Easy Forms v4.x - Create a form or multiple forms without php or html knowledge

[finalcut]

Hi,

I used the form to subscribe a film to a film event. It works graet!!!!

Now I have some questions:

All the form data (several film entries) is stored in the database.

How can I handover a parameter-value from an URI to the form so it gets the formtitle (filmtitle) form a thread title?

In order to reedit the stored data, can I fill the form fields with data from the database? If yes, how?

[Martyh]

No need for a query for that, it is already cached in vBulletin userinfo

1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following php Code:

$answer = '<input class="textbox" type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[field8] . '" />';

I'm using that code and it works fine, just wondering if the box that it appears in can be larger, can the size of that box be controlled on the form ? Columns and rows.

[Dubi]

Amazing mod bananalive, for sure. :up: Installed and nominated.

Is there a way to auto-close the thread output of a form?

I have seen that there's a plugin called "Force thread close", but setting it to active don't close the new thread created by the form.

Can you help me on this?

Thank you in advance.

I'm using that code and it works fine, just wondering if the box that it appears in can be larger, can the size of that box be controlled on the form ? Columns and rows.

If you use a <textarea> then you can add in columns and rows, like this:

$answer = '<textbox columns="40" rows="3" class="textbox" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[field8] . '" />';

Use the following code in Form Hook: Before Submit:
$closed=true;

[bananalive]

With the skin Default don't work ... :erm:

Try importing attached product file overwriting current one.

Works like a charm :)

Thanks a lot for your support :up:

I can't get that to work. It doesn't show up at all.

Hi,
Great mod, but when i put "0" in a field, i have a "-" in my thread, how can i do, to display "0" in the thread ?

[Selcor]

It works perfect the 4.0.4, thank you very much!. :D

Edit: Before was wrong visualized by a mistake of mine, i used wrong the option "Form Hooks".

[bananalive]

I can't get that to work. It doesn't show up at all.
Sorry that's my fault, the code was wrong
$answer = '<textbox columns="40" rows="3" class="textbox" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '">' . $vbulletin->userinfo[field8] . '" </textarea>';

Hi, this brings it to the form and diplays it on the form but not in a box and it doesn't submit to the thread.

[RustyDogma]

Thought I had this working perfectly (thanks all for the previous help) until I ran into a user that went afk while filling out the form, and it timed out and he lost all his answers and had to start over. I'd don't want to adjust the timeout for my forums, as that effects the 'who's on-line' list too. Any way to keep the form from timing out?

Umm, I don't think so, it's controlled by vBulletin for increased security

Magicman, lol,,, awesome, thanks.

[Martyh]

Do you think there will be any way to resolve that subscription issue or, is it a dead issue ?

[misticjeff]

RE: Edit #2

vBulletin does not send html emails, it converts the bb code/ html code into plain text
But there must be a way for vBulletin to bypass the conversion and send the email as HTML. Anyone know a way this could be done?

[misticjeff]

and another question:

When i do receive the unformatted emailed form, this is what it looks like:

*VACATION REQUEST*
*Property: (Check One)*
* XXX

*Date of Request: (Todays Date)* 3\6\2010 *Employee # * XXXXXXXXX *Job Title:* XXXXXX
*Status: (Please Select One)*
* 10-Hour

*Shift:* Day
*Normal Days Off:*
* Mon/Tue

*# of Days Requested:* 1
*Date Start (First Day)* 3\7\2010 *Date Back to Work:* 3\8\2010
*Remarks:* Testing.... testing
*Your Name:* XXX XXXX


Any way to make it at least look like a listed/bullet pointed form????

Thanks

[JamesGunner]

Hey,

Im having a bit trouble with the "Manage Attachment" Button on the form. The user can fill in the form and a thread will be posted in an internal section of our forum so that user cant read the outcome / the thread. If a user wants to attach something he will get the "No permission" message telling him that he doesnt have permission to attach something. Is there any way around this?

[swanienufan]

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I can't get this to post to a forum in a moderated status based on the forum settings.

I was able to block out a couple lines of code that force the post to set the thread to 'visible=0' but it doesn't seem to work soley based off the moderation setting inside the forum.

[Welshy2008]

Bananalive,

Would it be alright if I PM you please?

Hey mate,

Awesome work.

Slight problem, I made one form to submit to one area and essentially tried to duplicate the form to then post it in a seperate area for those who wished. (Its for a Guild and giving an option for Private and Public Applications).

I tried to just create a copy of the original form however I received an error although a duplicate was made up fine. I ignored the error and then went to try and complete the form as a test and received this error;

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
Please complete both the subject and message fields.

I figured this was just because of the error I had earlier so i tried to export the original form and then import it again and hope for that to be successfull however when submitting the form I received that same error.

I've tried googling the error and had no luck so was helping you might be able to shed some light on this for me.

I'll add this too, I have zero problems submitting forms with the original form, its just the duplicates I'm having an issue with.

Update the (q_*) tags to coincide with duplicate forms.
If the original form had q_1 to pull up a field...on the duplicate form q_1 could now be q_15

This will result in the error "Please complete message and subject fields"
You will have to update each individual form that you copy or import.

Hey mate,

Thanks for the response however I did check and all the questions mirrored identically so my {q_*} etc should still have worked. Regardless however I did try and just update the 'Thread/PM/Email Title' area. In my situation I just added 'Private {q_1} {q_2} {q_3} and that seems to be working fine.

