I've just installed v3.4 and created a test forum with 2 vbeditors,

I opened the form and typed 2 different test comments in each and clicked on preview. When the preview page was displayed both fields had the same content.
I got the same results when submitting the page, the contents of the 2nd vbeditor were copied into the 1st.

So something isn't working quite right yet...

v3.5+ allows multiple vb editors (not been released in first post, but attached)

Ahhhh ! Bloody Good Show old bean !!! Works a treat :)

Thanks

Even just storing data individually would be great. :)

I can hack together an edit function.
On that point are we allowed to modify your code to add features such as this?

How to set as the answer:
Q: Result of the form will be submited as new tread to forum (for example id =1,2,5,6); A: forum's name (drop down menu)
Q: With what forum prefix (for these forums to which will be placed result); A: prefixes (drop down menu)

I guess that it is necessary to create Custom Question with a db query :rolleyes:

Yes or use array $vbulletin->forumcache for forumlist.

Yes if it is not publicly re-distributed as your own work

How come I did not get an update notification?

Updated! :) Thanks.

This is AWESOME, thank you!!

No I haven't touched those.

Is it possible to add a password? Like before a form is view a password is required? Or before its submitted a password is required? Is this possible?

Hello!

How do I prevent a user meets twice?

(only one answer for user!)

I don't think there is a way to achieve this.

As the form does not store who has used the form, this is not possible.

For such a simple mod this one is awfully confusing. I installed it and couldn't figure out. How do I select more usergroups? The options aren't clearly defined at all and I can't select more than one usergroup. Why can't I edit forms via AdminCP? Why can't I create forms via AdminCP? The usergroup settings are probably the most confusing of all Vbulletin mods I've seen in the 4 years I've been using this forum software. The hack goes through VBoptions and the settings are not only limited but poorly worded. For anyone looking to remember the good old days of the Vbulletin Quiz hack, this modification is NOT for you. Shame...

I see this is your 1st post in this mod thread ReadOrDie.
I also see you've been a member at vborg for quite awhile.

So by now you ought to know not to jump in and go slammin a coder without a fair trial. LOL

I, above all, understand frustration. I have to be the dumbest person on this site, when it comes to understanding this stuff. In fact I don't understand it at all. If it works, I use it. If it don't I ask for help from the person who crafted the Mod. If they are one of the many poor ones who never come back to support there mods, then I dump it and get on with life.

But the support in this particular mod is the best I've seen in any mod I've tried. He answers so quick it's amazing! And he ignores no one.

So if you are having a bit of trouble fiquring things out...

Try reading all 60 pages of this thread several times like I did. And also remember to read the "HELP FILE" posted at the top too along with documentation included in the zip file.

It's hard to come up with a question that hasn't already been answered somewhere. But even when people don't read everything, this guy has the patience to repeat his answers again and again.

And if you don't find your answer? Try asking.
That always seems to work here! :up:
____________________________
Sorry for sounding rude, or like a know it all. I'm not.
It's just that this is the best supported hack I've run accross and your post struck a nerve tonight. :) Sorry for ranting.

You use vBadvanced on your site so where is your problem? The selection there is for many options the same as for the usergroups in this modification. Simply click and hold the CTRL-Key and click on the desired usergroups with the left mouse button. Save it and it's done.

That it isn't running on the ACP, is one of the great features! So different users/usergroups can simply work on building a form. Without having access to the ACP. ;)
If you don't like it because it isn't what your're looking for search for another one but don't defame this great modification without cause. Just my 2cents.

Storyteller

I agree...its not very user-friendly...in fact not at all user friendly! I think the admin should do some major changes to make it as simple as MachForms. :D

In defence of the coder, Guys.

His help is absolutely Great.

;)

** Edit **

Patient and very helpful. The only one that I have come across on vB.org.

What I have done is set it so that every form submitted has to be 'Moderated'. Once I have viewed it and approved it - Only then, does it go 'Live'.

Hey, great mod! :)

Is there a way for me when the email is sent out to include there the username of the member who used the form?

just add a field for named "username" so the user who is typing will enter his username. :)

You can include {username} in the form if you'd like (perhaps in the title?).

If you'd rather their username appear as the answer to a question, do this:

Create a new question, selecting "Custom" for the type. Name it "Username".

In the code field, enter in:
Then their username is sent in like it is the answer to a question in the form, and they cannot change it.

Hi BananaLive,

( Or anyone that can help.)

When I submit the form below ( your example ) to a HTML page , it directs me to a page of smileys located here

http://localhost/forum/misc.php?user=bob

It seems to cut off the "do=form&fid=1" part but does add the "user=bob" part"
I'm kinda stuck on that one.

.
<form name="form" action="http://localhost/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1" method="get">
Username:
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>



Another question on this one.

Do I need to change anything in these codes to be able to use the form on the top of the page ?

When you say "use {param} in custom output" I really don't know what that means could someone explain that in a little more detail please ? . Sorry for my inexperience I am willing to pay/donate (to you or to your favorite charity), to anyone who can help me out with this.

Thanks,

Custom output enables you to design your own layout using the parts of the form.
The alternative would be to use this code: (it justs adds the field like another question at the end of the form output)

Thanks again BananaLive,

Let me make sure I'm not wasting your time here, I should do this ?

1.) Use the HTML code on my HTML template

2.) Use the first php code in my hook form start

3.) Use the second php code in my custom output window.

4.) OR use the last php code in place of the third one if I just want to add the field to the end of a form

Please correct where I may be wrong in this sequence.

Thanks

Yes apart from 3. The custom output is the bbcode/text which is how you want the form's post/email/etc. to look like.

3.) Use the second php code in Form Hook: Before Submit and then do a custom output

Hi,

OK , a lot of progress. The field name shows up in the new thread at the end ( prefer that one ) but the value doesn't ( actual name entered in form )

Sorry to be a pain.

Thanks

view page source of form, and see if you get

<input type="hidden" name="hiddenfield1" ... />

Is there anything in the value="" part of it?

I'm looking through the help file for information on the save to database function but don't see anything. Anyone have any tips on what this does and how it works?

Hi ,

I put the name in the form and it takes me to the form ( all good ) , I then view source and the name I entered on the previous page is there right as you described ( all good ) but when I submit it only the field shows up on the new thread. ( getting close )

Thanks

Hi,


When I use these two together it works , was that the instruction ? Separately they don't work.

Thanks

I'm getting the following error :( How can I fix it? What have I done wrong?


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/vb/public_html/test/forum/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(2219) : eval()'d code on line 1

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /home/vb/public_html/test/forum/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(2516) : eval()'d code on line 1

It is also not giving any form to write answers? I chose CUSTOM and then typed the question but
I can see the question ... :( but no place to write the answer

They do different things so you need them both in the Form Hook: Before Submit:

Have a look at the help file

If you use custom, you should use something like:

It will save the form result in a separate database like a post which can be accessed by those able to edit forms.

Have you got anything in the form hooks?

Thanks again,

I was right , I figured that I was the problem the whole time.

Form Hooks, I left it blank.. I thought it would use default? How do I put it then?
