Thanks, I'm pretty sure I can work with this.

ok.. group problem on edit / create form

I give right to supermod but he have the supermod in additional group not general. But he cant create the form. But if I put his general group is supermod, he can create or edit form now.

And about "create form" links.. can u hide it only for "allowed group" ?

hope you can fix this.

Thanks.

Excellent product, thank you!

One minor issue though: how can I remove the formatting from the formoutput? Can't find it in the templates.

Thanks!

Edit: Alright, I found and "fixed" it in the product. Thanks anyway!

Awesome Mod - Much easier then the other one.

Very importnat before we install.

Does this allow us to upload an image and save all this data to the database
so we can call it up in other parts of the site?

You can create forms with option to upload attachments. Form data can be saved in new thread, post in thread, email or pm.

Usergroup permissions are based on primary usergroup. However, I've changed this now (permissions will check primary & secondary usergroups) and it will be included in the next release.

It's in plugin: Easy Forms

You'll be looking for anything which looks like this

PHP Code:

$formoutput .= "[INDENT][I]" . ($q_{$formbit[id]} ? " " . $q_{$formbit[id]} . " " : "-") . "[/I][/INDENT]\r\n"; 


p.s. all changes made to plugins are lost upon upgrading/ importing the product.
