Great mod thanks 5* + MOTM

is it possible to allow only admin to export data xml and excel and disable this feature for other groups?

No rush on this if not, just a suggestion for when you release a new version. Another suggestion would be to make it so it goes to different questions based on your answers.

Import attached file, then questions without correct answer will not be marked as incorrect

I have been able to get away from google doc forms thanks to you. Now all we need to do is make it so we can use advanced formulas realtime like in excel spread sheets and I will be able to get away from it entirely, lol. I know that's a pipe dream, that would be way to much work for one person to do.

Cheers, the permission to export xml is the same as the permission to view form results.

Hi!

I setup a form and its working great..

My form is an application process that outputs to a thread.. is it possible to allow users to fill out the form without having an account to my website/forums? If so how would I do that?

Thanks,

[markb5900]

As everyone else has said, what a great mod.

I have a large amount of forms and have decided I need to add some questions to them all.
Is there an easy way to "mass add" questions to all the forms. Or just an easy way to copy and paste the code into each form instead of going into each one individually and adding the 3 questions?
The order will be the same for all the forms, just need to add the individual questions.

Thanks

Depending on where your form is located on your site, you should be able to use the permissions in
admincp>options>easyformoptions

In there you can set who can see the forms list etc..

I see that and was able to get that part to work.. one more question.

Is it possible to add the registration process to a form? IE you click my recruitment button it takes you to the application form and if you're not logged in the first section is to register for the site?

Not really.

You could re-direct the unregistered users to the registration page, from the form, and then once they are registered they will be able to view the recruitment form.

Edit Form -> Form PHP Hooks

Form Hook: Form Start:

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
  $vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/register.php";    
  eval(print_standard_redirect('You need to register before you can view/submit this form', 0, 1));
} 


Or for standard login/register message

Form Hook: Form Start:

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
  print_no_permission();
}

I'm afraid there's not a way to do that.

If you have access to phpmyadmin you could create the question in one form and then using phpmyadmin copy the corresponding row of `formbits` table and then just edit `fid` column for each question to the appropriate form id.