So whilst questions were in order, you were definately on to something at least, thanks for your help!

Fantastic to receive this mod for my upgraded forums!
Thanks a million!

When I send the form says:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in [path]/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code on line 116

[Bobbo]

It looks like this mod will be very useful. Thanks Bananalive!

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I would go about getting some VB session table content to display in the Thread/PM/Email Title? For example, my Vbulletin is heavily integrated with my CRM system and I've got some custom content that is stored in my sessions table. What would be ideal is if I could take the value from one of the session columns and include it in an email title.

I've tried adding $example to the Email Title, and then in the form hook added $example = $vbulletin->session->vars['customcolumnname']; but the data isnt being passed. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[jdj]

Just looking at this mod....would this mod be suitable for logging people wanting to come along to a small conference? Collecting names addresses etc. letting people choose options as to what they want to attend and telling them how much they have to pay for each option?

Instead specify the title in the Form Hook

Form Hook: Before Submit
$threadtitle = "Text before " . $vbulletin->session->vars['customcolumnname'] . " and text after";

I think it will most likely be due to incorrect formatting of single line text question's regular expression

So many thanks for this mod

[your24hourstore]

its sweet for sure, but i have found a few bugs that are discussed elsewhere , The thing I'm getting now is, when you copy a form then you must edit it , but even when you do it wont work says you must add subject and topic or something like that its been mentioned before in here. anyways there is that but what i find is as you make forms and i need a lot of them , they stack sequentially on top of each other, so i copy ed 50 and then found i couldn't use them now when you go to make a new form you must start out at{q_1} and I'm at like {q_500} but really only have maybe 20 answers, but because i deleted them it now starts at higher numbers.

I was wondering if you can clear the data_tables or something, not even sure if thats what the deal is but I don't really have that many answers yet it thinks i do ...LOL

what I really need is a way to not need so many forms. if i had one that could choose a state from the drop down question then when its selected actually post it to that states thread I wouldn't need 51 forms :> sigh

if i uninstall it then reinstall it will the q_1 be back at q_1 and not q_500 ?

[Bobbo]

Has anyone else noticed how messed up it looks when you try and edit questions when using Internet Explorer 8?

Scratch that... Bananalive posted a workaround in post #66 of this thread. Must have missed it the first time I read the thread.

How do I create a custom dropdown that pulls the same options from a custom profile dropdown. For example field42 is an option in a members profile to select a game and I want the data from this same field42 to appear in a custom dropdown in this form?

[Budget101]

In Form > Form Name > Form Edit > Create Section > Enter Description >

When I enter BBcode in the short description (particularly ) , then click save and view the form, the bbcode is completely ignored and everything is in bold.

How do I fix that?

I'm going to add an option in next version where you can specify name for field, like field1 then you would be able to use {q_field1} and that would not need changing if you copied forms.

BananaLive,

First, thanks again for this mod. It's very flexible and provides value in many different scenarios. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

I have a question thats more of a programming question. Not a mod bug or anything. I'm trying to figure out how I could make a custom question, which happens to be a select option drop down menu, retain it's value when performing a preview on a form.

So for example, I have a question that queries a sql database and builds a drop down list of data with the first choice selected 'New RQST' as the default. You make your choice, let's say it's 'RQST 109'. When I click preview, my preview looks great. However on the original form listed below, where you can make edits, the custom field has defaulted to 'New RQST'.

Does anyone know of some sort of technique that I could use to detect we're in preview to retain the selection?

Many Thanks.

Bobbo

got any unmm timetables on that new version with the kool new field code in it :up:

[your24hourstore]

406 is installed

[Supramania]

Sometime over the last month/few weeks, something has gone wrong with my install.

My forms all submit one letter per question, even if users type in a lot of data, radio button choices are ignored and they default to the first choice - you can see it when you preview the form before you submit.

Sound at all familiar?

have you tried to reinstalled over it? ..install 406 see if that works. probibly from the 4.0.2 patch level 4 ypgrade messed a bunch o stuff up

[your24hourstore]

You spend a lot of time making code for peeps LOL

I was wondering if you could make this archive the thread your form creates after 30 days or so maybe even make it customizable close and delete it after x many days

What you got in your bag o tricks for something like that ? maybe a kool plugin we could use to do it :D

mine is displaying numbers where text should be shown...
not sure when it started doing it :>

or if it is something i did when applying my new plugin for thread submit:eek:

[stuky4ever]

How can I change the output it sends to {q_1}? On title it shows numbers instead of the actual answer. E.G You want? Cat Dog Turtle it would display {q_1} Animal = 1 Animal instead of the actual result Cat Animal.

No-ones ever reported anything like this before.

What field type are you using?

Have you got anything in your form hooks?

Have you modified any of the templates?

[valendono]

for the Question Dropdown, the Output only number... only me or this the bugs ?

i uninstalled the 406 version and reinstalled it and got the same error numbers as answers instead of words or letter, so i uninstalled again and installed 403 and it worked as it did when i made the forms so its in that new version whatever it is

Hi BannaLive, is there anything being done with the auto-subscribe function. I still can't get the user to be subscribed to the new thread, thanks.

[Bobbo]

I thought someone posted about this one, but I cant seem to find the post, unless I am simply confused which is not uncommon. :rolleyes:

I only allow access to the Forms navbar tab for admins. Site users access the individual forms via direct links from different places in the site. Since they dont have access to the forms navbar tab, the selected navbar ends up defaulting to the Forum tab, which might be confusing to a site member.

