So far only Administrators can view the form.

First check your usergroup permissions in Easy Form Options then check the usergroup permissions for the particular form.

Here's Pre-Release v1.9

Sweet that fixed the problem. But now i found 1 more.

1. When i choose "Field using vb editor" It shows up just fine, however for example:

q_1(vbeditor) answer1
q_2(vbeditor) answer2

outputs this:

q_1(vbeditor) answer2
q_2(vbeditor) answer2

How would i go about using the vbeditor twice?

You can only use the vbeditor once per page - this is limited by vBulletin not me. I don't think a way around it has been found.

I think this is going to come in handy for several of my sites.

I do have a question, tho...I'm trying to add a template conditional to the Forms link in the Navbar, but for some reason nothing I do is working...

It's most likely me because I'm so new at actually writing any code, but if you could let me know how to get template conditionals to work, I'd be very grateful.

We need a link to

http://www.socialspace.co.uk/forum/misc.php?do=forms

adding somewhere :0

Also when making a new form, when hitting "submit" nothing happens, the page just refreshes. It does do the action but no redirect to the forms page.

What is the code for "Custom Form Output" what is the standard code like something to go by so i can copy it and then make it to what I want it to be? Having it there is great but you did not give any instructions on how to use it or what the varibles are called or codes we need to have in the template.

Fantastic Mod!
Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant product!

Is there any future possibility of adding SAVE TO DATABASE option as well as post to a thread?

What conditional did you want to use? To use the usergroups permission you will need to unserialize() the vboption and then use in_array()

You can add the link to the forms list manually or using easy forms options to add it to navbar or quick links.

It should redirect to editing the form, once it has been created.

I'm creating a help file, attached which should help you. The default code goes through each option and depending on the question type creates the form answer.

Possibly, there could be a possible issue if the form changed and then the old data might be corrupted.
