Bananalive, fantastic support, thanks for the fix!

Thanks for this mod!!.

I have a question. In my form I have a field with this custom form output.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

When the answer is blank it shows [IMG] code because this field is not compulsory, like this

[IMG].[/IMG]

If the field is blank I don?t want to show BBcode, how could I correct this??

That's too cool. After loading the xml sheet I could see clearly how it works. All I needed was an example. Thank you again.

Hi, Banana,

At last, got enougth time to study latest changes in your form constructor. Thanks a lot for your work. I have some proposals, may be, youll find those useful for your 3.0 version :) .

1. Processing can be switched from "form parameters" to "form actions". That will spin flexibility to the next level, and will simplify / improve coding & interface for each action.

Each action can have a custom parameter & action can be added to form in the same manner, as questions. The big advantage is, that you can have several action in one time (or just skip unnecessary one). Here is actions examples:

- posting

• Create Thread
• PM form
• Email Form
• ... (other types of data processing)

- customisations

• Custom success message (? with JS redirect to URL)
• Custom error message if no permissions to use form (? with JS redirect to URL)

Of cause, that can be done via hooks, but that method is much more complicated, than just push mouse buttons :) . And you are not limited to add new actions, when required. That's a kind of "advanced hooks conctructor" :)

(*) Don't know what is better: to keep title & template common, or make it individual for each posting action. Probably, second method is better and simplify main form editing page.

2. "Only for guest" questions.

Reason is simple: User should not care, which form to select for feedback. That's extremly significant for advertiser and payed visitors. If he is registered, then additional information is taken from profile. If not - he is asked to fill additional input fields.

Solution is trivial: add flag "only for guests" for all questions.

3. Full template language support in form templates.

AFAIK only macroses are supported now. But it would be useful to support <if> <else> and all internal forum variables in form templates. It seems, there are no serious barriers to do that. vBulletin have a powerful templates parser, that can be used. It's useful with proposal (2), when you can easily fix template output, depending on user permissions.

4. Please, check vulnerabilities issues

- What happens, if user enter macros name in text field? Are such patterns stripped (or converted to safe style) prior to process form?

5. It's better so send Emails in HTML. Вetter look, when use several actions (make post and send email)

(*) If you'll switch to "actions", it's possible to create new one "send email as HTML" :) . If each action has personal template, that's not a problem at all.

6. Don't know, if it's useful, but I'd enlarge default form description font to SIZE=2. And would remove "Form Description" from border.

7. It would be useful to have form active for user, but hidden from public list. No ideas, why you use 2 access settings in product options, but only sigle setting for each form. Parameter "who can view form in list" can solve it.

8. Date question format. Some prefer dd-mm-yy. May be, format type to this question?

9. Does "send email" support multiple addresses?

(*) Useful, but not critical if multiple actions are supported.

Regards,

Vitaly.

Will definately post a paypal donation for your hardwork on this mod.

"You could use 'Form Hook: Form Start':"

Im able to access the form via misc.php?do=form&fid=10&threadid=(dynamic) but the script is unable to figure out which thread to post in.

I left "Threadid where Post is Created:*" blank since this would need to be dynamic. Unsure where to proceed from here.

Incredible. Installed, Voted, Nominated

Awsome.
so awsome its a admin feature now ;)

Attachment 93875

whats the point of this mod ?

I discover that the form is submited or not depending of the order of the variable options that I indicate in the "Thread/ PM/ Email Title: " field:

Example: It's ok with "{q_1}: {q_2}" but not submit the form if I wrote "{q_2}: {q_1}"

In other form it's ok with "{q_6} {q_5}" but not with "{q_5} {q_6}"

:confused: :confused: What's wrong?

Thank you bananlive! ;)

Thanks for the great modification. I am just starting to use it and have two questions.

Question 1:
How do I get the form results to be saved to the database? When I creating a new form I see a drop down box with the following options:

PM Form to User
Post New Thread
Post in Thread
Email Form

I do not see anything that allows me to "save to database".

I checked the tables after creating a form and using the form and the formresults tables is empty.

Question 2:
Ideally I want a user to fill out a form and submit it. When it is submitted it is posted to a thread and saved to a database. Is this possible?

Thanks!
