Hey! I'm having a small problem with a custom question that defaults to the users age. I'm having problems validating the input when the form is submitted.

For my custom question I have this code (this part works):
I want the user to be able to change the age I default the question to. I also want to make sure that input is a valid number so I wrote a few lines to do that.

In the "Before Submit" area I have this: (my custom question has an id of 15)
Here is where the problem comes in! When the forum is submitted or previewed the text in the age field shows up but my "Before Submit" code does not take effect. So if I were to type "cool" in the age field it shows "cool" in the preview instead of showing 18 as I would expect (type casting 'cool' to an int should return zero, zero is less than 18 so it should be set to 18).

Any help would be great! I'm sure it's just something little I am missing. I know what I am doing may seem a little silly out of context but I want it to work this way. :)

Non-registered users can submit forms if you desire. But using it to create new users is not a function

Atm, you have to edit a plugin.

But in v3.7 (available very soon) you can just customise the template form_navbar

In Before Submit plugin remove any comments or use instead:
eg.

Could we have some fields on the top of the form result table where we can filter the result table by?

If we have like 100 people submit the forms, may be the result can be filtered by one of the choice in a form question.

maybe Ajax can be used here.

Very much looking forward to it.

all are welcome news.

Just noticed there's an update for this mod...v3.7beta. Are there any release notes as to what this update includes? Also, are there any upgrade instructions?

Thanks, bananalive...for another great mod!

Version history contains latest additions:

Installation Instructions:

1. Import product file in admincp
2. upload easyforms.js and easyforms.css to clientscript/

Thanks, bananalive...

One thing I've noticed, though...

This is displayed on the forms..."Please Note: Questions proceeded by an asterisk (*) are compulsory." Actually, the asterik (*) does not proceed the question, but appears after the question. Also...anyway to change this and make the asterisk (*) red in color?

Updated to 3.7 beta and upload the js files. To sort column, just click on the column header name and an arrow down will appear next to the header name.

This is not too obvious to people since it's hard to tell you can sort. Maybe we can add a filter section on top to display only the columns we want in case we have 20+ columns?

"Proceed" means "to come after." Precede means before. The coder is correct; your vocabulary is backwards!

LOL...Must've been a dyslexic moment.;)

I've been having the same problem as others in that when I create a new form and then try to save changes to it, I get redirected to my first forum without the changes being saved.

I was running an old version of VBSeO but even tried disabling it and uninstalling it and still have the issue occuring.

bananalive,
Can you give instruction for people who want to edit the form result table template to add/arrange the column, etc

Also, is the feature for people to delete their own form enabled in this 3.7beta version yet?

Thanks

Wow. Great work!
I haven't read thru all 81 pages of comments, yet, but perhaps you'd forgive me....
Where's your Donate link? (ADD one!) [You deserve it!]

Edit Phrase: compulsory_questions_explained

Possible collapse columns would be best, but I'm not sure atm. I'll have a ponder...

Try v3.7

The columns and their order is based on the current form questions.

No

Thanks,

You can click the Support Developer in the right hand side of first post of every page. Beneath Mod Information and The Developer.

Ok, thanks
I like to move the Time column right now to the end right of the form result table and edit them as Last Updated, and also format to show the date only, not the time.

This refers to my question about the ability for users to update their form answers.

I'm just curious: technically speaking, since the result are stored in database as a block of text, isn't it possible for you to do a sql update query to replace that row with the new row?

How about we change the way we store data in database as column, would it be easier for you?

I'm just throwing it up out there and hope for a chance you will ponder the possibility.

Thanks

When a form is submitted, I would like an automated specific prefix to be added to the thread. How would I go about doing this?

You can specify a prefix for a thread when editing a form.

I uninstalled the forms modification.

Installed 3.7

No dice, still redirects to first forum

Uninstalled 3.7

Installed 3.6

No dice, still redirects to first forum.

If you'd like admin access to view it, I can give you a test login that'll allow you to edit the forms on my board.

It looks like the custom output is working differently for drop-down choices.

Here is an example:

Question: What is your favorite color? (single-selection drop-down)

When not using a custom output format, it displays fine, like this:

What is your favorite color?
Blue

Using a custom output it looks to display the number of the choice, rather than the choice itself, like this:

This is the custom output:
{username} tells us that their favorite color is $q[30].

(username) tells us that their favorite color is 2.

It seems to work well for the normal text fields.

Nevermind, all fixed.

How do i remove from a post that appears as a blank space when a user does not fill in an optional question.

Looks very interesting, and good for an idea I have.

If you pm me details of test account i'll have a look.

Use custom output:

{username} tells us that their favorite color is $qo[30].

Form Hook: Before Submit:

$formoutput = str_replace("[B][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/B]", "", $formoutput);

Thanks. :up:

Thanks again, bananalive! :)

Someone has just filled in the form and it still left a space, the above code was not removed from the post. :confused:

I'm sorry if this has already been answered (I did search through the thread), but how would I go about creating a hook that checked to see if a users post count was above 10? I have no PHP knowledge. (At best, all I can do is look at a chunk of code and get the general understanding of what it does)

The reason I ask this is because my forum is dedicated to an online game, and I want to be able to give people the option to create a forum for their clan. I want there to be a minimum post requirement for them to be able to do this, because in the past I have had to check manually and it's sort of a pain for me to do.

Thanks!

Ack--thought on some pages I saw a PayPal button, and was only looking for that. :embarassed:
Done. Thanks again!

If you want to remove the question as well look at the bbcode code and text you wish removed and add it exactly into hook where X is:

Form Hook: Before Submit:

$formoutput = str_replace("X", "", $formoutput);

Add the following php code to Form Hook: Form Start:

Still not removing anything. :( What i am using is a for sale listing form, and one question is does your item come with a scope. yes/no = radio checkbox.
Then if the answer is no the next question they are told to ignore, but if yes the next question they fill in the type of scope.
So if they choose "no" and don't fill in the type of scope, this is then submitted with a space/gap in the for sale thread, if i click on edit thread i have to remove [b][size=3][/size][/b] from the post to remove the space/gap between the item for sale listing. Maybe i have to tell the form somehow to ignore the next question if the answer is "no"
See pic for example of gap between rows.

Thank you very much, that did the trick. :)
