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

[Elenna]

Good afternoon!

We are wanting to set up a few forms to act like a database of sorts, and would like the navigation buttons (shown while viewing each form or results) to change depending on the form they have open.

For example, there are two forms, one for adding details about your pets and another for adding details about your shoes. While viewing the form itself or the Results, we'd like the button images to be customized to say "View Form" to"Add New Pet" / "Add New Shoes", or "View Form Results" to "View Pets" / "View Shoes", etc.

If that makes sense? Is there a conditional that I could use to modify those sorts of things?

[Karma]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anybody was having the issue of the form menu not appearing in the navbar or in the quick links section and had fixed it. I've checked all the permissions a bunch of times and changed the styles thinking maybe I did something but nothing seems to work. I see a user above has the same issue but not sure if he finally got it solved. Hope to hear back from anyone about this issue. Here is the board:

http://karma.tc/ethereal

I re-enabled the navbar so you can take a look. I'd like to get it working as part of the actual menu.

[smirkley]

New navbar settings and variables in 4.2,... insert it manually in acp.

New navbar settings and variables in 4.2,... insert it manually in acp.

Hey, thanks for the answer. I thought about doing it before but I guess I just didn't. Last question though, how can I make it so that the new tab can only be seen by Administrators? Under 'Show permission name' I tried putting in like administrator and such but of course it didn't work. I'm not sure on how to do that, I was just playing around with that.

PS: Is it possible to make the form post in 2 different threads? I see it says Post New Thread and allows me to select 1 so I thought maybe a little edit somewhere could make it so that it's capable of posting in 2?

Love the mod by the way! Absolutely loving it! Excellent job banana!

Who is using the table form results? Is there a way to make it searchable and allow a photo upload to table form results?

[The Realist]

Regarding the below posts.

Im trying to do the same thing with no luck so see if I can explain.

Section created called for sale and I need the post new thread button to go to the form I've created and once filled it the for sale advert is created as a thread in the sale section.

What do I need to edit, change etc?

Been away from VB for a while and lost the will to think :)




1. Vbulletin AdminCP -> New Plugin
Hook location: newthread_form_start
Php code:
if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2)))
{
header( 'Location: http://www.youriste.com/forums/misc.php?do=form&fid=8' ) ;
}

2. Add the following to the custom php question, do you get the right forumid (46) at the top of the form?
print_r($form['forumid']);

Hello,
i have two question to this mod:

1.)
How can i link the "new thread"-button of a forum to a form?
In a forum with the ID = 46 the "new thread" should be replaced by a form with the ID = 4
If someone like to create a new thread, he should use the form nr. 4, wich "Post a new Thread" in the forum.

2.)
The forum above MUST have a prefix, but not always the same prefix => users should be able to use a prefix that fits to the form.
I created a custom question with the following php-code inside:
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];
if (!$form['forumid'])
{
$form['forumid'] = 46;
}
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true);
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">';
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';
$answer .= $prefix_options;
$answer .= '</select>';
The question will be shown on the form, but there are no prefixes displayed! How can i get it running?



Can anyone give me a help please?

kr Chris

This works fine, now the button "New Thread" roots to the form :D

but:
This won't work :(
The forum-id is correct (it's from my liveforum)
Can you give me a "step by step" instruction, what i have to do, that a dropdown-field with the prefixes of a specified forum will be shown?

The form should create a new thread in forum-id = 46, and the prefixes of this forum sould be listed in the form, cause they are required for a new thread!


kr Chris

Try this php code instead:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = 46;
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true);
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">';
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';
$answer .= $prefix_options;
$answer .= '</select>';

THANKS! That did the job, works fine ;)

Anyone on the above?

[jaybolt]

HI - I have tried to find an answer in and amongst the 100 pages here but it is difficult to search for "PM" as your issue!

My Easy Form isn't sending notification PMs to the two names in the settings. I have installed it on Version 4.2.0 (I had the previous version working on older version forum and had no issues with it).

Is there anything obvious I should be looking for? Any setting or permission I may have missed?

[Heaven]

Thank you so much for this, I love it.

[richardevans123]

I have a question.

I'd like to have a quiz using the forms, and If a user gets 7 out of 10 or higher, then they are promoted to the next rank automatically. Is there any special coding that I need to add to do this?

Thanks

EDIT: Also, is there a way to close certain forms and not have members fill it out, whilst still having other forms open?

