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

[Sarcoth]

@ Laric - I've seen the answer to this on another page. I even provided a link to it on this page (15).

[Stryker412]

I have a small issue, I was able to export my form from my vb3 install to our new vb4 install. Everything works great except there's an issue with the drop down questions. The box with the options are very narrow and the full text cannot be seen.

[reesev]

Create Custom Question with:
Reference Name: forumid
PHP Code: $answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] ."\">";

foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";
Edit Form -> Form Hook: Before Submit:
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = $qo['forumid'];


This worked great is there a easy way to make it only show certain forums instead of listing them all?

thanks in advance

[laric]

@ Laric - I've seen the answer to this on another page. I even provided a link to it on this page (15).

Thanks for that one. The problem is that I don't want all of the form posted on the second post. I want a subset of the questions/answers in the second post.

[stationar]

For some reason all form results are gone. I get: Error, this form does not have any results stored in the database.
I checked in the database, and yes, the "formresults" table is empty.
I checked moderators log for product "Easy Forms", and it didn't contain any data. So, moderators actions don't get logged?

[temporaryins]

Might be considered a weird question but...

Is there any way to implement a "time it took to complete" function for a form, that would then be shown at some point on the submission?

Weird... there is not a button to delete all of them, so they must have deleted all of them individually.

No, Easy Forms does not create any logs.

Change 1,2,3 with appropriate forumids in below example:

Create Custom Question with:
Reference Name: forumid
PHP Code: $answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] ."\">";

foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if (!in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))
{
continue;
}
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";
Edit Form -> Form Hook: Before Submit:
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = $qo['forumid'];

As of v4.1.7 you can change width of dropdown <select>s.

Edit: just realised i have not released v4.1.7 yet... so I will now.

[ascroft]

Hi - this is neat. Thanks. Can I use the same form across multiple forums? Or do I have to copy in to each forum. I was hoping a user could select from a predefined list??

[Stryker412]

[reesev]

thanks banana i tried doing it my self but i was putting the if statement ahead of everything.. guess what? my array did not work lol

[Lazorbeam]

Outstanding work. I will make extensive use of this.

[TeknoSounds]

Bananalive, I would live to run this by you to see if this is possible with your mod.

I would like the mod to post to two seperate forums...one static one, and one that would change based upon what the answer to a question is. Secondly it needs to make an entry to another database based on question answers.

I understand i can get the form to create a new thread in a set forum, that takes care of my static one, can I also tell the form to make a database entry for another thread? And can I get it to make a database connection and entry to another table (non-vB)?

(not wanting to know how to do it exactly, can attempt to figure that out :) Just wondering if its possible)

[bestword]

if there have lots of forms under a category,the list will become very very long...........

would the category can be collapse or the forms can set a time to auto show and auto hide?

[Faskis]

It seems as though with the 4.1.7 update, the radio button option doesn't appear to work on the form itself. Like, it doesn't show up when you're filling out the form.

Yes, your right, fixed bug in v4.1.8

[bananalive]

v4.1.8
- collapsible form categories
- fixed radio button bug

When upgrading from v4.1.7 to v4.1.8, just import aand overwrite the product file. (No changes have been made to files in /upload/ folder)

[Faskis]

Thanks!

[bearcub]

Thanks for this plug in.

Can I block a certain portion of the form from non premium members? My self or a registered member can write review of a product. That form would be inserted as a post (new review).Now what I want to do is allow everyone to read the basic information, but have a text box with the details hidden from non premium members, or other member groups that I choose.

Any help on this?

Yes I am completely new at this.

So you want to hide some of the Post, created by your form, and have the rest of it unhidden?

[betty02]

Is it possible to use that so when my members buy a certain subscription they have to fill out there address for a membership pack to be sent to, then admins can view asters or get PM and Mark address as sent?

[bearcub]

So you want to hide some of the Post, created by your form, and have the rest of it unhidden?

Yes that is correct. Just one box that gives the detailed review/explanation. Anyone can fill out the form..but to read the details one would have to belong to a certain group.

[Sarcoth]

What you are talking about sounds like a forum control. The only way I see you accomplishing that with Easyforms is by posting the entire form to one post in one forum, and part of the form to a post in another forum. A few people have asked that question though, so you'll have to get creative in that respect.

[ascroft]

This is a neat mod - I have the following challenges in how to use it within my site - sorry if these have been asked before.......

1. Can the same form be used in more than one forum or do I need to copy the form for each? (I would like really to attach at the parent forum level - but not let it be used at that level.)

