Are you saying that, for each question you have, the answers are being shown twice when the person submits the form?


If you have customized the Form Output or the Question/Answer/Section/Form BBCode (in Advanced Options), you may have put in code that displays one of the questions or answers?


PS - can you copy and paste in an example of what the problem is?

Evertything is fine except

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/cerainfo/public_html/forum/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(661) : eval()'d code on line 1

error while accessing forms page. Can you please provide solution?

Form can Submit to:
new thread in forum
new post in thread
new pm to user
email address
save to database

This is looking very interesting, it may save me a heap of work.

A couple of quick questions about how a form can be submitted.

Save to database.
- Does this save into the vB database or a custom database?

- If it saves to the vB database, does it save the form data in a custom table based on the form fields, or does it save into the normal thread posts table?

- Can you have multiple behaviors on form submission.
By that I mean, can it save to a database and also start a new thread?

(Sorry if these have been answered elsewhere, had a quick look but didn't see them)

It saves it in a specific (non- default) table in the vb database.

One form can have multiple actions.

It saves to database like a post as a formatted result, viewable afterward on separate page

Hi,

Not sure if this is something you can answer since it also relates to another mod BUT...

I have been using your mod in conjunction with FB connect with much success. In FB connect when a user starts a new thread, it is posted on their FB Wall.

Before upgrading your mod, when a user filled out a form that I created with your mod and it was submitted to a forum as a new thread, it was posted on the user's FB wall as FB connect saw it as a new thread. After upgrading, for some reason now when the user fills out the form I created with your mod, FB connect no longer sees it as a new thread hence it does not get posted to the user's FB wall.

I know that FB connect works properly as when I create a regular new thread it posts on the user's FB wall.

Could you offer any help with this...thanks in advance.

Have you enabled (removed comment signs around) the hook 'newthread_post_complete' in plugins for easy forms?

From:

PHP Code:

/*($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;*/ 


To:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newthread_post_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;