Thanks

[Sios]

So I've changed my: /forum.php/ to /index.php/ ...

[fwulfers]

This is a very good mod and I am planning to use it for a Marketplace forum section. I have seen these same questions in this thread before but haven't found a solution yet.

1. All new threads should go through these forms. When you disallow users to post new threads directly in the forum, it will show an error message when they want to upload attachments with the forum. Is there a way to fix this or remove the New Thread button for these specific forums?

2. Even better, when the New Thread button is clicked, it will direct you to the forms page. Is there a way to set this up?

Some bugs or issues

I got emailed someone's submission to the form I created.

#1
On top of the email, I get this

*[SIZE=5]Moderator Application*
_[SIZE=3]Qualifications_*Frequency Visits* Daily *Membership Period* 2+ Years *Statement of Faith* I believe that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners....that He is the Son of the one and only God. That He is the only way of Salvation. His world the Holy Bible is the true Word of God.


#2
Email did not mention the username that filled the form.

#3
Buttons messed up? Screenshot attached.

I was going to edit the button class info in form_edit, but your template has errors in it. If I save the default unmodified template I get this:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(5432) : eval()'d code on line 135

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(5432) : eval()'d code on line 168

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(5432) : eval()'d code on line 292

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

#4
More bugs with html output/mis alignment.

Thanks :)

hello together.
First I want to thank you for this great modification!

However, I have a question for a problem and hope someone can help me: Every form results will be published as a new thread. Now it often happens that a user, moderator or admin changes this form later. Is it possible that the changes made ​​are also changed in the thread?
If no, then it is possible to post the changed Form as a Post in the thread that was createt ??

I really hope someone can help me. Over 200 (and more) users to use the form on the day it is very difficult to edit the thread and the form. The form is important because the statistics and export function for Excel. The thread is important for the user who filled out the form.

I hope someone has an idea!

Hi and sorry for the double post!

i use this code in a custom qo! It works! BUT: in the results_table, results_poll and in the output (Thread) the answer of the Question is only the Forum ID (See @ Screens). It it possible to save the Forumtitle and not the Forum id in the Database/ Thread ?

I again,

I have created a custom question which only the forum title outputs when the form called. That works also. Unfortunately, in the database and the thread just shows "-". Maybe someone can help me with this problem? Here is the code:

$answer = '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];
$threads =$db->query_read("SELECT title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
WHERE forumid = '$fid'");
while($row = $db->fetch_array($threads)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[threadid].'"';
if ($row[threadid] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[title].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>';

[Gamelobby]

Weird issue..

I have used this for years, & the form that i have using still works fine, but i added a new one & it has issues.?
Since it was having issues i updated this mod, but nothing changed, the new form still doesn't work & the old one still works fine.

The issue of the new form is that it will post in the correct thread, but only the title.. the post is basically blank (except for username & title) none of the questions or answers.

Here is what i have in the Form Output Styling.. (custom form output)

{username} - {formtitle}

{qn_1}
{qo_1}

{qn_2}
{qo_2}

{qn_3}
{qo_3}

{qn_4}
{qo_4}

{qn_5}
{qo_5}

{qn_6}
{qo_6}

{qn_7}
{qo_7}


**edit**

Ok i got that issue fixed, it was the question numbers, they weren't 1-7 they were like 72-80 or something.

But my next question/issue is the bbcode doesn't seem to be working. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to have it look nice.
bbcode is not affecting the post whatsoever.

Here is what i have in the Form Output Styling

Thanks!

For anybody else who's butting up against a 5000 character form length, the answer for me was that I was sending a copy of the form via Private Message, and that's where the character limit was.

Seem to be getting an error on this with PHP 5.3:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type mysqli_result as array in /var/www/vhosts/URL/httpdocs/forum/forms.php on line 1242

Line 1242 is:

$formbit['value'] = $q[$formbit[id]];

Everything I've read re that error relates to the query_read line a few lines up - whether vB or not vB:

$formbits = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formbits WHERE fid = $fid ORDER BY displayorder ASC"));

If I change this to :

$formbits = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formbits WHERE fid = $fid ORDER BY displayorder ASC"));

...I can get the page but not the actual form itself. Replacing all similar lines has no effect either. Anyone else had this, edited the forms.php file and got this working?

[Vitaris]

These forms are still working perfectly on my 4.2.2 installation. (Thanks, banana! It's been a life saver!)