2. Do I use the hook feature to force the use of a particular form for the forum rather than say the standard thread post or reply ( I have a form for each)

3. This is probably ambitous but I would like to do more with emailing the form as well as posting to the thread. I would like to have it as a pdf with its own format - the idea here is listing a property for sale in the forum, and generating certain info in to a flyer that could be put in the window of the property but the format of the flyer wouldn't be the same as how it showuld be viewed in the thread.

[Halfhidden]

Hi this is a really cool mod.
I would like to ask a couple of questions please.
1 can the form be used to select a member from a group ****Edit found the answer to question 1 ****
2 can a form post to another form?
3 can there be a limit to how many posts can be made to a thread.

Reason why I'm asking these questions is that I wonder if it is possible to use Easy Forms to create a scoring system for games and quizzes. But for it to work you would have to be able to do the above.
Members chooses the winner of a game or quiz and the awards points. The form then posts the winners name and points to the next for that is the main score board.

I have installed this mod on my test site and have to say WOW!!:D

[sebbbl]

Hello,

A week ago, all entries in the form I created disappeared, without any reason. I had to ask my members to fill the form again. And now, some results again disappeared. It seems entries are deleted after a given period. Is there any stting about this ?

You would need to use the Form Hooks to achieve these.

1. If you only have a few sub-forums it would be easier for you to copy the form for each sub-forum.

2. You do not use the Form Hooks for this, instead use vBulletin hooks
Re-Directing the New Thread:
Create plugin newthread_start

if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))

3. this is too advanced for Easy Forms

[bananalive]

Hi,
i found this nice Mod, but i have to know if i can realize something.
In Version 3.7 i used a Mod called ADVPolls, but there is no Version for vb4.

It was possible that a User can weight the answers in a Poll.
I have a sports Forum and it should be possible for Users to type the table how it would be after the season.

Club A 5
Club B 4
Club C 3
Club D 1
Club E 6
Club F 2

The result after the answers from many users should be shown like that
Club D 1,3 (average of answers)
Club F 1,75 (average of answers)
Club C 3,3 (average of answers)
Club B 4,7 (average of answers)
Club A 5,2 (average of answers)
Club E 5,6 (average of answers)

Is something like that possible with this mod? If yes what have i to chosse to get this work?

Thanks for every answer!
greetings Kai

[Devil_Dog]

Thank you so much for this great mod.

I do need some help. When the form is filled out I have a thread created. When this is done the form's name is posted in the middle in big black font. How can I change the color? I use a dark theme and you can hardly see it.

Thanks in advance!!!

"Form Output Top BB code:"

Change the formatting as needed.

I do have a question of my own, however. I can't figure out how to use the copy form feature... I click the button and nothing happens?

[nakedanvil]

I need to set up a lending library on my site for members to check out books and videos. They need to be able to select from a list (check boxes?) or fill in titles and submit their name, address etc. This should then generate an email to our librarian. Would this be a good mod for doing that? Something else better?

In the message body, how should I write this:

if userid>0
write (url=http://domain.com/member.php/userid)username(/url)

[dynamicproducer]

is there a way in Form Actions to email all users of a usergroup?
i don't even think my email to users is working under Form Actions
any previous convos on that? i looked but hadn't seen anything.

[mtosborn]

Maybe I missed this in one of the pages, my eyes are starting to strain. Thus, forgive me if this has been answered, but is there anyway to put a background box behind the forms? My current forum BG is rather chaotic, thus making my questions a tad hard to read.

You would have to use the Form Hook: Before Submit to achieve that.

Query all email addresses and then add them to $form['email'], seperating them with semi colons ';'.

i don't even think my email to users is working under Form Actions
any previous convos on that? i looked but hadn't seen anything.
Just checked on my forum, email action does work.

Are your email settings, set correctly in admincp?

[bananalive]

In the message body, how should I write this:

if userid>0
write (url=http://domain.com/member.php/userid)username(/url)

You can use vbulletin conditionals in the custom output, e.g.

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']">

{vb:raw vbulletin->userinfo.username}
({vb:raw vbulletin->options.bburl}/{vb:link member, {vb:raw vbulletin->userinfo}})
</vb:if>

Do you have javascript enabled in your browser?

Have you uploaded easyforms.js to /clientscript/ folder in forum directory?

Next version (v4.1.9) includes support for those without JavaScript Enabled browsers.

They are currently sorted in the opposite direction. To change the sort direction,

Find in Easy Forms Part 3

arsort($qrs);

Replace with

sort($qrs);

Derr, javascript was disabled on my work PC.

Another question... is there a way to allow users to only create their own forms? The current option allows users to delete or edit other users' forms.

Thanks, appreciated :).

