hello,
maybe see in this topic helps
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201097

all the best

Welcome back Banalalive.

You can upgrade this version over the old one, not losing any of your form data or results.

It does still have the import/export form facility

Adding them at the moment :)

But 3 isnt the same as 4 i was thinking more so images related to this version so you can see that it works.

Banana - You are TOP, Top Man. Thank You.

I can't even get to an edit form page..
ANY suggestions?

Thank you Bananalive for this addon.

I think i found a bug the Description: is not passing vb code.

You have answered my prayers!

Thank you so much man for this, vB4 upgrade ahoy!

this looks good, but i think i'll wait til it leaves beta

Cheers, will change that for next version.

Also attached if you want it now.

Have you check your usergroup permissions? (set in vboptions -> Easy Form Options)

Are you seeing the link on forms list page?

Welcome back bananalive, and thanks so much for the vb4 version.

Excellent, Installed and Nominated.

There is a problem with editing some of the questions. It is strange because when I tried to edit the 2nd question on the form, it went to a new page and no problem. When I tried to edit the 3rd question (textfield), it presented a popup that was unworkable. I decided to try the 4th question (dropdown) as well, and it gave me the same problem.

Attaching a screenshot.

Glad to see you back Bananalive! You just made my life much easier, if only it was 2 weeks or so ago. ;)

Thanks again!

thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much. i was addicted to this mod on 3.84

I use an old form and it send the message but it shows this error. And message had this codes in it.

First off, thanks for porting this to 4.0.

I created a new form and went with all of the default settings. It worked fine, posted to where I wanted it to go, sent me the thanks for posting note, and sent me to the forum I indicated in the setup.

However, when creating custom form output, the form still posts to the proper forum but I see the following errors when submitting:

At the top of the page: Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: formoutput in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3893

In the "vBulletin Message" section: Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/scott2/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php
Line: 4501

I do not get the thank you for posting message I created nor am I forwarded to the forum selected, but the form does post fine to the forum and looks as I want it to.

Thanks again.

Same problem here.

since, the description is not enough to fully understand its functionality.
Can you tell me if I can use this hack as "Apply To be Moderator Application"

where i can setup some questions and people answer them and then my and my staff review it.. ?

Can it does that?

Thanks

Try attached product file, should fix issues with custom output.

Yes

I'll add the description to this thread when I've got a bit of time.

What browser are you using?

Have you uploaded (allowing overwrite) upload/clientscript/easyforms.js into the /clientscript/ folder?

Thank you sir, working fine now. Much appreciated, marked as installed, and nominated! I used the other forms hack prior to this version, yours is far better.

IE7 is my browser. I have uploaded both the files to the clientscript folder.

Using latest Firefox, also tested with IE 7.

Anyway, updated to Mod Version: 4.0.1 and it solves the problem, the edit question popup editable now in Firefox.

Question: Anyway we can replace the new thread link with a link to the form for specific forums? Would be nice to have so that we make sure users submit the form instead of making a post on mistake.

No luck here in IE7 after the upgrade, but I did test it with Firefox and there isn't a problem there.

Small suggestion. When editing and adding questions, can you put in a #tag to put us back down to the Edit or Add questions part of the editform page when saving? Very small suggestion but it can get tedious if you have a long application form. :)

How can I Re-direct/ force users to submit form when they click new thread?

1. Create plugin newthread_start
   
   PHP Code:

   ---

   if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))
{ 
      header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ; 
 } 


   ---

   Change 1,2,3 for appropriate forumids.

Try clearing your ie7 cache, it might be that your browser has cached the old javascript code and so it isn't loading the updated javascript file.

It should already do that. I've added #qs which the page should go to after: adding, question, editing question, deleting question, changing display order of questions.

Still no luck on ie7. This is only my work pc so no biggie. I'll just use firefox for this.

It doesn't appear to be working for me on ie7 or firefox. It always goes to the top of the page here.

Now the error gone but it doesn't send the answer, sends just the questions.

In custom form output we use $q[questionid], is it change with the new version?