I have a question, though. I'm creating a form where I'd like my members to post their forms anonymously. That is, not under their usernames. I am happy to have their forms posted with my own, instead, if needed. (It's for a Secret Admirer event for Valentine's, and I don't want them to spoil the mystery by having the form posts reveal their identities.)

Is this possible?

[bananalive]

These forms are still working perfectly on my 4.2.2 installation. (Thanks, banana! It's been a life saver!)

I have a question, though. I'm creating a form where I'd like my members to post their forms anonymously. That is, not under their usernames. I am happy to have their forms posted with my own, instead, if needed. (It's for a Secret Admirer event for Valentine's, and I don't want them to spoil the mystery by having the form posts reveal their identities.)

Is this possible?

Post to thread

Then add to hook: Form Hook: Before Submit:

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['username'] = 'Guest';

[Vitaris]

Banana, you are a legend. Thank you so much for all that you do for us! It's appreciated. :)

[Trevor Hannant]

Installed these on a 4.2.2 installation on another server running PHP5.3 and they work fine - so there's something screwey at the server side. Oh well, back to the drawing board...

[ReactionShot]

Hey BananaLive,

The group I'm with wants to attempt to create a field that will determine where the form information is output. For example, say I wanted to make a form that output to a different post depending on what category it was: Food, News, and Videos. I already have a thread created specifically for each one so the form would output to a specific thread depending on which option I selected.

Is that possible within EasyForms or is there a way I can modify it to complete this objective?

Thank You!

Does anyone have the PHP plugin code to allow me to manually create a new thread in a specific forum when a form is submitted? I have configured Easy Form in the settings to post on submission to a forum, but I would like a way to have a second, new thread be created on submission as well.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in ..../forms.php on line 771

Any way i can fix this ?

also the forms are not showing in my navbar nor my quick links, i had to access the forms directly from the url being /forum/forms.php

awesome mod though just what a person like me needs :)

There is an addon here that does allow members to post anonymously in select forums. If the form is posted in that select forum then the one that posted the form would in fact post it anonymously...
Not sure if it is available for vb4.... good luck...

Try creating a form at yourforum.com/forums/forms.php?do=newform

Hello,

When I try and do that, it says 404 file not found, even tho I have uploaded the files, and imported the plugins.

[blind-eddie]

Is you forum in a folder named forums or forum..?

Add forms.php?do=newform to the URL where ever your forum is located

Example:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forms.php?do=newform
or
https://vborg.vbsupport.rus/forms.php?do=newform
or
http://www.vbulletin.org/forms.php?do=newform

[orangedays]

[msmayz]

Hi! I need a little help. How can I allow my users to select the subforum into which their form results will be posted?

Edit: Never mind; saw this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2232962#post2232962) and was able to extrapolate my own code based on it.

[msmayz]

Sorry for the double post. I do have another question: What code would I use to allow my users to choose a thread prefix? Maybe something like this? (The prefix IDs For_Sale and For_Trade are already built into my forum.)

if (stristr($qo['4'], "Sale")) {
$prefixid = For_Sale;
}
elseif (stristr($qo['4'], "Trade")) {
$prefixid = For_Trade;
}


Edit: Again, never mind. Found this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2105915&postcount=879), and it works -- now my users can choose their thread prefix.

[KGodel]

Aside from the "special characters" bug, I have unregistered/not logged in unable to view a form, yet when it is submit, I guess the timeout occurs and it allows them to submit the form? I simply added a check beforehand to make sure if they were marked as 0 then give them a warning

[Froggyv]

I am confused regarding what the forms actually do. Does it give me a formatted style for posts or is it a form for emails or what?

[bananalive]

It can do both.

Form can Submit to:

new thread in forum
new post in thread
new pm to user
email address
save to database


You can customise formatting too.

Still looking for this, but also another question:

Is there a way to determine what forum you want a new thread posted to (if that is the option selected) based on an answer to one of the questions? So, for example, you have a list where you can choose "a,b,c, or d"and depending on which option you pick it will both to a different forum. This would be very useful! Can it be done with hooks?

