Just installed and started to play around with that mod.
It shows great potential, good work indeed.

I do have a couple of questions:
- Is it me or there is no way to prevent a user to submit twice the same form?
- If I want to limit access to the forms result, I must use post in thread and not in db, right?

One suggestion for future release:
In the settings panel, where you select who can view/edit forms, it would be nice to be able to define the groups to exclude. This way when you add a new user group, you don't need to update the settings of EasyForms.
Also, who can create a new form should be separated from who can fill it. The admin could be the only one able to create a new form, while all registered members could fill and submit it.

Thanks for that mod.

Banana please help me with my error.
At the top of the form it says:

PHP Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/forumname/public_html/forums/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(2574) : eval()'d code on line 1

Only those able to edit forms are able to view form results 'Saved in Database'.

Find in plugin: Easy Forms Part 1

PHP Code:

$navbits = construct_navbits(array(

Replace

PHP Code:

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => construct_phrase('Forms')));

Hello,
is it possible to use this in conjunction with Edit New Thread Button to specify the forum in which the new thread will be created?

I currently use it so that my classifieds forums use the Form to Thread hack.
It works ok but this is a more elegant solution.
Could I call this hack with a query string like I currently do with the Form Hack and pass the forum ID along to create the new thread in the specified forum?
E.g. newthread.php?do=classified&f=198 runs the classified template passing the forum id as 198.

Great Mod, thanks very much!

I'm trying to put together a "For Sale" template to get some consistency on selling threads, and just realised I'm missing an important component (I think).

Is there any way to request an image please?

This is what I've come up with so far for my forms' output, as a matter of interest - (constructive criticism and suggestions welcomed ) - if i could end up with an image on each item line I would be a happy chappie..
Attachment 98570

Just noticed - your "Coming Soon" item will address this won't it? Doh!

I love this addon - the one thing I would love is an option to add a Thread Prefix field where users can select which thread prefix if they are posting a thread in a board.

Hi,

Would you have an idea of how to prevent users from submiting the form more than once?

For letting users fill a form but not view the others, here is my work around in case someone is interested:
- All registered users can create/fill a form
- I give registered users the direct link to fill the form (not the form listing)
- I do a post to forum and I make this forum readable only to admin
- I adust the post confirmation message and navbar to make it opaque to registered users

I'll probably add this as feature in next release.
