Creating a form as a Vendors agreement.
1/ Your Company Name .. Single line text field
2/ Vendors Agreement .. Custom
3/ Comments .. Multi-line text field
4/ Agree to agreement .. yes/no question

When form is submitted, everything but the agreement is submitted but the only place I could place the agreement is in the 'custom' description box. I need that agreement submitted with the form !?

Thanks

I don't understand. Are you using custom output?

My one remaining issue is to do with the drop down list of the forums in the custom question (now #1 with prefix #2 question and yes I do have a default forum to get the prefixes from) and filtering using an array. I am using:

$answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] . "\">";
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if (!in_array($qo['forumid'], array(53,9999,34,55,65)))
{
continue;
}
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";

However I still don't get any values displayed - the drop down list is empty - would you mind please checking the syntax for this? (I am launching the form from forum 53 by the way)

Finally - one unrelated question - is it possible to display the prefix in the custom form output - I don't see a variable name for it and wondered.

Many thanks for your help.

Try this: (I've altered line 4)

PHP Code:

$answer = "<select name="$formbit[id]" id="q_" . $formbit[id]  . "">";
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forumid  => $forum)
{
if (!in_array($forumid, array(53,9999,34,55,65)))
{
continue;
}
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value="$forumid"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>"; 


Have you tried using the question hash of the prefix question?

Custom 'form' template used to create the agreement.
The 'description' box of that template used to add the vendor agreement text.
The custom template added to other already listed elements to complete the form.

All other elements submit as required, but the agreement text does not.

hi. it has been a while that I am looking at this mod and would like to know one thing:

can this mod allow the creation of mutliple choice questions and answers that would allow my members to learn new stuff by taking virtual quizzes ?????

[Scan Cape Cod]

I'm running 4.1.2 and the latest version of this mod, which is fantastic. Internet Explorer 8 seems to be having some issues with drop-down menus though...confirmed by two different PC's. The drop-down is only showing the first character of the choices.

It works fine in IE9. Is this an issue anyone else is having? I searched this thread but didn't see anything. As far as I can tell this has only come up after I upgraded to 4.1.2 and the latest version of the mod.

Thanks.

I have a question.... hopefully an easy solution.

Is there a way to have the text editor with the insert picture button. When i chose text editor as an option it appears to be missing.

Everything thing is working great and would love to go live with the forms but this is my missing link to making this happen.

Any help is greatly appreciated

If the agreement text is not included within an answer, for instance if it is in a question description, then it wouldn't go through to the form result
