For the record, this is the final code I used, changing the error message to be more approprate:

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
$errormessage = "You do not have permission to create a thread in the Personal Marketplace because you need a post count of at least 30 and to have been a member for at least 30 days to create a thread here.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
} 


To shorten that up, I believe you could also use something like this:

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
    standard_error(fetch_error('YOUR_ERROR_PHRASE'));
} 


And go to Add New Phrase > Error Phrase > input your varname, text, etc. and change YOUR_ERROR_PHRASE to the varname you defined

Hi, how can i chose the ID of the thread maker for a submitted form? it seems it's always choosing the admin and posting a thread, just so happens I'm the admin who posted a test and it looked ok, but i wanted my forum bot to make the post, i inserted the bot ID and yet although it takes that information it just appends a a comma and my admin ID in the edit section, how can i get past this?

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 30 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] < TIMENOW - (86400 * 30))
{
$errormessage = "You do not have permission to create a thread in the Personal Marketplace because you need a post count of at least 30 and to have been a member for at least 30 days to create a thread here.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}

Nice Tool

but it works not in 3.7

No Idea??

[hossenpheffer]

I'm using the first three fields of a form to use as the new thread title. It's critical that the new title display all capital letters. Can some one explain the best way to force uppercase/caps for a given set of questions or field?

Using the 'description' to request the user input only caps is often ignored.

I've been using the mod New Thread Notification for quite a while, but the instant email alerts have stopped sending with the installation and activation of Easy Forms in the forums that use a form to start a new thread.

I've tried adjusting the execution order around with both of them to no avail. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks in advance for any ideas or solutions.

[Simon Lloyd]

maybe one of them is rewriting the hook thats used

[hossenpheffer]

I expect you're right, or by-passing one? Reviewing the plugin hooks, they don't appear to have any shared hook locations.

I've installed this mod but can't find anywhere to create the form?? Or any clues from endless amounts of posts I have looked through. I just want to put a small "Send your name and address for tickets" form on a an events page in the cms. ??

In your quick links drop down, click Forms. It should be at the bottom.
Once you get to the form page the link to create new forms is dead center of page.
