It was working before but now it does not work at all. I type in something to the multi line text field and it will not submit the form. It comes back and says that I have to fill out the title & subject. Its not a huge deal for me as I would rather use the vbeditor instead.

Fixed smilie box issue in attached file

It's missing the javascript. What vb version are you using?

One issue, the same user can fill out one form multiple times? Is that correct.

We should have an option to close an answered form for the user who filled it out correctly.

Possible?

Depends what the form is used for. I suppose a time array could be used so someone can only fill in the form once every week - I'll have think about this

Thanks; nominated!

Is it possible to implement the following:

Create a post in defined forum AND send copy to email? Useful to track support stuff activity. Now only single action can be selected

[Pure Dope]

wwhat is the point of this? so i can create a form? AND?

[ssslippy]

On the attachment issue, I am running 3.8. The preview fails but when you hit submit the attachment gets put onto the post. The javascript is there otherwise my attachments would fail all over the board.

I've installed this and have it all set up but when it posts its not coming out in the layout of the forum its coming out in one big paragraph.

What coding do I need to put in the Custom Form Output for it to show as the actual layout of the forum like you have it?

[gator777]

Awesome Mod! Thats all I have to say! It's Mods like this that make VBulletin so great.

[JermaineBelgard]

Works fine, but why do have I to approve new threads created via a form? If I fill out a form as admin, the thread is created. If I do the same as normal user, the thread has to be approved. But in the same forum which I have selected for the forms it is not necessary for mods and admins to review new threads. Every thread created in there is available in the moment it has been posted -except the form-created ones. What do I have to change to go new threads live instantly?

Thx for this great mod btw.

For non-moderators:

Find:

PHP Code:

$newpost['visible'] = '1'; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$newpost['visible'] = '0';

The point is to allow posts which are of a required form. Can be used for applications, complaints, or any other form

When I add hooks this will be possible.