Create plugin with vBulletin Hook Location: newthread_form_complete with the following php code:
if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))
{
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ;
}

Change 1,2,3 for appropriate threadids.

Tested and works like a charm!
New thread is linking to forms, and you can make multiple ones, different forums to different forms...:up:

Danke. Now to go google how to do such ^^

[apokphp]

Can I change the name from "Forms" to "Surveys" somehow?

Since I'd like to use it as a survey for a debate board (where members vote on things about the debate thread)...can I do the following w/ it? And if so, how?

1) Display the survey at the top of the thread it refers to for members to take?
2) Display the survey results at the top of the thread after the member has taken the survey?

This is what would really make this mod ideal (at least for our community). Having to go out of the thread to take a survey and view results makes it seem like it is apart from the thread. And I'm tryuing to have this be as integrated as possible.

[nakedanvil]

Strange. The first time I made a test form, the title was bold, centered and size 5. Now when I go back to it, it is just plain. What changed? The BB code is still in "Form Output Top BB code" and I re-saved that section. BB codes ARE working, if I enter them directly in the title they work, but that screws up the breadcrumbs. Just tried in default style-same thing.

Also interesting, while the title is plain, the description is bolded.

Also, what is the best way to enter a block of text?

[sulasno]

can this mod do this ?

Admin or members of a private forum creates a form;

Members fill in the form and it gets posted to a private forum; (admin have no access to the private forum)

You could use radio buttons questions

And select form action 'save to database'

Then view 'Form Results as Poll'

But it's not possible to embed it in top of thread.

Another question... is there a way to allow users to only edit their own forms? The current option allows users to delete or edit other users' forms.

Thanks, appreciated :).
This is going to be added in v4.1.9

Is there a workaround so that I can run both products?

[CharlieDelta]

Great mod, our community has a great amount of uses for this.

I have one question, excuse me if it seems trivial;
How do I skip a question depending on the previous questions answer? For example,
Q#3. Do you own a microphone? If the answer is "yes" then skip to question #5. If the answer is "no" then on to question #4.
Q#4. When do you plan on purchasing a microphone?

Thank you in advance.

How do I have the member be sent back to the thread that the form refers to? I'm just not sure how to code it.

That is, if the form is about thread X...when the user completes the form, I'd like them to be sent immediately to thread X upon submission.

At what point is the error occurring? when you view a form? when you submit a form?

[Shamil.]

Just wandering, could I make the form public, then post information to it, from a script so:

Post data from a form on the main site, to the form on the forum (which is protected by vB permissions from guests).

Basically, can I interface with the forum without the user having to visit the form on the forum, or will I have CSRF issues?

[apokphp]

Amazing support banana. While this is not exactly what I am looking for, I'm sure I'll find a use for it and do appreciate the hard work and constant support you give to your product.

Great job man.

It would not bypass the permissions of the form on the forum. So non-registered users would receive a no permission message on submitting the form.

The problem is with one of 'Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count' plug-ins but there's an easy solution:

Edit plugin: Cyb - APBOUPC - G1 (CT)

Replace PHP Code with:
if ($vbulletin->options['apboupc_global_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='misc'))
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge((array)$globaltemplates, array('cyb_apboupc_globalset', 'cyb_apboupc_globalset_currbit'));

This works for question type 2: 'Yes/No Question'

[Inzvestor]

Superb. Less than 15 minutes from issue to resolution. That is the best IT / software support I have received

Now working too. Thanks for nailing it so quickly

[Shamil.]

It would not bypass the permissions of the form on the forum. So non-registered users would receive a no permission message on submitting the form.

Could permissions be set that only the forms are accessible to guests?

[bananalive]

Could permissions be set that only the forms are accessible to guests?

Yes, you can set usergroup permission on a per form basis when editing form

[bestword]

what is the change from 4.1.7 to 4.1.9?

[bearcub]

This is not due to the field lenths but the whole form output length. (So the thread/post you are trying to post is less than 10 characters)

Corrected thank you.

[nakedanvil]

Are you using the custom output now?


I'm not sure what you mean

1) Do you want to look at it? OK, I set permissions so you can view: HERE (http://blacksmith.org/forums/misc.php?do=form&fid=2) Just playing with the mod right now, dummy content.

2) I mean just adding some text (not a question) in the form.

[sulasno]

This mod should be part of vBulletin or at least be an option for the Admins

[bananalive]

what is the change from 4.1.7 to 4.1.9?

'vBulletin Options -> Easy Form Options' usergroup permissions have been made easier.

New option of only allowing users to edit/delete their own forms.

