vb.org Archive - New Posting Features - Easy Forms v4.x - Create a form or multiple forms without php or html knowledge

Hi there - sorry - just a bump re this one - grateful if you could advise. This has been a bit of a trail of code so let me know if I need to post more info to help trouble shoot this.

Thank you.

1. Drop down list is great and working from the filtered list.

I think I might have referred to this in an earlier post and commented I needed to test further, but I confirmed tonight that the forum that the form actually posts in to however upon submission is still the default one on the form. In other words, although I select another forum from the drop down now working, the post goes in to the original default forum still. Is this something you could advise on please?

2. Re the question of the prefix question - good point - thanks. However when I do this, I get the code for the prefix output rather than the title of the prefix i.e. I get FH001 not 'Family Home to Buy". I am using say {qo_59} where 59 is the custom question.

Thanks for your ongoing assistance.

What have you got in your form hooks? You'll need something like this in Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = $qo['forumid'];
$form['prefixid'] = $qo['prefixid'];

The prefixes will need the user to reload the page, via clicking preview or submit to load the appropriate prefixes for that forum.

With custom questions $qo and $q are the same so you can't get the prefix title

If you have access to phpmyadmin you could create the question in one form and then using phpmyadmin copy the corresponding row of `formbits` table and then just edit `fid` column for each question to the appropriate form id.

Ok,
Thanks

Hi

Yes I have that in the form hook - well 'prefix' at the end as that is the way the reference is set up in the custom question. All forums that will be in the array use the same set of thread prefixes. Its more the forum it gets submitted to is the issue - or is that refreshed by the threadids being forced to refresh? (even though in this case they look the same to the user) If the user has to click preview to refresh this, is there a way to force them to preview?

The form in question can be triggered from http://www.shackchat.co.nz/listings/...?53-PW_Dunedin - user TEST997 spider if this helped at all. (even though I might select PW_Lower Hutt City it gets posted to PW_Dunedin - which is the default forum in the form body itself)

Thank you.

Really good mod.

Is there a way to link to just 1 form I have created and not show all the menu items above it etc? just call the form into a page I have for recruitment?

Or if above is not possible, is there a way for when a user clicks on Forms on the Nav Bar it shows my 1 form and not a link to the form?

As I will only be using 1 single form

It works fine in IE9. Is this an issue anyone else is having? I searched this thread but didn't see anything. As far as I can tell this has only come up after I upgraded to 4.1.2 and the latest version of the mod.

Thanks.

I am having the same issue. The dropdown menus in my forms in internet explorer only shows the first two letters in the list. In Firefox everything looks fine. I have also tried it on different computers.

Any suggestions on how I might create a field on the form that is a dropdown list of users on the forum?

Or even better, a box in which to enter usernames similar to that in Tournaments & Ladders? Where they are validated against the user base?

I am trying to post a form that will allow me to collect inventory information

I was trying to use the grid option, that looked like the only one to get mutliple model#'s and qty.

I used the Columns for qty and the rows for the models
1 problem is..it looks like you can only have 10 rows, because the results duplicate from the first 10, if you only answer 10 or less and dont display if you enter more.

would this be the best type of question for collecting this info?
If so I would like to only display the models or columns with answers

Thanks! Fantastic addon.

I'm with Ixian,

Fantastic addon Indeed!

I'm no coder by any means, I fumble my way around pre-existing stuff and can edit as per directions when required, and would love to see the ability to take the info submitted on a form and place it into a calendar event.

Any chance of getting it added in as a feature, or possibly a bit more explanation (Or a sample snippit) of just how to get information from a form into a calendar event?