I was thinking there may be 2 different ways I could address this. One would be to figure out how to get the selectednavtab to work with a different tab. I tried adding a conditional on the 'Easy Forms - Forms Tab' plugin to set the selectednavtab to, for example, 'vbcms', but end result is that no tab is selected when viewing a form. (this is cleaner than having the forum tab selected, but not ideal)

The other option I thought of was modifying the navbit section, which I circled in the attached image. What would be ideal is if rather than linking to site.com/misc.php?do=forms it could link to a custom URL based on the form I was using. Then at least, the site user could easily navigate back to where they had been previous to selecting the form.

[Supramania]

I just did, with allow overwrite. No effect.

It's happening with all of my forms, they are a mixed bag, radio buttons, free text, etc.

Here's some screenshots to show you what's happening.

Here's the form before you fill it in:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/3.png

Here's the form after I've filled it in:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/4.png

Here's the "preview":
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/5.png

Here's what it looks like in the form results:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/6.png

I've checked the tables, no errors in structure.

Here's what the sdata field looks like:

a:13:{i:32;s:4:"1979";s:0:"";s:1:"'";i:33;s:5:"Targa";i:34;s:18:"Normally Aspirated";i:35;s:1:"B";i:36;s:4:"M-EU";i:37;s:10:"W50 Manual";i:38;s:1:"W";i:39;s:1:"t";i:40;s:1:"t";i:41;s:1:"t";i:42;s:1:"t";i:43;s:1:"'";}

So it's getting mauled before insertion into the table.

Any ideas?

[LifesGreatestGift]

In template form_view delete <div class="body_wrapper"> on line 1 and its closing </div> at the end.

Template conflict.

You would have to edit css

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Style Variable Editor

Change Forms -> form_columnleft_width

This may effect others areas of the forum which use the same css

[NFLfbJunkie]

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

The Easy Forms options to edit permissions such as EDIT, DELETE, ADD SETTING are missing at the top of the option page.

I've noticed an issue with Internet Explorer 8 and Single Line Textfield type questions. Any of my forms that have questions of this type, I cannot enter any data in the field. (when using the form) In Google Chrome, I don't seem to have any issues entering data.

In IE8, I can click in the field, and I see a blinking cursor. However, I cannot type anything. Do you see this on your system?
(I'm using 4.0.6 btw)
Thanks again,

Dom, I really appreciate your offer. I figured out what the problem is though. I was ignoring the Maxlength field... I had it set for the default value of 0. In Chrome, this setting still allowed me to enter data in the field. In IE8, it took 0 as 0, and wont let me enter anything... As soon as I entered a real value for the parameter, I could enter data.

I created a new form by using the Copy function of another form.

The new form layout is really messed up and also throws a PHP error

Warning: Division by zero in [path]/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code on line 893

Form: http://www.darkhandofvalor.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=11

The old form is fine: http://www.darkhandofvalor.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=5

Ok, found the problem.

When you create a new field of Radio Button type. The default for "Options per row" is set to 0. I changed it to 1 and the entire form started working correctly and no PHP error.

The Easy Forms Options is missing the option to Add, Edit...etc. I can't start a new form or change the permissions. The options are missing or I am going blind.

I haven't figured out how to add users without selecting all or just one class like administrator
Do you had each group individually then save it and then add another?

Thank you for this awesome mod!

Is there a way to have a form post to two separate forums at the same time? I run a forum for a World of Warcraft guild, and I setup a form for people applying to our guild. Right now the form posts to a public forum, but I would like it to also be posted to a more restricted forum as well.

[Selcor]

I assume you are using custom output?

If you are, try using {qo_X} instead of {q_x} in custom output

Thank you very much!, You're right!.

I do not understand much English language:

In the section Edit Form - Thread / PM / Email Title use {q_*}
In the section Form BB code and Custom Output use {qo_*}

What is the difference between {q_*} {qo_*} and {qn_*} ???.

Edit:

Understood the difference between {qo_*} and {qn_*}.
{qo_*} sends the response and {qn_*} send the question.

One suggestion for future versions:
?One could be used ID relative and not absolute?, because when you copy a Form, it changes all the ID and we have to re-edit the entire Form.

Thanks!

Can this form product customize output (when creating a new thread) of specific questions.

For example:

Question 1: How old are you?


Output:


22 years old

Hi,

I responded back in post #338 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2013190&postcount=338)

No help for my issue at all?

If I export the form xml and reimport it into a new form I have the same issue.

I have tried upgrading to 4.0.7 - no change.

Would it be possible to have a DD/MM/YYYY date format option? Many of my users are entering the date the incorrectly because we're not used to the US format :)

Thanks

[munsonfan15]

I was looking to install this for members to rate classes given by other members. Before I do this I was making sure it is capable of what I want to do.

I want to be able to have a link in a certain user groups postbit where when you click that link and persons user name (the one that made that post) will become one of the variable answers. When the peson fills out the form the title of the thread that is created will be of that members name (the variable).

Example:

Im in User A's post - I click on the link, fill out the form and when the thread is created the title of the form is 'User A etec etc etc'

Can this be done and if so how?

**** I want to change this - Actually I will have the link go to a form but i would like one of the variables by a drop down list of all the members in a first and seconday user group.