Collapsible Form Categories

New buttons at top of Form to easy editing/ result viewing

[bestword]

There would be better if the Categories could have (unlimited) sub Categories

1. The title looks fine to me?

2. Create Custom Question with the following PHP Code:
$text = "some text here...";

$answer = $text. '<textarea id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" rows="1" style="visibility: hidden;">' . $text . '</textarea>';

Hello, bananalive!

My base already has more then 400 entries, each entry has more then 10 columns, some cells could have a lot of chars, so excel export prepare file for 30 seconds now. Could you please give an option to turn off live export, but prepare export file by schedule?

Question 2. For example I had one of the option in drop-down menu named EG1, now i want to rename it to EG1-1 (EG1 -- is incorrect name), how to mass change it in base field which are already filled with wrong name?

Question 3. How to add "edit" link to thread post by easyform?

Question 4. If I delete one question for example "date", and there are a lot of answers on this question, will easyforms delete everything from base? Or it will affect only on new answers? And if so, how to delete all answers with question?

Thank you!

Thank you!

1. I'm not sure what you mean? (In v4.2.0 I'm adding option to export by last X results which would decrease time taken to export your results)

2. It would only affect new answers. You would have to manual edit each result and change it or use phpmyadmin and do a mysql replace() query

update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[string_to_find]','[string_to_replace]');

3. If you uncheck 'Save to Database' in Edit Form

Then add the following code to Form Hook: Before Submit:


if ($complete && !$show['editing'])
{
$sdata = serialize($qo);
$db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults
(fid, userid, username, time, title, output, sdata)
VALUES ('".$form[fid]."', '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."', '".$db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username'])."', ".TIMENOW.", '".$db->escape_string($threadtitle)."', '".$db->escape_string($formoutput)."', '".$db->escape_string($sdata)."')
");
if ($form[submitmessage])
{
$errormessage = $form[submitmessage];
}
else
{
$errormessage = "Form was submitted successfully.";
}

$formoutput .= "\r\n\r\nhttp://testsite/forums/misc.php?do=editformresult&id=" . $db->insert_id() . "&fid=" . $fid . "";
}

4. No if you delete a field it will not affect results already submitted, but it will remove the column from the form results table

[riskofficer]

Thank you!

Im sorry for my english, I will try to paraphrase.

1. Cron job, that will generate file by schedule, users can download only that file. Just an idea. Your suggestion is greate!

2. Thank you, is it possible to code that into Easyforms? So if I change the name of option, it will change it in base?

3. No-no, I meant only hyperlink to edit form result in database. We have this hyperlink in Form Results, how to add it to posts?

4. Thank you! And from export, yes?

[sulasno]

I hope suggestion to add sections to the form would be considered;

eg

2) Thank, I'll try it! I sure appreciate it.

I've installed thanks bananalive.

Just one thing. The viewing permissions is currently dependant on "View Forum" permission for the usergroup. Is there a way to make the mod independent of it?

[nakedanvil]

ct2k7: The possible permissions are set in AdminCP > options > easy forms options and the form permissions are set in the easy forms editor.

[Shamil.]

ct2k7: The possible permissions are set in AdminCP > options > easy forms options and the form permissions are set in the easy forms editor.

I understand that, but, setting view forum to no in usergroup permissions has wider implications. Is there anyway to bypass this?

[nakedanvil]

Sorry, misunderstood. I take it you want a guest to view the form but not your forums. Interesting problem.

[Shamil.]

Now I see. Wasn't understanding "output". I was thinking form display.

Try my form again please, you'll see now what I'm trying to do.

[Lazorbeam]

I want users to be able to create their own form, or simply copy a standard premade form. Right now, there is no way to allow my users to copy a from a standard form without also giving them the permission to delete other forms.

So I figured I would provide users with the xml of a premade form, and they could upload from there. But I'm getting the common permissions error:

Sterling, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Not sure what is causing this. Can anyone use the import feature?

Edit: Fixed by setting "Users are only allowed to edit forms they created" to no.

Edit 2: I would suggest further expanding the permissions area to something like this:

Usergroups allowed to view own forms.
Usergroups allowed to view all forms.

Usergroups allowed to copy own forms.
Usergroups allowed to copy all forms.

Usergroups allowed to delete own forms.
Usergroups allowed to delete all forms.

And so forth.

BananaAlive,

Is it possible to have one entry of the form, hidden from the Actual POST, until I have been able to check that the details that a member have entered, are indeed correct. Then, once I have confirmed that, I can approve that part of the form, and it will show in the actual post, along with the other info that a user has posted.

It is just one part of the form that I need to check - all the other details can be listed straight away.

Many Thanks.

When you import a form it creates a new form independent of all other forms.

If you go to form list, there will be 'Delete Form' link for each form.

