   $newpost['thumbnailurl'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['thumbnailurl'];
   
4. In the new question box I created I tried pasting an image url both with and without [img] tags but no thumbnail.

Find in plugin Easy Forms Part 1:

PHP Code:

$postdm->set('userid', $postuserid); 


Add below:

PHP Code:

$postdm->set('thumbnailurl', $newpost['thumbnailurl']);

I tried that and then submitted an image URL with and without [url] tags in the box created in step.2

Should I undo steps 1-3 and only edit the plugin Easy Forms Part 1?

hello bananalive, first of all this is a great addon,
but i wonder if this will be a good ideea
you make a question like Dropdown Select or a checkbox select
and based on that you can change the category in which the form is posted in
for example
you have multiple forms that do the same thing basically with difference only in place where it gets posted.
what do you think about that?:P

Man... This is a GREAT hack, but I guess that the title must be changed...!

Where it says "without php or html knowledge" should say "with a lot of HTML knowledge and a bit of PHP" :up:

Hello and thank you for this great modification.

I sort of have a problem. If I go to the form and edit the form and then enter a description and check the boxes to save or PM form details and hit save, none of it save and I'm redirected to my forum home page. I'm using VB 3.8.3 with VBSEO.

Tried many times to save, reinstalled mod, always same result.

Would it be possible to use this to create a custom user registration form?

I want to make a landing page so that when a user clicks on an ad and comes to my site they see my custom easy registration form.

Has anyone experienced this? The form isn't working for me and I've searched here for answers and came up empty. Anyone?

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I would like to see a specific form as a module for cmps.

Is this possible and if so, how.

Thx

No keep that stuff.

And you might need to redo

Find in plugin Easy forms Part 1

PHP Code:

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


Replace with

PHP Code:

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

You can copy forms which allows you to copy a form. I think this is a much easier way to have multiple forms with similar functions
