Is there a fix for this?

If I click a form to go to from the list, WOL shows me on the forum's Index page.

I'll add WOL to next version.

I have been inserting different hooks from the "thread thumbnails" plugin into the form "hooks" box provided but no luck.

I'm not sure if its possible but you could try this:

Find in plugin Easy Forms Part 1:

PHP Code:

/*($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;*/ 


Replace:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


Then see if you get any messages or anything.

Great Mod!

Is there any way for the users to retreive their posted data and edit the data and only submit the form once?

Thanks!

No luck (no errors just no change) but thanks for trying.

I notice on the forms edit page you can call up hooks..I was wondering if I might be able to call up the thread thumbnail hook? (Instead of editing the easy form hack through VB plugin manager.)

Great mod !

Hi, how do I remove the italics from the answers to the questions in the forms? Thanks.

Dear All,

i have a problem with a break after a SECTION. The single text line after a section is not a new line. It is attached to the section description. Please see the attached screenshot.

Any ideas ?

Edit your form - in the top section, there are a few fields that deal with formatting. Look for the "answer" one. It should already have something in it, like [indent][i] and [/i][/indent].

Remove the [i] and [/i], and that will remove the italics.