[stastka]

Hi bananalive.

I'd like to thank you for this great mod!

However, there is one thing I can't figure out. Is it possible to post the form to custom page / subforum so that the users can fill in and submit the form there?

I apologize if somebody has already asked about this, but I didn't find it in about 30 pages of comments I read.

Thank you!

[sulasno]

users can fill in the form and submit the form to a designated forum depending on the creator of the form

[stastka]

I know users can submit their answers to the thread I choose, but that's not what I want. I want the form itself to be in the thread so they can fill it in when reading the thread (similar to polls) without having to go to forms tab.

[sulasno]

that would be allowing everyone to edit a common post

[Keith.Almli]

Is there anyway to stop this form from posting Stickys?

[bigrover]

Bananalive, I really love this mod. You have done a great job.

I have two observations for your consideration, but both are minor.

1. It would be cool if the variable syntax in the Thread/ PM/ Email Title: was the same as the custom output section. Specifically, qo_x recognized as valid input like q_x to output the answer to question x.

2. When using the tab key to move between fields in a form it advances the form as expected until it comes to a vBulletin editor question. The focus is placed in the field but the screen does not advance to make the question visible until additional characters are entered. A minor issue though.

Thank you for all the work you have put into this mod. Using tips you have sprinkled throughout this thread has enabled me to use the mod in ways I never thought possible when I first installed the mod.

[bigrover]

I am using this mod with the VS-HideHack mod to allow me to control what user groups can view certain fields. The bbcode [HIDE] tag works great in the final thread post, but apparently are not interpreted in the preview. I haven't tried other custom bbcode tags, but I am somewhat interested in the [TB] (table) tag that I have seen posted to provide additional format control over the posted results.

[Pvtiste]

This mod is awesome ! Thank you for your really good job :)
Just a quick question : is there a way to give the results access for a specific form ? I'd like my members can view the results for 1 form only but I didn't find the option.

Thank you again for your work and sharing!

Amazing mod!

1 question about a desired feature before I break it trying!

I am using this to submit vacation requests for employees, is there anyway to make it so after the request is submitted I can check approved or denied possibly with a comment box also, I am guessing this would have to be done on the Form results table somehow?

Thank you in advance

[Bobbo]

How would I go about sending an attachment when I am only using the Form Action, 'Email Form'?

Any ideas? Thanks!

[bposner]

I can't seem to get attachments to work. Probably me, but it allows me to add the attachment in the form, but does not attach to email with form is sent. It does not show up in the database listing. But it does show up if I point to forum.

thanks!

Yep, it's not you... I think the default vbmail() function wasn't set up to include attachments. Perhaps Bananalive will chime in here. I suspect he, or someone, would need to extend this out so that attachments could be included for mail.

Attachment support would be huge for me since I use the forms for managing data from a custom database, and the emails feed one of my backend help desk systems. Delivering data through attachments would make for a streamlined process.

[rfsforums]

Hi Bananalive - I've searched this thread and I didn't come across this. I've created a simple nomination form which has 1 question where a username is to be entered. I'd like to have the vbulletin autofill fuction for this field and real username validation on submit. Is this something that can be done?
Thanks again for this great mod and all your help!

[steve71]

We seemed to have lost the image verification field for guests. It produces an error when submitting saying the image did not match but it is nowhere to be found.

[Budget101]

You can allow attachments, when the form creates new thread.


is there any way to allow 'guests/unregistered' users to upload attachments?? This option doesn't show to unregistered users.

[bigrover]

I've noticed the vBulletin editor does not include the full functionality of the smilies feature. Specifically, not all of the smilies are available, either in the right-hand sidebar or the menubar. The sidebar does not display the 'More' link, and the menubar dropdown does not include the 'Show all Smilies'. This isn't a big deal for me, and the users haven't mentioned it yet.

The more I work with this mod, the more I like it. A few little quirks but solid performance on my system. I recommend this mod without reservation.

:up:

[Cadellin]

There probably is a good reason for this but could we have a feature where we could enter rules to condition the entry to certain field(s) based on another field?

Specifically I'm thinking of two drop down fields so the options would be known.

E.g.

field1 equals "Fruit"
therefore
field2 cannot equal "Vegetable"

[angelimnot]

I am having some issues after updating this mod.. its scrambling my answers...
its scrambling the date.. and its giving a 1-5 option from the drop down boxes instead of saying what it is the boxes mean.

[clubvr4]

Can anyone point me in the right direction so that i can remove the headers, navbar and footers from the forms?

Had a brief look at the Plugin Side but couldnt see reference to header/footer templates.