[drainpan]

I love this thing... it is the greatest other than the minor problem I am having. I read through this entire thread and didn't see anyone else having the same problem so it must be something I am doing wrong.

I create my form with 14 questions and it is set to make a thread in a specific forum and it does that.... however it doesn't display all of the questions and answers... only the first 4 and they are a bit strange as you can see from the screenshots...

As you can see... I have the Custom Form Output set to show all of the questions and the answers but the first one shows up fine then there is a crap load of space before 2, 3 and 4 show and 5-14 don't show at all.

any ideas?

[jaryx]

How can I do something like that?:

if form posted by normal user, then post on threadid = X
if form posted by vip, then post on threadid = Y

[bananalive]

How can I do something like that?:

if form posted by normal user, then post on threadid = X
if form posted by vip, then post on threadid = Y

Add the following php code to Form Hook: Before Submit:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid']==6)
{
$form['threadid'] = 2;
}
else
{
$form['threadid'] = 3;
}

Assuming 6 is vip usergroup

I think you will be using the wrong question hashes for custom output - see image below.

I was looking to install this for members to rate classes given by other members. Before I do this I was making sure it is capable of what I want to do.

I want to be able to have a link in a certain user groups postbit where when you click that link and persons user name (the one that made that post) will become one of the variable answers. When the peson fills out the form the title of the thread that is created will be of that members name (the variable).

Example:

Im in User A's post - I click on the link, fill out the form and when the thread is created the title of the form is 'User A etec etc etc'

Can this be done and if so how?

**** I want to change this - Actually I will have the link go to a form but i would like one of the variables by a drop down list of all the members in a first and seconday user group.

Yes, it is possible with Easy Forms

For dropdown list of members, create a custom question with following php code:
$answer .= '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$members = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE usergroupid = 2
ORDER BY username ASC");
while($row = $db->fetch_array($members)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[username].'"';
if ($row[username] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>';
Change 2 to the desired usergroupid

[bananalive]

Would it be possible to have a DD/MM/YYYY date format option? Many of my users are entering the date the incorrectly because we're not used to the US format :)

Thanks

When creating the date question you have the option for date format

Hi,

I responded back in post #338 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2013190&postcount=338)

No help for my issue at all?

If I export the form xml and reimport it into a new form I have the same issue.

I have tried upgrading to 4.0.7 - no change.

I've tried importing your forms and they work for me

There is nothing in Easy Forms code which limits the strings so I've got no idea what could be causing it.

[bananalive]

Have you got sidebar widget for last active voting?

Huh?

[bananalive]

Im not using a custom output, and non of that worked.

Try upgrading to latest version.

[bananalive]

Can this form product customize output (when creating a new thread) of specific questions.

For example:

Question 1: How old are you?


Output:


22 years old

Yes there is an option to create custom output when edit each form.

[bananalive]

Thank you very much!, You're right!.

I do not understand much English language:

In the section Edit Form - Thread / PM / Email Title use {q_*}
In the section Form BB code and Custom Output use {qo_*}

What is the difference between {q_*} {qo_*} and {qn_*} ???.

Edit:

Understood the difference between {qo_*} and {qn_*}.
{qo_*} sends the response and {qn_*} send the question.

One suggestion for future versions:
?One could be used ID relative and not absolute?, because when you copy a Form, it changes all the ID and we have to re-edit the entire Form.

Thanks!

The problem with relative question hashes is that if you re-order the questions then it would mess up all of the custom output.

I have added the option of 'Reference Name:' when creating/editing questions which can be used instead of question hashes and would remain the same when copying forms.

[bananalive]

Thank you for this awesome mod!

Is there a way to have a form post to two separate forums at the same time? I run a forum for a World of Warcraft guild, and I setup a form for people applying to our guild. Right now the form posts to a public forum, but I would like it to also be posted to a more restricted forum as well.

I cannot get some custom ouput to work.

I have tried the following: {q_1}, {qo_1}, and {q_date} (date is the reference name I assigned_ and I iether get nothing or some funny symbols.

When I use {q_2} (this is a drop down box variable) that works everywhere I use it, in the body of the post and the post title - just dont know why the date question and radio box question do not work correctly.

the {qn_x} works and puts the actual question just fine.

[munsonfan15]

Well I thought all was well (except for my custom ouput problem above) until I tried to submit a form being a regular member instead of an Admin. I get a message that there is a Securuty Token problem and form cannot be sumbitted. I have checked all permissions and all looks ok. Not sure what that message means.

*** I figured some things outs...

I received the Security Token error if I have a member on both a primary and secondary usergroup AND have the displayed group anything other then default. If I change to Default it all appears to work ok

[drainpan]

I think you will be using the wrong question hashes for custom output - see image below.

There is nothing in Easy Forms code which limits the strings so I've got no idea what could be causing it.

I've tried everything I can think of.

I uninstalled the product.
I manually dropped the results table from SQL just to be sure. (Uninstaller doesn't do this)
I re-uploaded the misc.php file to be sure it's not a problem with that.
I re-uploaded the .js and .css files.
I've reinstalled the product & reimported one of the .xml files.

Same results.. :(

Not sure where to go from here. I'd really hate to be forced abandon this mod.

Anyone out there have any suggestions I haven't tried yet?

[Cadellin]

Thanks - I created the questions before that option was added - Duh! should have checked!