[iraqiboy90]

Since upgrading Easy Forms to 4.2.6, one of my forms isn't working properly. This section of the before submit isn't catching:

if (stristr($qo['88'], "Large")) {
$form['forumid'] = 112;
}
elseif (stristr($qo['88'], "Mini") ) {
$form['forumid'] = 113;
}
elseif(stristr($qo['88'], "Tiny")) {
$form['forumid'] = 114;
}
I haven't changed anything else (and other parts of the same before submit are working)... how can I fix this?

ETA: Fixed it... changing the $form['forumid'] to just $forumid seems to have corrected it. Can anyone tell me why this happened? I'm happy to have figured it out through trial and error, but I would love to learn.

cant get this working at all.....

I've tried elseif(stristr($qo...if ($qothis
$form['forumid']
and even
$forumid

[bananalive]

Try in_array() rather than stristr()

Hi !
I use this mod, but when i put several questions with the vb editor, they display the same answer as the last. So, I can't use more than one question with vb editor.

[robbyg]

I am new here and just installed 4.2.2 and pretty much have my forum setup.
I saw Bannalive excellent addon and its exactly what I was looking for but I need to use it in a slightly different manor than intended.

What I would like to do is have a Navbar button that allows my members to register their equipment by manufacturer, model, Year and serial number.

I created a form with all the fields etc and it works like a charm except that everybody can see what each person has. Now I know this was the main intent of the addon but in the options I have been able to limit it that it says "your form results" and no other options but the problem is that if i use a regular member account and they click on the record they saved it comes back and says:

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

This happens even if they have the only filled out form in the database. (made by the test user with regular access). If I go in and change the settings they can see everything and also see polls of all the data, which is something I don't want.

Even in the current mode I have no way of turning off the ability of a regular user to create a new form or import an xml form without also blocking them from seeing anything.

Basically I would like them to be able to access the form i made and put in their info and have it saved so they can come back and see it if they need to but not be able to see other users data. Only the moderator would be able to see all the data and be able to coordinate the data so we can create an anonymous table of serial numbers for each model by year.

(Using a Mountain bike forum for example)
For example the benefit to the members is lets say they wanted to know based on a serial number what year a particular model of mountain bike was made. The data we would have would show that based on information from our members that we know that serial number 10030 to 10950 is the earliest and oldest we have recorded for 2010. So if they are buying a used bike once they ask for the serial number they have an idea of when it was manufactured or sold.

They also have the benefit that if their bike is stolen they can look at the website and see what the serial number it was and even have records for bikes they may have bought and sold over the years.

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to explain what I am trying to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am so close to making this work if I could just figure out why they cannot see their own record without seeing the others and also be able to turn off the create new form without disabling the whole thing for the regular members.

Thank you for any help.
Robert

[MGO_TOM]

Hello, I just realized there seems to be a bug with this…

I have it setup to create new posts in a couple of sub-forums where I want specific information to be included in the posting. That part works great. :)

The issue is, I am finding that NONE of the posts in these two sub-forums are being indexed for searching. Somehow, Easy Forums is bypassing whatever script is causing new posts to be indexed for searching (via vBulletin's built-in DB Search).

I am running vBulletin v4.2.2 Patch Level 1

TIA,

[Trevor Hannant]

Anyone got this running with vB 4.2.2 on a server using PHP 5.3.10 with Suhosin (I know, I know - not my choice...)?

[robbyg]

Is this Addon abandoned?

[robbyg]

Unfortunately I believe this Mod has been abandoned. There are several major problems with it such as the permissions don't work properly.

Does anybody know of anything that is similar that I might try?

[djbaxter]

Works fine for me vB 4.2.2 PL1

[robbyg]

I am also using 4.2.2 sp1 and I have not been able to make the permissions work as described.
A user cannot be blocked from editing another persons form unless you also block them editing or even seeing their own form. Most of the permissions just dont work as they are supposed to.

[djbaxter]

None of that is true in my installation. Either you are doing something incorrectly or you have a conflict with another add-on.

[robbyg]

Can you limit a user to only seeing the forms they filled out?
Kind of like them having private info that only them or an admin can see?
Because that also does not work on mine.

[djbaxter]

Yes. That is essential for my purpose

[robbyg]

Thanks, I am going to retry this installation and see what happens.
I will let you know one way or the other if I have any luck.

[robbyg]

Still no luck with easy forms and permissions.
For an Admin it works fine but a regular member unless I change the settings to the point where he can see everyones information it will not work.

This is what the user see's after he fills out the form and its saved to the database and the comes back to see his data.

