I have text in my description and I put the center bbcode around it. It's centering in the left column it seems there is an issue with your colspan in your description field.

[Brak710]

No full instructions required here (unless necessary), i just need a hint where to look...

Let's say I want the hide the submit button on a form for 10 minutes so people think about and double check what they are submitting...

Where would one find the place to add a HTML/PHP script to do so. Is there some template/plugin I'm missing? I searched them all for "submit" or "preview" but I assume it's being called as a variable or something.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

it'll be handy for my forum will not install right now but maybe in the future

BOOKMARK though!

First of all I carefully read through every single post in this thread. I get the impression this software is fairly simple to use and the author is quick to be helpful and fix any problems that appear to pop up. I'm impressed so I'm going to give this a test drive at my anime forum before I submit it to my friend at my computer forum. So in light of that I have a couple of questions. Please keep in mind I am not a coder.
1st> At my anime forum I have a section to link to wiki's about anime series. It has 3 pics which when clicked on go to the thread where pics for the subject are posted. Below that is the link to the wiki page. And below that is a short description of the series. Here's an exsample > http://animeappeal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206
Is it possible to do something like that by filling out a form and just have the answers to the questions show in a new thread with the series name as the header?
2nd> Is it possible to use this to do product reviews? Like what is it? Who makes it? Model number. Then the review with maybe pros and cons added to it below that.

Same general format for both it would be safe to assume. Thanks in advance for any help. And is the version in the lead post the lastest one?

Some users seem to have great difficulty in grasping the concept of adding bbcode correctly.

TIA!

Find in plugin: Easy Forms Part 1:

PHP Code:

$newpost['poststarttime'] = $poststarttime; 


Add after

PHP Code:

$newpost['parseurl'] = '1';

You can use the form output field in Edit Form with bbcode and macroses to create the format of the post you want.

I've created a quick form here which will post your output, example post here - I can export the form for you if you want to adapt it.

I'm not sure which fields are needed for product review but you should be able to.

I'd missed out the width="100%", fixed in v2.7

hmmm... it didn't work, the url didn't become clickable.



Would this need to be changed as well??

PHP Code:

Line 540   $formoutput = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($formoutput,false,true,true,true,true,false); 


This is line 540 from the Easy Form 1