[XLCR GODFATHER]

will I still have the forms I created in a previous version if I upgrade to the newest version?

[Cedric_FP]

What function does "Save to database" have?

Is it simply for saving the progress of a form?

Also, is there anyway to to use the "Add post to thread" function similarly to a "post new reply" button?

As in, the form can automatically fill in the thread ID depending on the referring URL for the form (as the referring URL will contain the thread id if used instead of a new reply button)?

[apietersen]

[Cedric_FP]

bananalive,

Could you post the code for creation of a new thread to enter into Form Hook: Before Submit, but using the "build_new_post" function instead of the datamanager?

[MikeWarner]

Strange - I added the plugin to redirect to the forms when clicking "New Thread" in certain forums, however it doesn't work properly. It goes to the normal thread post page. When you fill that in and hit submit, it then takes you to the form. However, if you ignore this, you find the post has been made.

Any ideas? I'm using vBSEO, but it did work in vB3.7 with vBSEO running.

Is there another way to link from the New Thread buttons - i.e. conditionals in the templates?

Please help, Thanks

[XLCR GODFATHER]

Will I lose any of my current forms or form results if I upgrade?

[MikeWarner]

My content stayed when upgrade. You can download the forms it you are worried about it though - then reupload. :)

Hello

Just installed this on 4.0.3. Seems to work but I've only just started playing around. I had a quick search on this thread for the answer to this question, couldn't see it so apologies if I missed it.

How do you change the title of the tab from "forms" to something else?

[Bobbo]

[Does anyone know how I could set the value of the redirect URL from the before submit plugin location?

I build redirect URLs on the fly based in part on form field selections as well as a db query. So for example, I will need to redirect a user to http://site.com/file.php?example=(question1result)&example2=(queryresult)


Nevermind... figured this one out.

Looks like the variable $form[redirecturl] is used for the redirect. I can simply set this in the plugin like below, where $qo_1 is the answer to question 1 on the form... Hope someone finds it useful.

$form[redirecturl = "http://site.com/file.php?example=".$qo_1."&example2=".$queryresult;

[crazyace]

Any way to chance the TAB name from forums to something else?

[Bobbo]

Any way to chance the TAB name from forums to something else?

Sure. Go into the Admin CP and search through your global phrases (mine was on page 17) for the phrase called Forms. Enter any custom name you want there. :)

Hello! Greate job, thank you! Can you answer one question :) is there any way to export form results to excel or in xml format. Not form, but results, table. Thank you ones more.

P.S. And one more question, not so important, but, do you plan to do "depended quetion". I mean, for example, we have drop down menu, we choose option, then we got another question and options are depended on what you choose before. Sorry my english!

Good Question I would like both features as well.

Exporting results would be beneficial for business proposal purposes.

And the other would help eliminate larger forms with multiple questions that sometimes may not pertain if another question is a no answer or having multiple forms solely for small variables.

Exactly! May be, for sure, I'd like to point attention, that when I have wrote about export I ment export feature for allowed usergroups, not just for administrators (because we can export directly from mysql).

[riskofficer]

I'm sorry, I don't want to be annoying, but I've got one more question: is there any way to edit submitted form result? For example, I've submitted answers, but got new information and decided to change something in my answers, how can I do this. Or, for example, moderator needs to change something in submitted answers?

Summarizing:

* Please, let us export results to excel/xml
* Editing of submitted results
* Depended options

[HolyKiller]

Hi,

can anyone help me how to use that template hook in form before submit? I want to add some php confrim dialog when user click on "Submit". So for example user need to accept custom rules by clicking on "YES" button and form will be sent, otherwise nothing happend (stay on form page).

Thanks :)

Is there anyway to make it so all users can create forms, but only admins can edit and delete them?

[riskofficer]

How can I change a width of particular column in Form Results Table (see attached picture, please)?

[Max Paint]

(1) Cannot DELETE forms

(2) Is it possible to disable FormResults and FormResultsTable for special usergroups (even Admins) and only enable FormResultPOLLS (so you can use the forms anonym)

[riskofficer]

How can I change a width of particular column in Form Results Table (see attached picture, please)?

ok, I did it, but only if you have 1 form:

in form_results_table_field replace all with
<td class="blockrow">
<vb:if condition="$qid==3 or $qid==9 or $qid==4 or $qid==5 or $qid==10"><div style='overflow: auto; height:50px; width: 300px;'></vb:if>
{vb:raw sdata.{vb:raw qid}}
<vb:if condition="$qid==3 or $qid==9 or $qid==4 or $qid==5 or $qid==10"></div></vb:if>
</td>
where qid -- numbers of questions where answers can be very long

[riskofficer]

may be somebody knows how to strip_tags($data, '<br>'); from sdata.{vb:raw qid} before sending it to Form Result Table

I dont understand why <?php ?> code do not work when you write it in style manager-->form_results_table_field

I need to remove all <br /> tags from data in "Form Results Table", because MS Excel imports text with <br>'s as several cells

I do have another plugin from SEOforums.com and I do have a thread tagger as well, but not the one by them.

I uninstalled Easy Forms a while ago since it appeared nobody was willing to help. I'll probably try to reinstall this weekend and will try disabling a few plugins to see if I can find which one is causing conflict.

1. Custom output looks fine now. I did't try to use it, that is why I don't know about working or not.
2. Yes, thank you.
3. There are still &amp; &quot; tags. Line breaks works fine, thank you!

