And second: is it somehow possible that users of a form could upload a picture via form that will be shown in a post/thread (as an attachment)? How would I do such a thing, how would I set up a form field (custom?)?

And maybe you can take a look at this old post of mine: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=956

I hope I made myself understood... Thankyou very much!

1. Yes, using form hooks. For example: Form Hook: Form Start:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['select']==1)
{
$qo['316']=1;
$q['316']=1;
} 


http://www.yourforums.com/forums/misc.php?do=form&fid=41&select=1
This would select the first option of question with question hash 316

2. Yes, click enable attachments. (Only available for forms creating new threads)

I do not understand what you mean? Are you talking about form sections? or sections elsewhere in vBulletin?

bananalive, you rock, thank you very much!!

Hi there - seeking some advice on how to use forms for replying to thread posts. I have set up and working well for controlling new posts to forums. Many thanks for the earlier advice re that.

Also with regard to polls, could you add a variable on the end of this - I am keen to differentiate my polls per post but as the questions are all the same per post (which is what I want), VB seems to just show the latest voted thread - ie through the poll widget.....

Are you referring to Form Results Poll or creating a thread with a poll?

[Gomojoe]

I'm having a problem with permissions. I set it to allow unregistered/not logged in users to be able to see the forms, but when I click on my form when I am not logged in I get the "I do not have permission" notice. Is there something I'm missing here?

Hi - I mean creating a poll upon form submission.

This is the problem I'm currently having. The forum permissions and usergroup permissions are configured correctly, yet only admin can attach files. Did you ever resolve this?

How can I move the position of the tab? I'd like to have it at the end of the other tabs, or at least further away from 'Forum'.

1. Find in plugin Easy Forms - Forms Tab
   
   PHP Code:

   $template_hook['navtab_middle'] 

2. Replace with
   
   PHP Code:

   $template_hook['navtab_end']