Thanks

[clubvr4]

Or, is there a widget out yet for using Forms with CMS?

[stl7997]

First, I love this mod and it will be great for the ideas I have for my site. Second, I apologize if this has been answered before. I've searched quite a bit and followed the instructions as mentioned but I'm just not getting the desired results.

I have created forms that I will use/edit (as the sole admin) but I only want registered users to be able to complete the form and view the Form Results Table and view the Form Results Poll.

I've tried all the combinations but I'm not getting the Form Results Table and Poll for normal registered users. I don't want registered users to edit/delete/copy/export or have form results access, only table and poll.

Can you please look at my configuration and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

[stl7997]

^^^^Disregard the above post, I figured a workaround. I just added a dropdown navbar tab and linked it to the Table results and also to Create a form entry. Then I chose not to show the form as a navbar or quick link option.

I do have another question though, how do I left align the description? and also enter a line break after my form title? The attached pictures show kinda what I'm asking.

Thanks for this mod, it's going to serve me well for my site!

[scottct1]

Nevermind. :)

[riskofficer]

Hello bananalive!

Could you please release new version of your mod :)) You told us that it has a lot of improvements.

And it it possible to hack Notices, so we could write Notices especcialy for EasyForms pages?

[ascroft]

One thought, is it possible please to add 'post to facebook' link?

[TeknoSounds]

Problem:
Custom "Thread Title" and "Form Output Top BB code" output doesn't match custom code.
Each had:
{q_2} - {q_1} @ {q_3} - {q_4}

But the thread title output: q2 - q1 @ - q3
Form Output showed: - @ -

q1 = single line
q2 = date
q3 = single line
q4 = radio button

Requests:
Seconded for the "post to facebook" possibly as an option upon form submission as well?

When selecting a certain radio button or checkbox it activates/deactivates use of another question, i.e. choose a radio button and it activates use of a text box.

[fortforum]

Hey,

I do have another question though, how do I left align the description? and also enter a line break after my form title? The attached pictures show kinda what I'm asking.

Thanks for this mod, it's going to serve me well for my site!

Bump?

[ahmedipa]

I want to thank you again for develop this product

I have new Idea for the next version and 4.2.0

adding new feature

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=123415&stc=1&d=1288953353

you can improve it , I believe that you have greater Idea than me

[ahmedipa]

the new feature that I hop to add it in the next version

as the attached

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=123416&stc=1&d=1288955525


if it is not possible near of my idea

thank you very much

[x9751]

A question, I use this for applications and i would like to make it so they have to have a certain amount of post before they can use the form. Is that possible?

[ascroft]

Hi there

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

I am not quite sure what this means - I was hoping it meant the person completing the form could select the forum that they want to post into?

Is there a bit more detail about the syntax for this please?

[ascroft]

Sorry, one other thing.

I was hoping there could be a way from the answer to a question to send that as a parameter and display a google map within the post - or post a URL that could be clicked on to show the map.

The question might be - "What is your address?" (for example) :-)

Many thanks.

Mark

Hello BA,

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

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

Many Thanks.

[kingMOB]

Hi,

we have a forum were the threads are moderated and need to be approved. When using vB 3.6 and the Easy Forms plugin in it, all the forms (created as new threads) were placed in the moderation list. Now with this new version, the plugin ignores the permission rules of the forum and publishes the forms (as new threads) directly to the forum.

Is this a bug or there's some kind of configuration that I need to set so the forms goes to themoderation list?

Thanks

[andie215]

Hi, great mod but could someone please show me how to link a form from the "post new thread" icon :o
Thanks in advance :)

[wolfey]

OK...hopefully this is easy

On the email output..how can I make the format correct instead of **__ being displayed

Probably need to be HTML output?

Thanks!

[ascroft]

Andie215 - you need to add a new plug in to the form newthread_form_start.

I am using the syntax:

if (in_array($forumid, array(56,9999)))
{
header( 'Location:/listings/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ;
}

You will need to modify the forumid and formid (56 and 1 respectively in the above) to what you are using on your site.

[Injustice]

Basically, I have {q_15} as the thread title, how do I then remove {q_15} question and answer from the post body?

[SBKTR]

Where it says this: This question is for guests only in the form.

Can that be made to where certain questions are answerable or viewable by only certain member groups.

Meaning, most of the form anyone could fill out and see, but some questions and answer on the form can only be answered and seen by certain user groups. THAT is what I'm looking for.

THANKS

I do have the hack for 3.8 installed it's just under another name, not this one. If you need me to click installed I will.

[Bravo]

I couldn't find it anywhere so I'll ask.

Does anyone have a custom form like a moderator application that they willing to share?