I don't use "Forum Result Poll" but may be this suggestion will be interesting: not pre-given text answers can't be "pollable", for example, when you ask users -- "what do you think about my mod" -- it can be one million different answers and in Poll Results they will show nothing interesting. But when you ask -- "how many times you have been to USA" for example, -- answers can repeat from one to another, and in Poll Results you can see interesting graphs. When you ask something and answers pre-given in check boxes, for example, Poll Results will be greate. That is why check box near question in Edit Form about Pollable or not question will be greate idea, as I think.

Sorry my English.

[sopier]

I already installed the forms in vBulletin 4.0.3 and it successfully submit form as a thread for several times (5 times), then when I'm trying to submit new forms there is an error messages:

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
Please complete both the subject and message fields.

I already check the subject and message fields, it's all filled but still I can't submit new forms...

FYI, first I make 1 master forms and then just copy the forms, then I just edit the title of the forms, etc ...

=====
Solved .... The problem is in {q_*}, since I'm only copying the forms to many, the parameter {q_1} is the same between one and another forms, I should change it too according to the first questions number in the related forms....

[sopier]

Now, this is another questions... How if I want to attach images as one of the fields in the forms? What should I do?

[mokonzi]

Awesome mod, improved so much from the 3.8 verison I used to use.

A couple of things, when using Yes/No answers, it records in the vote format the language...

i.e:

Yes: 25%
Ja: 25%
No: 25%
Neine: 25%

Would it be possible for it to not record the language variations? Or have an option to do?

Another nice feature would be having the number who agreed with a poll option when you hover over the poll bar... i.e. 25% translates to 15 who agreed with it...

[riskofficer]

bananalive, could you please code Results Editing option? I'll try to explain what I mean. Hmm. The button "Edit" near the button "Delete" in Form Results near each Result. When you press Edit the button leads us to the Form with predefined answers from the Editing answer. Like Editing threads. Thank you!

I've got the 4.0.9 version of this mod installed. Looks great, so congratulations; I'm just playing around with it trying to work out how to use it (I'm not a developer). Just noticed there's a grammatical error in there: Easy to fix in phrases, even I know how to do this, but you might want to change in next release.

In the phrase "Please Note: Questions proceeded by an asterisk (*) are compulsory" the word proceeded needs to be replaced by the word preceded.

[Alisa Lindsay]

Good Evening...

I noticed this thread is a tad old, so hope I get a response...

I installed the mod on my test board. It is great and when I work out the kinks, it'll be marvelous.

I run an RPG and need to use the forms to create a character's bio/profile so it's a rather long form with different sections. I'd like to divide the sections with the horizontal rule line (I have the custom BB Code installed)...

Lets say I have an "Age" field in my form that ranges from 12-99.

How would I go about making it so if they choose and number below 16 they would either instantly be directed or once submitted be directed to a custom error page of my design to tell then they are not old enough?

I would really like to do this on my clan application form to weed out the youngsters.

Thank you in advance...

Great mod, just wish there was a readme file with instructions. I had to figure it all out on the fly.

Can forms be posted as a thread instead of having to be linked via misc.php?etc

[jdj]

Good Evening...

I noticed this thread is a tad old, so hope I get a response...

I installed the mod on my test board. It is great and when I work out the kinks, it'll be marvelous.

I run an RPG and need to use the forms to create a character's bio/profile so it's a rather long form with different sections. I'd like to divide the sections with the horizontal rule line (I have the custom BB Code installed)...

However, so far, I've been unable to make this work...It's possible it's setting on the actual forum I've missed although I've gone through them all twice....

I'm also interested in using this to create a character's bio/profile and I'm also learning to use it. One thing though...because I'm not a developer, to me the acronym RPG stands for "rocket propelled grenade". So if in the course of my own explorations I find something that might help you I may not know because I do not understand the jargon. :D

In a specific forum, I would like to have the "Post New Thread" button link to the Easy Form I have created. This would force the first post of any new threads in that forum to have to fill out the Easy Form questionnaire.

Is this possible? What would the template edits be?

Could this be implemented through vb Options in later releases of this fine hack?

Thanks.

It's really easy just using one plugin:

Title : can be what you want

Hook Location : newthread_form_complete

Plugin PHP Code:

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

Have you tried custom output?

[bananalive]

I've got the 4.0.9 version of this mod installed. Looks great, so congratulations; I'm just playing around with it trying to work out how to use it (I'm not a developer). Just noticed there's a grammatical error in there: Easy to fix in phrases, even I know how to do this, but you might want to change in next release.

In the phrase "Please Note: Questions proceeded by an asterisk (*) are compulsory" the word proceeded needs to be replaced by the word preceded.

As the stars are at the end don't they proceed the question not precede it?

[bananalive]

bananalive, could you please code Results Editing option? I'll try to explain what I mean. Hmm. The button "Edit" near the button "Delete" in Form Results near each Result. When you press Edit the button leads us to the Form with predefined answers from the Editing answer. Like Editing threads. Thank you!

Added in v4.1.0

[bananalive]

Awesome mod, improved so much from the 3.8 verison I used to use.

A couple of things, when using Yes/No answers, it records in the vote format the language...

i.e:

Yes: 25%
Ja: 25%
No: 25%
Neine: 25%

Would it be possible for it to not record the language variations? Or have an option to do?

