4'">

If you're wanting the button to edit the thread then this modification couldn't do it. It could with a bit of tweaking reply to thread which post is in.

The alternative is possible, just make sure forum permissions are set to cannot edit posts (for ordinary members).

YesThanks for posting back so quick!, for the last part {Q...etc great as thats what i have done, and thanks for the code for button link (i'll try to work that one out), i have set up a forum to accept the form as i thought the other would be too difficult, all i need to do now is work out how to show an icon in the post that the button was clicked in perhaps with a link behind it to the form, again not your problem as your forms work great, could you explain what the new items are for? the Form Hooks? and what can i use to put in the Custom form output?, is it possible for the vbulletin editor response to appear in a custom bbcode that i have? (it's a bit like the quote bbcode only has a custom colour and pic)

The form hooks allow you to execute php code at the beginning of the form, just after it is queried (eg. for additional permissions) and just before it is submitted (eg. to submit to multiple locations or to validate some fields).

The custom form output accepts any forum bbcode you have and also macroses, for the questions and answers.

BTW, thanks for this great support!

[Simon Lloyd]

Bananlive, sorry to keep calling on your time but i created a form but it didn't create a thread title and the sections are shown right against the titles here http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/top-tips/57075-a.html i have upgraded your account at my forum to admin so you can check the edit of the form and what i may have done wrong.

Macroses is just a number for {q_45} and {qn_6}

Uses the # numbers

For Example:

1. What application is this for?
(Dropdown Select) #8

{q_8}

For the sections use \r\n for line breaks

New output: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/top-tips/57079-access-test.html

If you create a post of format you want I'll try and write the custom form output for you.

[Simon Lloyd]

Thanks for that i appreciate it, i have edited the post below, it some way towards what i want, a nice concise uniform look, easy to read.

Bananalive, fantastic support, thanks for the fix!

[alduren]

Thanks for this mod!!.

I have a question. In my form I have a field with this custom form output.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

When the answer is blank it shows code because this field is not compulsory, like this

[IMG].

If the field is blank I don?t want to show BBcode, how could I correct this??

[setishock]

That's too cool. After loading the xml sheet I could see clearly how it works. All I needed was an example. Thank you again.

[Vitaly]

Hi, Banana,

At last, got enougth time to study latest changes in your form constructor. Thanks a lot for your work. I have some proposals, may be, youll find those useful for your 3.0 version :) .

1. Processing can be switched from "form parameters" to "form actions". That will spin flexibility to the next level, and will simplify / improve coding & interface for each action.

Each action can have a custom parameter & action can be added to form in the same manner, as questions. The big advantage is, that you can have several action in one time (or just skip unnecessary one). Here is actions examples:

- posting
Create Thread
PM form
Email Form
... (other types of data processing)- customisations
Custom success message (? with JS redirect to URL)
Custom error message if no permissions to use form (? with JS redirect to URL)Of cause, that can be done via hooks, but that method is much more complicated, than just push mouse buttons :) . And you are not limited to add new actions, when required. That's a kind of "advanced hooks conctructor" :)

(*) Don't know what is better: to keep title & template common, or make it individual for each posting action. Probably, second method is better and simplify main form editing page.

2. "Only for guest" questions.

Reason is simple: User should not care, which form to select for feedback. That's extremly significant for advertiser and payed visitors. If he is registered, then additional information is taken from profile. If not - he is asked to fill additional input fields.

Solution is trivial: add flag "only for guests" for all questions.

3. Full template language support in form templates.

AFAIK only macroses are supported now. But it would be useful to support <if> <else> and all internal forum variables in form templates. It seems, there are no serious barriers to do that. vBulletin have a powerful templates parser, that can be used. It's useful with proposal (2), when you can easily fix template output, depending on user permissions.

4. Please, check vulnerabilities issues

- What happens, if user enter macros name in text field? Are such patterns stripped (or converted to safe style) prior to process form?

5. It's better so send Emails in HTML. Вetter look, when use several actions (make post and send email)

(*) If you'll switch to "actions", it's possible to create new one "send email as HTML" :) . If each action has personal template, that's not a problem at all.

6. Don't know, if it's useful, but I'd enlarge default form description font to SIZE=2. And would remove "Form Description" from border.

7. It would be useful to have form active for user, but hidden from public list. No ideas, why you use 2 access settings in product options, but only sigle setting for each form. Parameter "who can view form in list" can solve it.

8. Date question format. Some prefer dd-mm-yy. May be, format type to this question?

9. Does "send email" support multiple addresses?

(*) Useful, but not critical if multiple actions are supported.

Regards,

Vitaly.

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');


Im able to access the form via misc.php?do=form&fid=10&threadid=(dynamic) but the script is unable to figure out which thread to post in.

I left "Threadid where Post is Created:*" blank since this would need to be dynamic. Unsure where to proceed from here.

Incredible. Installed, Voted, Nominated

Awsome.
so awsome its a admin feature now ;)

[trickfly]

whats the point of this mod ?

[Pedrillo]

Great plugin.

I sucesfully installed it in my forum, but when someone fills a form get this javascript error:


vB_Editor[''] is undefined

at (line 2)
return vB_Editor[''].prepare_submit(this.title.value, 0);



And the form is not submited.

I'm using vBulletin 3.8 + vbSeo 3.2.0



I discover that the form is submited or not depending of the order of the variable options that I indicate in the "Thread/ PM/ Email Title: " field:

Example: It's ok with "{q_1}: {q_2}" but not submit the form if I wrote "{q_2}: {q_1}"

In other form it's ok with "{q_6} {q_5}" but not with "{q_5} {q_6}"

:confused: :confused: What's wrong?

Thank you bananlive! ;)

[brainfood]

Thanks for the great modification. I am just starting to use it and have two questions.

Question 1:
How do I get the form results to be saved to the database? When I creating a new form I see a drop down box with the following options:

PM Form to User
Post New Thread
Post in Thread
Email Form

I do not see anything that allows me to "save to database".

I checked the tables after creating a form and using the form and the formresults tables is empty.

Question 2:
Ideally I want a user to fill out a form and submit it. When it is submitted it is posted to a thread and saved to a database. Is this possible?

Thanks!
