If you have two questions numbered with 2, the system will change one of them to 3 and renumber all questions so they stay 1,2,3,4 etc.. So if you add a question and it's in say position 18. You change that question to 2 and update positions. That question should become 2 and the old 2 becomes 3 and so on.

Ok, this will do. :) Thanks. If you find a way so we could use 10,20,30... please do it.

Just to report, just found out that even if I set Parse URLs to yes for application positions, links aren't parsed.

Maybe it has something to do with HTML code being correctly parsed?

Anyway, please correct it, I really like links to be parsed.

Need more info, just tested it and anything starting with http:// is parsing.

<a href... etc isn't needed, just input the http://websitelink and it parses.

Edit: To get a word or phrase linked to a URL, use the BB Code for URLs.

how to display the application captured date as shown below using this mod

http://www.immihelp.com/tracker/usa-...ing-tracker.do

That would be a completely different mod to do that. This add-on doesn't keep track of applications once they are submitted.

nhawk..

Thanks for quick reply.. by any change do you ever know a mod where i can achieve the above functionality

Ok, I got idea and checked were the problem might be. :)

Problem is when using color for answers (Application Answer Color). I used color red (I'm pretty sure that actual color isn't important, but just to mention it). And after that links aren't parsed. Removed color from options, links get parsed.

So, when using color, it somehow influences parsing of links.

Hm, I looked at your site, it looks nice. :up:

There's one option you could use. You could put applications to thread as new posts, so you would have some form of tracking all applications, but not completely similar like this one you mentions.

Alan_SP

I am new to this vbulletin, Can you give me the sample step to put applications to thread as new posts ?

This is done with this mod (Advanced Application Forms), you have this option in AdminCP.

Go to Application Positions, choose position you want to have applications created in thread as new posts.

Use this options:
Report in Existing Thread set to yes
Existing Thread ID you need to have this thread already created, but this isn't problem. ThreadID is number with which vB describes thread, you can get it from link of that thread.

For example, this is link from your forum: http://www.immihelp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96101

I bolded and colored thread ID. Of course, you can create any new thread and anywhere, just take thread ID and put it there.

Poster ID - You could use this, or not (I leave it at 0).

Anyway, look at instructions what every option does, it's explained in detail.

Also note that in the same time you could use more options simultaneously i.e. you could create new thread, post new post in existing thread, post PM, send e-mail... Check options and decide what suites you best.

I would look into it, but I did try both with and without the color option and it parsed both ways...

So far as the color itself, I tried #FF0000, FF0000 and the word red. All worked and all parsed the url.

EDIT: I see the problem now. If an answer color is defined and the URL is the only thing in the answer, it doesn't parse. The fix will be uploaded later today.

You're fast, it's amazing. Really exceptional support. :up:

Sorry I forgot to mention that I was testing with only links as an answer. Needless to say, now everything works fine. :up:

Hi this is a great addition to any site. I have just upgraded to the latest version and all works great... I have just two quick questions.

1 Is it possible not to show the IP address of the member in the posts? when you sumit to the thread.

2 and I know this is a bit off topic and I'm sure I'll be told that it wasn't built to do this but would you think about adding the option of having running list of user/member who have submitted in the post? A sort of tally.

Many thanks

ACP->Settings->Options->Application Form Settings

Set Include IP Addresses in Reports to 'No'.

I'll put it on the wish list. That doesn't mean it will ever get added, but it gives me an idea of what people want.

i can not get this aplication to show up for anything can some help me setting this up???
in the folder General Application Forms there is a upload folder i uloaded the files in that folder to the public_html on my ftp and the rest of the files i the upload folder i uploaded to there directory of there name ex admincp folder files in it i uploaded to the admincp in my ftp. what am i doing wrong and why wont this work. even setting the option to have the aplication file in the navbar but nuthing comes up when clicked on. someone help me please!!!!!!!

Be sure you have given yourself permission to view the application type and application position.

Here is a troubleshooting flowchart that might help.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/20.jpg

so when i upload all the files inside the upload folder to my ftp html file. i am doing this right i dont have to add the files in upload to the place on my ftp that they are named ex admincp files inside to admincp. i upload the whole folder admincp to the pubic_html. correcct? i aske this because the directions say >>> Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root. "my ftp public_html"

Wherever your forum is located.

So if your forum is located directly in the HTML folder on your server, that would be correct.

If your forum is in a sub-folder such as HTML/forums, you would upload the files to the forums folder.

I get this warning when submit application form

Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/application-forms.php on line 567

That's not line 567.

It 'looks' like a checkbox question is missing an answer or there aren't any expected answers for the checkbox question.