Another nice feature would be having the number who agreed with a poll option when you hover over the poll bar... i.e. 25% translates to 15 who agreed with it...

Fixed language issue.

Number 'voted' should show, but there was line missing :eek: fixed in attached file for you.

[bananalive]

Now, this is another questions... How if I want to attach images as one of the fields in the forms? What should I do?

Added option to allow bbcode for checkbox and radio buttons - so use [img] bbcode

[riskofficer]

Added in v4.1.0
Thank you! One more thing about edit is something like "Usergroups Allowed to Edit Form Results". For example I'd like to leave this option (Edit Result) only for person whos answered (starter) and admins/moderators. BTW the option to delete results is in need of permissions too, I haven't found them.

I fully agree where leaving the delete option available makes it too easy for accidental click and should be a permission setting.

Suggestion: Change phrase
Error, you have exceeded limit for number of times this form can be submitted.
to
Error, you have exceeded limit for number of times this form can be submitted.
Edit your submitted form.

Or better:
If a user has exceeded the limit for number of times he can submit the form, redirect him immediately to the edit form.

I can not edit my own entry if the maximum number of entries is limited to one.

Bugs:

Solution for at least going to the edit form

1. Replace in plugin Easy Forms Part 1
if ($form[submitlimitperuser] >= 1)
to
if (!$formresult && $form[submitlimitperuser] >= 1)




2. In same plugin in the area after
if ($_POST['do'] == 'postform')
replace
if ($count >= $form[submitlimitperuser])
to
if ($count > $form[submitlimitperuser])

[ThorstenA]

Bug: Poll displays free text entries

Solution: Replace in plugin Easy Forms Part 3 short after
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'formresults_poll')
{
the code
$formbits = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formbits WHERE fid = $fid AND type != 7 ORDER BY displayorder ASC");
to
$formbits = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formbits WHERE fid = $fid AND type NOT IN (1,6,7,8,9) ORDER BY displayorder ASC");

Temporary, not really working solution
(This messes lots of things up in your database as userid 123 will have an effect on userid 12345). It is better to get the userids from a simple SELECT query of forumresults table.

Replace in plugin Easy Forms Part 2
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deleteformresult')
{
$caneditform = unserialize($vbulletin->options['caneditform']);
if ($caneditform && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $caneditform))
{
print_no_permission();
}
$id = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_UINT);
$fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'fid', TYPE_UINT);
$db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE id=$id");
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forms SET userids = REPLACE(userids,\"," . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . "\",\"\") WHERE fid=$fid");
$vbulletin->url = "misc.php?do=forms";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_deleteq'));
}
to
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deleteformresult')
{
$caneditform = unserialize($vbulletin->options['caneditform']);
if ($caneditform && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $caneditform))
{
print_no_permission();
}
$id = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_UINT);
$fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'fid', TYPE_UINT);
$db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE id=$id");
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forms SET userids = REPLACE(userids,\"," . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . "\",\"\") WHERE fid=$fid");
$vbulletin->url = "misc.php?do=forms";
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_deleteq'));
}

[ThorstenA]

To have my users automatically redirect to the form results page where they can edit their entries if they exceeded their maximum entries, I use this code in plugin Easy Forums Part 1
if (!$formresult && $form[submitlimitperuser] >= 1)
{
$userids = $form[userids];
$userid = $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];
$count = substr_count(",$userids,", ",$userid,");
if ($count >= $form[submitlimitperuser])
{
$vbulletin->url = "misc.php?do=formresults&fid=" . $fid;
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_deleteq'));
//$errormessage = "Error, you have exceeded limit for number of times this form can be submitted.";
//eval(standard_error($errormessage));
}
}

I use this product as a review type. For each form a user can only have one entry. As I only have one entry to be displayed on this page anyway, I am redirecting my user to the edit page directly. For doing that I need the id of the formresults table:
$id = $db->query_first("SELECT id FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE fid = '$fid' AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . "");
$vbulletin->url = "misc.php?do=editformresult&id=" . $id[id] . "&fid=" . $fid;
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_deleteq'));

[ThorstenA]

This is about the database "review" model where users are allowed to give an entry once (limit: 1).

Users are allowed to see the poll results from all users. However, for Privacy Reasons users can only see their own entries on form results table:

In plugin Easy Forms Part 3 replace
$formresults = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE fid = '$fid' $search AND userid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . " ORDER BY time DESC");
to
$formresults = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE fid = '$fid' $search AND userid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . " ORDER BY time DESC");

[ThorstenA]

After user has completed the entry successfully, he is redirected to the statistic page:

Replace in plugin Easy Forms Part 1

if ($complete && $show['editing'])
{
$sdata = serialize($qo);
$db->query_write("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults
SET
title = '".$db->escape_string($threadtitle)."',
output = '".$db->escape_string($formoutput)."',
sdata = '".$db->escape_string($sdata)."'
WHERE
fid = '".$fid."' AND
id = '".$show['edit_id']."'
");
$errormessage = "Form Result was successfully updated.";
$vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/misc.php?do=formresults&fid=$fid";
eval(print_standard_redirect($errormessage, false, true));
}

to
if ($complete && $show['editing'])
{
$sdata = serialize($qo);
$db->query_write("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults
SET
title = '".$db->escape_string($threadtitle)."',
output = '".$db->escape_string($formoutput)."',
sdata = '".$db->escape_string($sdata)."'
WHERE
fid = '".$fid."' AND
id = '".$show['edit_id']."'
");
$errormessage = "Form Result was successfully updated.";
$vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/misc.php?do=formresults_poll&fid=$fid";
eval(print_standard_redirect($errormessage, false, true));
}

[ThorstenA]

I love this product! Therefore I took some time to look into it and I have some suggestions for its database structure

Rename row time to dateline (as they do in the other vbulletin tables)
Remove username from table formresults and fetch username by querying user table.
("... FROM formresults, user WHERE formresults.userid=user.userid ...")