Forms
Serial Number Registry
Your Form Results

If he clicks on the "Your Form Results" he gets.
____________________________________________
Tester1, 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
__________________________________________________ __

As an admin I can see his form just fine.

Under the form permissions I have it set like this.

See attachment #1

Under Easy forms settings I have it set like this: See attachment 2-5



Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have everything working except I cannot get a registered user to be able to see their own information while not being able to see every one's. I am feeling real stupid right now:erm:

I think you are confusing permissions.

Editing forms (i.e. Form 1 created by user1, Form 2 created by user 2) and editing form results (ie. what user 3 and user 4 have submitted to form 1) are two separate permissions.

[bananalive]

Can you limit a user to only seeing the forms they filled out?
Kind of like them having private info that only them or an admin can see?
Because that also does not work on mine.

You can currently do, this by adjusting permissions.

For a form by form basis, you can use attached and edit permission 'Form results database' (under edit form -> form permissions.

Did you try to access them via the admincp? If you go into Settings>Options and find the Easy Forms and double click on it, at the top is a link in the top box that you add permissions for usergroups. Try that.

Add the month/year/date to php variables in the Form PHP hooks, then use those variables in the custom output.

It is unclear on what help you are requesting. Only the original author can update the released modification here on vBulletin.org.

my problem is

I have triple checked all the permission settings for the user group, forum, easy form and the form itself. I want all submissions being they are submitted to be unapproved.

and want to do select a specific time (like 24 hourse) so that member would be able to re- fill the form again, can i do it by ip members and guest too

[kh99]

Regarding the issue that was being discussed here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=315024 : HM666, you could try adding this line before the "while" that's a few lines before 1242:
$q = array[];


but as I mentioned in the other thread, that won't really be right bcause it won't have any values. I think it may be that your button needs to submit a form with some hidden data. Although it could also be a bug that was never noticed before because warnings were suppressed.

I see that you posted in the Paid Services forum, that may be the best idea after all.

This is not built into this mod that I know of so what you are looking at wanting would need to be specially coded from a PHP coder.

Actually I was able to call up the form using

$q = array();

That actually fixed it! :)

Yeah, that was a typo, it should have been parens and not square brackets. Anyway, glad you got it figured out.

Ah ok yeah me too. When I put it in with the brackets I still had an error, but I looked in the code of the file and noticed that after almost every array it was () so figured I had nothing to lose. The worse it would do is crash things and I could just change it right back and get it back lol.

Thanks for the solution. just to be on the right track. you replace this with your code:

$formbit['value'] = $q[$formbit[id]];

replace with this:

$q = array();

Actually it was supposed to go before the 'while' statement which is a few lines above line 1242. But I'm thinking that you might be able to just comment out line 1242 (the one you posted), because of course an empty array isn't going to set any value.

That looks fine.

Do you have any special characters in the form question(s)?

Yes, if any special characters are on questions or answers, the form result it's blank

[Taringa! CS]

Taringa is correct. It's the issue we are having as well.
Have you fixed it? Thanks

[Zeus1221]

So I've created a form with the easy forms plugin, I've used this plugin a lot and know how it works and how to use it correctly. My problem is that whenever I try submit this particular form it shows this;

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters.

I edited the minimum amount of characters per post to 1 and it still shows the error.

I was wondering what could be causing this ?

Will provide screen shots if necessary.

Anyone else having a problem with Unregistered/Guest authors?

Since 4.1.4 PL2 all submissions that take longer than 15 minutes to complete (vb session timeout period) show up with a userid=0 and display as Unregistered/Guest thread authors. Perhaps the vb update was just a coincidence, but it started on the same day.

I know it is very very old post, but i'm facing the same situation. I'm running vB 4.2.2 PL 4 and EasyForms 4.3.0.
I've verified the fact that it is not checking the session upon form submit ... reproducing is easy ... open a form and start filling it, then open another tab in your browser and logoff from forum. Then go back to the tab with the form and submit it. Form is submitted under your name BUT the userID gets saved as "0" => Guest.

Any ideas how to fix this? Might be some hook issue or something?

Thank you in advance

Holy

EDIT: Ok, i figured it out ^^

Open forms.php and search for: (around line 112)
if ($_POST['do'] == 'postform')
{

Add following code bellow the curly bracket :
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
standard_error(fetch_error('session_timed_out_logi n'), '', false, 'STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN');
}

Save, upload, profit :]

Hi all

Just installed this mod for a "recipe database" we want to build.

