Question, is there a way to embed a hyperlink into a question? With a form i created for vendors, i wanted to place the link to paid subscriptions in the question with a yes/no answer.

Thanks!

Find in product file or plugin: Easy Forms Part 1

PHP Code:

$formoutput = "[CENTER][B][SIZE=5][COLOR=Black]" . $form[title] . "[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/CENTER]\r\n\r\n";

However, with my current form app I have to give a regular user permission to post in the section but I did not give them permission to view the forum. It worked well until I found out that if a user has the option to subscribe to any thread they post in, they can view it.

No.

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . '" />';

I'm using ReCaptcha if that matters/helps any.

What vb version are you using and what browser?

Basically what I'm doing is creating an event calendar form, having it write to a forum, then locking that forum down to new posts, but allowing people to reply to events.

Then I want to use the RSVP hack on this forum only. Which should pretty much give me a fairly accurate event calendar.

If possible, when someone then edits the event, if it matches an entry in the forum, to update the forum post as well. This might be way too much to ask from this mod, but I thought I'd ask anyway. =)

Sorry, I don't think this would be easily achievable with easy forms. Although i will be adding date field soon.

Ok, thanks anyway, a date field would be nice though and that helps! I was using the other forms product (as I finally got it to work before yours was released/I knew about it)...

I have to say, this setup is fantastic and couldn't be easier to use. Perfect install, good instructions, everything makes logical sense. Excellent job!

Hi,
I have a special need, and I'm not sure if this hack does the job.

My application needs a master sheet where users can add names, dates and files.
So how do i get this done?

1. Users click on link get a form, fill it out, attach files then send it to the database
2. Users search this database and get possible matches where they can click and see the names, files associated with their search?

If this hack doesn't do it, do you know of any?

Thank you

[Simon Lloyd]

Links and Download Manager, its a great mod, however, the Designer/Coder (AndrewD) is very ill now, so the support for it is by other coders and users, saying that i have it installed on vb3.8.1 and it woks fine!

[zerohead]

Thank you Simon will take a look
Hope he gets better soon

Great plugin.

I sucesfully installed it in my forum, but when someone fills a form get this javascript error:

vB_Editor[''] is undefined

at (line 2)
return vB_Editor[''].prepare_submit(this.title.value, 0);

And the form is not submited.

I'm using vBulletin 3.8 + vbSeo 3.2.0
