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,
-Tom

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...)?

Is this Addon abandoned?

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?

Works fine for me vB 4.2.2 PL1

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.

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

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.

Yes. That is essential for my purpose

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.

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 tried to reply to your email, but the email bounced.

What have you got in your custom form output. This will be what is causing the error, rather than the special characters.

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.

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.

I'm still having this issue.

Bananalive I want to thank you so much for taking the time out to add that option to the permissions. It's exactly what I need for what I am trying to do, I am going to try this out as soon as I get home and have access to my sandbox environment.

Thank you so much.
BTW do you have a PayPal donation link?

Robert

Bananalive it works great, thank you so much :)
One question, how do I prevent the Registered user from exporting all the results into an excel file?
I noticed it blocks them from seeing other peoples info but the export option sends out everything.

BTW I signed up to your website to look for a Donate button and could not find one, how do I send you a donation. Your support has been outstanding and I want to give something back.

Rob

Fixed export issue, in attached

Thanks

Hi Bananalive

Works perfectly, thank you so much for all the help.
I sent you a donation, so check your email.


BTW you should officially make this version 4.2.7 on the first page. These changes add a great new feature and don't change anything if the person does not tick the new option. Just a suggestion :)

Thanks again
Rob

I've got this:

Any ideas?

Could someone tell me why i can't see the forms link in my navbar or between quicklinks.

i use vbulletin 4.2.2 pl1
and easyform 4.3.0

and is it possible that a user can acces a form ?

Something got broke when they moved to 4.2.2
You now need to manually add it to the Navbar from the CP.

Yes a user can access a form if you give that group permission.

If you need exact details let me know.

I have had this installed for a long time and started to get this message when users have filled out the questions after one time submitting it

Can you help determine why?

Guys i have succesesfully installed the this form, i can see it in admincp , but i can't see it in my form or in nav bar... I use Powered by vBulletin® Version 4.2.2 , with this vbulletin skin
vBulletin Skins by Bluepearl Skins

Can someone tell me what it's wrong ?

You need to manually add it to the Navbar.

Hi,

Is it possible to configure Easy Forms to post a copy of the submitted form (inc options for polls etc) to 2 separate forums? I use Easy Forms for applications and would like to leave one copy in the applications forum (only applicants can see their own forms) and make a copy in an admin folder for discussion.

Thanks

I have the same problem, someone please guide how to add it manually to the Navbar. Thanks

Upgraded PHP to 5.4.33 from a 5.3 version and running vBulletin 4.2.2 P1 and now I get this fatal error when trying to access the form, its not just the guy above there is a problem with the hack.

It was working before the upgrade. Please fix.

Anyone? I really need to know how to fix this as this is a VERY important part of the web site.

Seems this mod has fallen by the way side the developer has not been on here since Oct 4. :( Tried sending him a PM but his inbox is full, so I guess he may not be coming back. Does anyone who is using this mod know how to fix this?

Hi mate,

I recently installed the plugin Easy Form for VB 4.x

I've used this plugin previously and never had a problem with it.

Now that I installed it recently and the target ID won't direct me to the easy forms page.

I add this URL after my domain name /forms.php?do=forms and it just redirects me back to my main forum homepage.

I was wondering why it's doing this ?

I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks.

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.

Yeah, the plugin is active in the ACP and I've set the permissions for each usergroup the way they should be and still the same thing.

Setting permissions is not what I said. There is a link in that box that leads you to the forms. It will usually work when the others may not. Try clicking the link to get to the forms.

Hey bananalive. I was wondering if there is a way to append a form to registration so that once they click register it will also submit the form. Thanks in advance!

That works, thanks for your help.

In output styling, is it possible to auto-add the Month Year to the title: [Title (Month, Year)] without having to have the date as a question on the form?

No problem. :)

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

That looks fine.

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