Add \r\n to the end of Section BBcode

ah, thanks. How would you be able to also add space after the section so they aren't directly under each other.

nvm, I just added it twice

After upgrading all now works great except one user group cannot upload pictures via the form - this user group though can upload pictures in any other forum so it seems that it is not a user group issue.

the user group is ok to upload files, and the forum the form is posting in is ok for pictures. Im not sure what other place to look for a setting. When they click on the Manage Attachment button the no access page comes up - but again it is for the form only - all other forums are fine.

Check their attachment extension permissions.

Imported forms from debug site to production (via XML). Noticed some bugs:

1. parameter "Show on form list" not stored.
2. parameter "Only for guests" (for field) not stored.
3. If form contains only 1 field (field type doesn't matter), that field become crapped.
4. All field numbers totally crapped (had to edit again custom templates and hooks)

That's not critical, because I don't import/export forms every day , just a bit inconvenient.

PS. But in general, product is exellent . Thanks a lot for your work and your support.

they have access to all - as I stated that they can upload with no problems to any forum (through making a post) however it only rejects them doing so through the form.

Is is possible (? in next version) to grant full access for superadmins, even if no groups for edit selected in settings? Would be nice.

Hello bananalive.
Thank you for this great (!) mod.

I have a question:
How i can customize thread title via Form Hook: Before Submit ? Can I do thread title = {q_1} [{q_2} - {q_3}] when {q_3} filled, and if not filled - thread title = {q_1} [{q_2}]

Can i do it using Form Hook?

UPD:
solved
It's a simply:

PHP Code:

if ($q[8]<>'') $threadtitle = "$q[1] [$qo[6]] [$qo[7] | $q[8]]";
else $threadtitle = "$q[1] [$qo[6]] [$qo[7]]";

Like another person on here i'm having trouble with forms going into moderation queue after updating to 3.3 Has anyone found a solution for this yet? Forum permissions are setup properly and it was working fine prior to the 3.3 update.

Thanks!

Is there a way to make the form work through a website page. Put the fields into a website page and when a person enters stuff it goes through to the forum

Thanks
