I keep being impressed by Easy Forms. Thanks bananalive and Simon for the pointer on pulling DB fields out. I even took a leap of faith and found I could get more complicated results. here's my current effort for grabbing the Gender but displaying just for the first letter.

PHP Code:

$tgen = $vbulletin->userinfo[field6];
if ($tgen=='Male') {$gen = 'M';
    }
elseif ($tgen=='Female') {$gen = 'F';
    }
else {$gen = '';}
$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $gen . '" />'; 


I'm sure someone could cut that down to 1 line but I'm not fussed.

One question I have is the custom layout. What this particular form does is grab information from a user that an admin will use to add to a table we have on the site. It's a bit manual at the moment but if I could some how format the output like this:

[ url={q_2}]{q_1}[ /url]|{q_3}|{q_4}|{q_5}|{q_6}|{q_7}|[ URL={q_8}]Diary [/URL]

then everyone's life would become a lot easier.

Actually, what would be perfect is to use the default layout and then tack the above example at the bottom so the admin just needs to copy and then paste and it's all done.

I can't find any examples of custom templates that I can start to hack away with so if anyone knows how to do the above, or could point me to some examples, that would be great.