I have created a plugin as per this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2404481&postcount=1765

And modified it as per this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2404494&postcount=1767

in order to create a new form on the "New Thread" button for the applicable forum

My code is as follows:

if (in_array($forumid, array(45)))
{
header('Location: http://www.myforum.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=1') ;
}

Where my forum_id is 45 and form_id =1

Execution order is 5, plugin is active.

But nothing happens when I create a new thread in the applicable forum - it just starts a new post as per normal.

So what have I done wrong?

The location URL works fine.

vbulletin version is 4.2.2 PL4

[kh99]

Which hook location are you using for your plugin? The plugin at the first link uses a different hook than the modified one at the second link.

It should be newthread_form_start if you want it to happen when a new thread is started.

Does any one know if its possible to make it where I can as an admin fill out a form and then PM the results to a member of my choice without having to create a new form for each member I have to do this for? There is an option to PM members and you can list the usernames, but I would only want to PM a certain form result to a certain member from the same form. I would be creating a quote for work and then sending it to a member via PM. Is it possible to set this up?

[Skyrider]

From the few posts above "newreply_form_start" hook plugin (that is mentioned in other posts), will this make it possible that each new reply in threads will make a form of which replies in that specific thread you created the reply in?

We have a special section on our forums which requires custom forms that the user is required to fill in. However, this section only works on new thread forms, and posting it in a specific thread. What I need is when a user is replying in a thread a user has made, it shows up a list of required forms of which will also be posted in the users thread, rather than a specific one.

I get the following error when trying to submit a form:

To access forms you literally visit www.yourforum.com/forms.php

From there (/forms.php) you click "add / edit" etc

When a user click on the form button he has to log in again.

In the Cpannel it would not let me make the button or quck link but i was able to link it up mys elf.

Any ideas :confused:

2. If i fill in a test form via the direct url and submit the form only the text in the "Custom Form Output" is posted in a new thread.

Any clues please ???

[xorlof]

In the admin panel, I have the option "All registered users can view/edit/delete their own form results saved to database."set to "Yes".
However when somebody tries to delete one of his own entries, he gets permission denied.

Replying to a very old question, but I had the same one and spotted the problem. It appears there is a bug and you need to find this line in forms.php:

if (($candeleteformresult && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $candeleteformresult)) AND (!$canmanageownformresults OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))

The very last part of that line should read, "OR !$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))" (without the quotes). Note the addition of the exclamation mark. That's the only change.

2 other questions:
Can I display the delete button also on the form results table?
Is it possible te remove some of the links on top of the results page. So when somebody is watching the form results, there is no link to the tables,poll page, etc
I suspect we are using the product in a similar way. I also came up with template edits to do this, but given how your question is a few years old I doubt you're still interested. I only posted the above because it was a genuine bug and if there is ever a new release the fix should be included.

I have a question. I have used this mod for quite some time on a site and we've had a form intact and it works just fine, but recently I was asked to change the options where the user who submitted the form can change the information submitted in the form they submitted by using the edit button in the thread the form started. I found this option: "Users Can Manage their own Form Results - All registered users can view/edit/delete their own form results saved to database." and I have ticked it to "Yes", but for those who have already submitted the form they still cannot edit the thread/post it made. I've tried to "Rebuild Thread Information" from the update area in the AdminCP but that did not seem to make it where the old thread can be edited by the person who submitted them. Am I just doomed to have Admins be PM'ed for changes here lol?

[blind-eddie]

Another question...How do i make a form highlight to a tab in the built in navigation other than the Forums tab?


EDIT: I have solved this myself with the following plugin code for those who might want to do this in the future. :)

if ($GLOBALS['fid'] == '1') $root = 'tab_abc_123';

Be sure to put the correct form id number where I have the number one & make sure that your tab_abc_123 is the tab of the tab you want to be highlighted.

* If I fill out a form entirely with the word "test" it succeeds; if I use huge blocks of Lorem Ipsum it's fine; if I use "real" content (which is not in any way weird, but is pasted from google docs and potentially carrying formatting tags?) I get the error.
* There is no conflict in {q_*} tags between different forms, unless something has gotten scrambled on the back end and reassigned numbers around.
* This just started happening in the last week when my webhost depricated php5.3 and pushed us to 5.4.
