Check your permissions for attachments as per the forum the form posts to.

Double check that you are editing ability for users to view form and not the ability to view form lists.

Well, Forum & Moderators --> Forum Permissions --> Can Upload Attachments is set to Yes.

Usergroup has the ability to attach up to 10MB files.

I double checked the form settings and the users are configured properly. The can view the forms but not the form lists.

Is noone having major issues with this product with 4.1? I have sql errors constantly. I had issues installing the product and had to edit the DB create statements and remove the TYPE=MYSAM or whatever to get it to import.

Now when I try to delete forms I get:

atabase error in vBulletin 4.1.1:

Invalid SQL:
DELETE FROM formbits WHERE fid=1  AND userid = '1';

MySQL Error   : Unknown column 'userid' in 'where clause'
Error Number  : 1054
Request Date  : Wednesday, February 2nd 2011 @ 03:19:20 PM
Error Date    : Wednesday, February 2nd 2011 @ 03:19:21 PM

Here's the one I was talking about when I import the product

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.1:

Invalid SQL:

  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `forms` (
  `fid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `description` text NOT NULL,
  `displayorder` int(10) NOT NULL,
  `action` int(3) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`fid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

MySQL Error   : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 8
Error Number  : 1064

Unicode characters like ب ت م and it does not make difference in any field. All turn into question marks.

Upgraded just now from a couple versions ago, not sure of the exact one, but
I didn't receive any SQL errors during product import nor have noticed any on my dev site.

Is yours a first time install or upgrade?

[paul41598]

bananalive, this mod makes my website recruit form so much easier. Thank you very much. On a side note, a lot of people over at xenforo really want this mod ported over. Some offering donations too. Do you have any plans to do this?

[thunderclap82]

I'm still waiting for a response too. I've checked the permissions for attachments per your suggestion yet non-admin users still can't attach files. Is there a hidden Forms setting somewhere I'm missing?