Thanks

[CharlieDelta]

Is there a way to stop created threads being posted as unapproved? I don't want to have to approve each thread created.

Thanks

I am having the same problem. I have triple checked all the permission settings for the usergroup, forum, easy form and the form itself. It was working fine and all submissions were being approved and now suddenly they are submitted unaproved.

Any ideas???

[Shanj]

Ban thanks for your outstanding work both code and support.

I would like to make a post appear in multiple destinations - a pre-set list of threads for the form.

I tried putting a comma separated list of thread ID numbers in the box
"Threadid where Post is Created:"
It sent the post to the first ID only so clearly not coded yet.

Can this be changed so I can put a list of thread IDs.

[maryx]

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

The above is all I get when I try to post a form. All field minimums are set to zero.

I am having the exact same problem with my form #2. My form #1 is working just fine, and it is hardly different. My error message is
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters.

All field minimums are set to 0. Members were complaining that they filled in the form completely, and got back that response. I did also when I did a test.

I found out what I did wrong - I had copied the fields from my Form #1, and the field numbers are different in each form (of course). So, create new forms from scratch, not by copying your old ones.

[NovoCiv]

This is amazing. 5/5 mod, nominated, thank you for this.

[maryx]

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' ) ;
}

This is great! Thanks!

But I have 2 forums where each one uses a different easy form. Forum id 65 uses easyform #1,
Forum id 66 uses easyform #2

How would I code the php plugin for this? Thanks very much!!!!

[RWerksman]

I seem to be having a problem with the display of dates - every date that is entered displays as:

[chorton]

I may have missed this in the 59 pages but is it possible to IMPORT data into the form?
I have a form all layed out but would like to be able to import csv files directly into the forms table.
hope this makes sense.

[mobe00]

I have a question. I use this mod on a garden koi pond page so people can register their water values/parameters when they measure this in their pond. For them to keep an online archive of their water values.

How can i for example make an bb code or something similar for the members so they can add their last measuremen as an signature when they post on the forum ? And is it possible to choose which of the formfields to show in that signature. Right now they can fill out 18 formfields but lets say i just wanna show 6 of them in the signature in colums, like on the first pic.

[mobe00]

bump..any ideas here ? this is how i want it to look out when it pulls data from easy forms into a signature

[NovoCiv]

bump..any ideas here ? this is how i want it to look out when it pulls data from easy forms into a signature

I would recommend using a Custom BBCode. So they could put like, Username and it would parse as the box you want. Then I would have the BBCode set to make a table that calls upon the data for the user specified. This data is in your database somewhere.

If I knew more php I could help with the details, but unfortunately all I can do is come up with concepts.

[SBKTR]

I need this in the form.

Answers to be seen only by certain group ID's.

You may have 10 questions that everyone can answer but only a certain user group can see the answer to it.

I need to be able to select WHAT GROUP can see answers on an individual question.

I don't think I could possibly extol the virtues of this mod enough. It's going to save me more time and effort that any other thing on the planet possibly could.

[kvnband]

I searched the mod thread but cannot find any mention of this:

We need to elect 3 new members for a committee position but have 6 candidates. Since we have 10 committees, the multiple checkbox setup is obviously the way to go. But how do we limit the user to only selecting 3 selections? And this is different for every committee. For some committees, we might have 2 spots or 4 spots available.

If this isn't already possible, can it be added? This is a SWEET product and having this functionality would make it absolutely perfect for us.

When using the results to post a new thread, the new thread seems to be ignoring all forum moderation rules and viewing permission settings.

For example, we have a forum that requires a moderator to approve a thread before it becomes visible. Once the thread is visible, only the original poster and members of a specific usergroup can view it. However, when Easy Forms creates the thread after form submission, the new thread is not put in the moderation queue and can be viewed by anyone. Is there a workaround for this?

[teamshultz]

How can I change the color of the * that follows required questions?

I've tried the replacement variable manager, but that screws up the title of some threads that have *'s in them.

SOLVED:
In AdminCP, I clicked "Search in Phrases". In "Search for Text", type *. In the Product drop down box, select "Easy Forms" and click "Find".

Click "Edit" beside "form_compulsory_symbol".

In the Translation box, type <font color="red">*</font> changing "red" to the color of your choice.

[ceho]

Hi there,

I tried to figure it out myself by checking the templates and stuff and searching this thread but didn't succeed.

So I ask for help: on the output form, how can I increase the space between the questions section on the left and the reply area on the right.

Please see the attached image, where the red arrow is I want to create a bigger distance.

Could you please tell me how I can do this?

Thanks a lot and keep up the great work (and do not drop supporting vB mods please!).

