Go to your acp and Search for the phrase "form" and change it to what you would have to

Any idea when the IE issue is going to be resolved?

Hello bananalive,
at first many thanks for this great AddOn!

I translatet it into german (language-file), but there are some hardcoded textareas. Will you clean this up to "full phrased"? This would be really great!
If it's ok for you, i would help to do this (create phrases und insert them into the addon instead of hardcoded text).

I must be missing something, I just installed with 4.1.2 and i don't have a clue where to go to create a new form. It's just a blank page at misc.php?do=form on my site. I assume permissions issue or maybe something with the custom template?

can I get the direct url to create a form perhaps?

I tried installing this on version 4.1.0 and it causes major problems with the template. I have this installed on another forum (4.0.5) and it runs just fine, so I don't believe that it is user error. Am I missing something else?

I need to switch my forums to a new host.. Im going to rebuild the forums there because Im having issues..

Is there anyway to export a form or do I need to rebuild it?

}


These are the same forums as the code in the custom question is using in the form itself i.e.

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

Try creating a copy of the form, and test that - just to double check that there isn't something happening with tthis fid.

Yes, there is a link to export each form, on the forms list.

The form results will not be copied across.

It works fine for me on vB v4.1.x - what template is not displaying properly? Or do you have a screenshot?
