Banana

So the css and js files go right into the "http:...forums/" location? I have now done that.

I found where you create a form and did create one. I am having trouble placing one in a thread.

Suggestions
2. You can add select prefix for thread to use when editing the form.
3. There is a modification by abe1 which replaces newthread button with a specified link
That qo_7 doesn't seem to work. IT says "{qo_7}" in the output. Also there are these things when I click submit.

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: formoutput --> (at the very top of the output)
<!-- END TEMPLATE: formoutput --> (at the very end of the output)

I am using 3.6. I tried 3.7 and it was the same.

Hooray! My tiny brain has figured out how to use it.

Now, is there any way one could export the resulting database/table data to something like Excel to make it easier to utilize the data?

You can search through data stored in the form database? Is that what you meant?
No Problem - I will donate some more when I get some.

Yes Mate - I would like it to search through the details entered in the forms only.

One of the options is to have the form output data to a post in a thread. How could I customize it to output only one of the fields on the form?

I have a silly question! I have a form setup that submits a form for a contest that I am running on my site. The contest requires that the users attach an image to each submission, but the form posts that thread to a forum which the users cannot view. This results in the site not allowing them to add attachments. I have all permissions for Registered users set to "No" except for "Can Upload Attachments". This does not seem to affect it at all though.

I know this is different than posting in a forum as far as permissions go, but it seems that if the form can go around the fact that "Can Post Threads" is set to "No", it should be able to include attachments in a forum that they cannot view. Any insight?

Yep sorry it should be {q_7) in thread title.


And to remove the stuff from top/bottom of output:
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> General Options -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> No

Use the custom output.

Contents:
Code:
$qo[5]
where 5 is the question hash of the answer you want to be the output. See attached image for question hash