Can you post the checkbox questions that are being asked? Or, send them to me via PM.

EDIT: Also note that I need to log off for the night, so I can't answer until tomorrow.

In the nav bar i put the application option when i click on this nav bar application option there is nothing that appears. as to setting my self to>> given yourself permission to view the application type and application position. That is in this part of the section >> Application Type Add/Edit Permissions if i am correct i put a 6 which is the admin user-group. if i have set this correct what else could be the problem?:confused:

Application Forms > Application Types > Edit your application type > Allowed Usergroups > Select the usergroups will be allowed to see this application group. > Save.

Please use normal font (as you'd turned off the CAPLOCKS).

[QUOTE=snowlion;2292612]Application Forms > Application Types > Edit your application type > Allowed Usergroups > Select the usergroups will be allowed to see this application group. > Save.

QUOTE]Right i did that and made it so only i can see the application usergroup 6 is admin so i am the only one who can see it but when i click o the nav bar aplication nuthing happens i can not see anything so that could not be the problem. Any other ideas??
P,S I made the font diffrent so anyone trying to awnser would be able to see the main question. Just like you made the file directions a dif font!!

Hi thanks for the fast reply yesterday... Sorry for missing that setting :) just another thought that you can add to your maybe never list :)

Is there anyway of creating a block that can appear at the top of a selected forum. That way a type could be shown and the applications could show in the threads below? see mock up below..

once again great support

[QUOTE=TombstoneWarrior;2292626]If the nav tab is showing, but it only shows a very small dropdown like this...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/20.jpg

Go to ACP->Application Forms->Application Types and edit the application type. Make sure 'This Application Type is Active' is set to 'Yes'. And, that your usergroup is set in Allowed Usergroups.

There's no way of doing it at this point in time. But I do like the idea.

Again, it will go on the wish list.

I know you were joking, but if you read through the entire thread you'll find that just about everything people have asked for has been added whether in a paid add-on or if it got blended into the main product. It's more the availability of time to work on major additions that drive when and if something gets added. ;)

I think this is a great bit of software that could do so many great things for helping comunication with the members.. If there was the option to post the application to face book that would be great as well :)

I'm using it for application for poeple to apply to help out on the site but the thing I think it's going to be best at will be for getting people to sign up for events.... This way we can easily show who will be attending.

Once again great product... If there were paid addons I'm sure i'm not the only one who would be interested if this would help you speed things up :)

many thanks

Adam

[QUOTE=nhawk;2292652] that is the ecact picture i have on my screen. here is a screen shot to show i have the right setting's but it still is not working..Please look at the pic attachment>>>>>>>>>>

[QUOTE=TombstoneWarrior;2292845]You are on the wrong screen.

Go to ACP->Application Forms->Application Types

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/20.jpg

Once there edit the application type and set 'This Application Type is Active' to 'Yes'.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/20.jpg

And be sure you have permissions to view the application type.

[QUOTE=nhawk;2292871] thank you for the pic's here are mine proving i am set right and i still am not getting this to work!!what could be wrong????

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...8&d=1327624789

This is global setting to Add/Edit Permission.It has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. You have to...

Go to ACP > Application Forms > Application Types > Edit your application type > scrool down and search > Allowed Usergroups > Select the usergroups will be allowed to see this application group. > Tick the check boxes > Save.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1327634262

[QUOTE=TombstoneWarrior;2292884]Wait.. I spotted something wrong.

You MUST define at least one usergroup that can NOT use the application system in ACP->Settings->Options->Application Form Settings, Usergroup Settings.

The most common usergroup to forbid is 8, banned users.

THANK EVERYONE WO HELPED ME FIGURE OUT MY PROBLEM WITH THIS MOD. :sry about the caps" though you all do deserve a shout!!!!

I run a gaming clan and would be awesome to have this for new recruits to fill out to apply for the clan. Is this possible? Where does the applications go when people have filled them out?

It is used by many for just this purpose.

The applications are either sent via PM or Email, or they are posted in a thread.

I use it for this purpose exactly and it works perfect!
I highly recommend it and I also recommend using it along with his Poll and Promote pro add on. It is dirt cheap and works great!

Hi,

What have I done wrong when those using the application form get these:
"I would like to apply for" "Please select the position you are applying for."
But nothing to choose or write?

I have 7 application forms out of which 6 are active.
And this problem is only with 2 of the active ones.

Could be a few things...

1)You haven't given permisson for the 'Application Positions' to the usergroup that has this problem

2) You haven't set 'This Position is Active' to 'Yes' in the application positions

3) You haven't assigned a 'Application Type' to the application positions.

4) You've set the User Post Count too high for the application positions.