Remove userids from table forms and get this information from table forumresults. This is needed for limit users entries for a question. It is very hard to maintain duplicate (redundant) information. You have all these infos when querying forumresults table
("SELECT count(userid) AS usercount FROM forumresults WHERE fid=$fid AND userid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] ."")
Remove redirect from table forms. It is redundant to redirecturl.

[ThorstenA]

Some suggestions for coding:


Put code that is used throughout all actions (do=whatever) on top of each plugin. Example:
$fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'fid', TYPE_UINT);
or, have each action its own plugin

I'd love to have the program creating a database table for each form. That would be very great. You then can make a review type out of it just with adding a database key so that there can only be one entry for one userid. Querying this data would be far more easy, though.

[ThorstenA]

Security issue. A user may delete other users results by entering their formresults id.

In plugin Easy Forms Part 2 replace
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deleteformresult')
{
$caneditform = unserialize($vbulletin->options['caneditform']);
if ($caneditform && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $caneditform))
{
print_no_permission();
}
$id = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_UINT);
$fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'fid', TYPE_UINT);
$db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE id=$id");

to
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deleteformresult')
{
$caneditform = unserialize($vbulletin->options['caneditform']);
if ($caneditform && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $caneditform))
{
print_no_permission();
}
$id = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_UINT);
$db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE id=$id and userid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . "");

The $fid seems to be not needed and therefore does not need to be included in the url.

Bug: Poll displays free text entries

I think solution could be as I already wrote (it is more flexible than hardcoded question types restrictions):

I don't use "Forum Result Poll" but may be this suggestion will be interesting: not pre-given text answers can't be "pollable", for example, when you ask users -- "what do you think about my mod" -- it can be one million different answers and in Poll Results they will show nothing interesting. But when you ask -- "how many times you have been to USA" for example, -- answers can repeat from one to another, and in Poll Results you can see interesting graphs. When you ask something and answers pre-given in check boxes, for example, Poll Results will be greate. That is why check box near question in Edit Form about Pollable or not question will be greate idea, as I think.

Sorry my English.
Like we already have checkbox about required this question or not.

I have prepared some suggestions about Form's "first page". May be they could be interesting (see attached picture).

[your24hourstore]

the user delete from database should be a huge deal.

[riskofficer]

just a small bug

[riskofficer]

It might be a bug too (please see attached)

I'm sorry for such big activity, it is because my forum uses your mod very often.

[riskofficer]

I think "Usergroups Allowed to Edit Form Results" and "Usergroups Allowed to Delete Form Results" should have priority on "Users Can Manage their own Form Results"

I mean that if "Users Can Manage their own Form Results" turned on, and groups are chosen in "Usergroups Allowed to Edit Form Results" and "Usergroups Allowed to Delete Form Results", that groups need permissions to edit/delete all entries, not only their own.

Now if "Users Can Manage their own Form Results" turned on, I can't see all entries in Form Results even if I choose my group in "Usergroups Allowed to Edit Form Results" and "Usergroups Allowed to Delete Form Results"

[Alisa Lindsay]

Hello,

Does anyone else have this problem?

When I have to edit the order of the questions in a form and then click display I get sent to a Redirect Page with the following message: Question Deleted, You are being redirected to the form now. (See Screen Shot)

And it hangs there...I have to manually go back to the forum via my bookmark or back arrow.

When I check the form afterward, it has reordered the questions and not deleted any.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the product (to the server and the XML to my site).

Thanks and Regards,

Alisa

Thank you for your quick responses to issues! This is a great mod and a life-saver for an RPG owner.

[riskofficer]

I have prepared some suggestions about Form's "first page". May be they could be interesting (see attached picture).
I still interesting in this, may be community will agree with me? :) I think first page of Forms page have to be more informative, include statistics and help about forms.



P.S. And one more question, not so important, but, do you plan to do "depended quetion". I mean, for example, we have drop down menu, we choose option, then we got another question and options are depended on what you choose before. Sorry my english!
This will bring forms on new level, as I think :)


Another suggestion is to have different permissions for different forms. This thing is very demanded for me!



And the last but not least, is Form Results Statistics, for example:
who submitted answers and how many answers,
how many views have form,
who viewed it and how many times,
I don't know, for the beggining this is enough, at least we will have the place where we can see Form Results Statistic :)


And big respect to you! Thank you! Your mod is awesome!

Excuse my English please :)

[Alisa Lindsay]

Good Day All,

I have a small cosmetic issue on the Form List page layout. This is not impacting functionality, just hard for an old person like me to read or I'd leave as is.

If someone could tell me how to fix...or what the issue is, I'd be grateful.

Steps I've Taken to Fix: Completely uninstalled the mod including clientscripts. Downloaded a clean version and reinstalled. Issue remains.

On the Forms List Page, the different form sections are not showing as they do in the screenshot attached to Post #1 here...
