2 bananalive: It is possible to add a way to "TAG" thread by choosed answer on question?

[S S0DEN]

4.1.4 - Installed update but the editor does not work on test.

[S S0DEN]

How would I edit the title Forms in the Navbar? Also I would like to change the destination URL when the user clicks the Navbar link to the actual form and not the list of forms. Version 4.1.4

This is exactly what I need, thank you so much for making it so easy to install. I now see the Easy Form options in my user CP. However, I don't have a link in my forum quick links, and can not figure out where in the forum I can find the form editor. Where do I go, or what do I do next to start building a form? If this is a silly question or is already covered my apologies. I am a relative neophyte to vBulletin so please point me in the right direction if you can. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you bananalive for the multi select code.

[helwoe]

Sorry for the double post.

Thank you very much Bananalive for the multi-select code!
I found if I use more than one custom question with this code, the extra questions show up as double drop downs side by side instead of just one drop down each.

PHP Code:

$answer .= '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'[]" multiple="multiple" size="4">';
$answer .= '<option></option>';
$thisanswer = explode(',',$qo[$formbit[id]]);
$members = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE membergroupids LIKE "%17%"
ORDER BY username ASC");
    while($row = $db->fetch_array($members)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[username].'"';
if (in_array($row[username], $thisanswer)) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>';

Installed Easy Forms in just ten minutes. Excellent user interface. This mod is truly outstanding.

Question: Is there a way to put a PAYPAL button at the end of the form? I have people renewing memberships via the form, and would like to let them pay immediately.

Thanks to Bananalive for really great work.

Hi there Dom.

The refresh of what was the last post in a forum using a plugin seems to have stopped working probably due to another change I made using arrays to have the thread prefix working. The move itself to the correct forum is fine but not the forum details update - keen to have this working again. (think it is at the bottom of the code below)

We added a plugin that moved the thread to the correct forum (newthread_post_complete) and it has the following:

if ($fid == 1)
{
$forumid = $q['forumid'];
$dataman =& datamanager_init('Thread', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
$dataman->set_existing($threadinfo);
$dataman->setr('forumid', $forumid);
$dataman->pre_save();
if (count($dataman->errors) > 0)
{
foreach ($errors as $error)
{
$errorss .= $error. "<br />";
}
$errormessage = "Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured: <br /> ".$errorss;
eval(standard_error($errormessage));
}
else
{
$dataman->save();
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($newpost['threadid']);
mark_thread_read($threadinfo, $foruminfo, $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], TIMENOW);
build_thread_counters($newpost['threadid']);
build_forum_counters($forumid);
}
}

I have pasted below the code for the custom question from the form that I think is related:

$newarray = array(
158 => $vbulletin->forumcache['158'],
160 => $vbulletin->forumcache['160'],
161 => $vbulletin->forumcache['161'],
162 => $vbulletin->forumcache['162'],
163 => $vbulletin->forumcache['163'],
165 => $vbulletin->forumcache['165'],
167 => $vbulletin->forumcache['167'],
168 => $vbulletin->forumcache['168'],
169 => $vbulletin->forumcache['169'],
170 => $vbulletin->forumcache['170'],
172 => $vbulletin->forumcache['172'],
174 => $vbulletin->forumcache['174'],
175 => $vbulletin->forumcache['175'],
177 => $vbulletin->forumcache['177'],
179 => $vbulletin->forumcache['179'],
181 => $vbulletin->forumcache['181'],
61 => $vbulletin->forumcache['61'],
182 => $vbulletin->forumcache['182'],
183 => $vbulletin->forumcache['183'],
184 => $vbulletin->forumcache['184'],
186 => $vbulletin->forumcache['186'],
188 => $vbulletin->forumcache['188'],
190 => $vbulletin->forumcache['190'],
191 => $vbulletin->forumcache['191'],
193 => $vbulletin->forumcache['193'],
56 => $vbulletin->forumcache['56'],
194 => $vbulletin->forumcache['194'],
195 => $vbulletin->forumcache['195'],
197 => $vbulletin->forumcache['197'],
);
$answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] . "\">";
foreach ($newarray AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";

I have also pasted the code for the newthread_form_start -

if (in_array($forumid, array(158,160,161,162,163,165,167,168,169,170,172, 174,175,177,179,181,61,182,183 ,184,186,188,190,191,193,56,194,195,197)))
{
header('Location: /listings/misc.php?do=form&fid=1');
}

Can you advise please?

Thank you

Mark

I installed this on 4.1.4, but my administrator account(s) receive the "No Permission" error when trying to view the forms listing. Any ideas?