[ascroft]

Hi - I can use the forms fine to control a new post in a forum, but now I want to use forms on replies to posts. Note quite working for me.....

More specific questions:

1. What should the hook be set to - presently is newreply_form_start - is this right?
2. In the form I have set the option to Post in Thread (but with no threadid) - is this right?
3. The code in the hook is:

if (in_array($forumid, array(56,9999)))
{
header( 'Location:/listings/misc.php?do=form&fid=12' ) ;
}

where 56 is the forum and 12 is the form

This format is what worked in in the new post form.

Suggestions welcome!!

Hey all - I know it has been a long time since I posted my problem back in post #321 but I finally found a solution to this.

The mod SEOForums.org Advanced SEO META Tags for vBulletin (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237500) conflicts with this mod (well at least on my install it does).

I'm currently running 4.1.0.PL2

Once I disable that mod, everything works perfectly. (Actually disabling it fixed a few other problems not related to this mod as well...)

I'll be uninstalling that one and keeping this one.

ok here is my question...i see what you did in post #64 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1970439&postcount=64) and that is make it so you can choose an answer that is a thread title that is in a certain forum....now can you make it so that is the thread that the results go to from the form?...aka user can choose what thread in a forum the results go to every time with out having to go to that thread/s every time?

I was wondering about updating as we have multiple forms. I have exported all of the forms but I assume that the update will not affect them and I will not have to import them again? I seem so recall than when you import forms it changes all of their Q field numbers that output specific fields and would require editing each form.

Also...it would be great if the option to select the location (forum ID) a form will be output was integrated as a user field so they could select it while filling out the form. This way we could just use one form for all as the only variable is the users location.

[interfx]

Is there a way to make the table output sortable by clicking on the table header title? ie. when you click on "Tell Us your Name" it will sort the output alphabetically?

It would be a great improvement if the user could select the output forum of an easy form.

We are using easy forms for users to advertise in different cities. Currently it requires creating one for each city. If the users could select the forum output (city) then one easy form could be used for all locations.

How to change this variable $form[submitlimitperuser] per user?

I created new extra field in Vb for users, so only admin can edit it. For example it'll be field10.
Then for user1 i changed the value of this field to 1 and for user2 to 2 for example.
I need to know how to limit number of submitting form per user's field10.

[MikeWarner]

you would have to create a plug in in admincp/plugin manager

you would put some code in it like this if (in_array($forumid, array(5)))
{
header( 'Location: http://www.hillbillygold.com/forums/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ;
}

heres a pic of what the plug in looks like

added: hook location newthread_start you will have to edit the part that describes the forum you want to make the thread open in array(5)))

and you will have to edit the form&fid=1' one is the form number im useing all forms have their own numbers

oh yes and of course you will have to replace the www.hillbillygold.com partI've followed this exactly, but it isn't working. Instead of going to the form, it goes to the normal new thread page.

Assuming I've inputted this correctly, is there any other reason why this might be stopped from working? i.e. setting conflict, vbseo..... etc. Many thanks.

You must update the q fields (if you are calling up q fields) after making a copy.

Thread/ PM/ Email Title:
{q_228}

You can use a conditional (FORUMDISPLAY) to direct members to a form from certain forums.


<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">

You can also use a conditional to redirect only certain member groups.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 25) AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(1,2,3,10,11))">

[SBKTR]

I don't have a problem with the q fields. I made a copy of one of the forms. On the COPY there is no edit or delete button to get rid of it. There is an edit/delete field on the original, NOT on the copy.

[printedgear]

I'm just not a good searcher I guess and I'm too novice at this. Can somebody direct me how to make a form I've created mandatory for a reply to a post. For example, when they click "Reply to thread" the form comes up.

I got it - I didn't click the option to show forms in the quick links. From there I found the form URL and posted it to the link in the forum setup.

How can I put a button on the user's screen to export the data to excel? This would be awesome for me. Thanks!

I think the issue might be that copied forms do not have a 'creator'. In attached file I've altered it so copied forms have the same creator as the form being copied.

Thanks Bananna,

Can it be modified or updated to allow a filter on the output table? For example - a dropdown on the column heading that will allow the entire table to be filtered by that value. Like a dropdown for States and when Virginia is selected, only virginia rows are shown.

Hi, how can i redirect to a different url based on yes or no answer?
Form Hook: Before Submit:

if ($q['1']==2)
{
$form['redirecturl'] = "http://url1.com";
}
else
{
$form['redirecturl'] = "http://url2.com";
}

1 is the question hash

I'm getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/****/public_html/forums/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code(1299) : eval()'d code on line 1

Do you have more details?

What page?
