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>';

I've started receiving the following message when guests submit the form:

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed.

The issue is there is no human verification field in the form - so there is nowhere to enter an answer.

When I add a human verification field the issue changes but is related. The verification appears but the form will submit and show that error if I enter the verification correctly - if I don't the normal inline warnings appear preventing submission.

In my ignorance I suspect VB is trying to add it's own verification image but it's not being displayed correctly. Can anyone confirm?

Tested with ReCAPCHTA and Image Verification

Running VB4.1.7 PL2 & VBSEO and mod version 4.3.0 on default VB theme.

Thank you for any assistance.

EDIT: Further digging reveals this was a previous issue I reported in 4.0.2 which was fixed - can anyone tell me what the fix was? Post #143

EDIT2: Rolling back progressively found that forms V4.1.9 is the last working version for me. Forms V4.1.9 displays a verification image for guests by default - future versions don't.

I tried to read through everything but there is a lot here. I just have a small issue:

1) I created a form
2) I added a new usergroup
3) I went to the form permissions to add the new usergroup
4) The new usergroup does not show up on the current form.

Is there something I can do - or do I have to delete and recreate the form from scratch?

BTW - this mod is awesome and has saved me SO much work. Thx!!

I still absolutely love this mod, and it's helped me greatly.

My forms get sent to an e-mail address, and I'd like the reply to go to the user who submitted it (their e-mail address).

Earlier bananalive responded about a plugin and hook:

Upgrade to Easy Forms v4.3.0


AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin

Create a plugin using hook: easy_forms_action_email

and to use this...
$uheaders .= 'Reply-To: = email@domain' . "\r\n";

I'm actually looking for the code to replace email@domain with the email address of the user who submitted the form if possible. I've tried a few variations and failed unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

I just noticed that threads that are automatically created with a poll from a form, have

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() [path]/poll.php line 688

at the top of the page when viewing poll results. On 4.1.8


Update, I actually think this is just a bug with my board or possibly 4.1.8 when viewing poll results for a poll I have not yet voted in, as the code does not appear if I view results on a poll I have voted in.

Hahaha Update Update, Known bug in 4.1.8 http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-13614 Will be fixed in 4.1.10

[wally07]

I'm on 4.1.9 and when new forms get submitted, whatever the last answer was, it gets copied onto all previous questions.

anyone else experiencing that?

[jacobi]

This is a fantastic mod. Thank you for contributing it!!

[vantastic]

This is an excellent mod! Thank you very much.

One future improvement would be to add default values. Other than that, it's great

I have tried installing this mod by following the instructions, but when I try to go to the form page (http://memphisroar.com/forum/forms.php?do=forms), I get a 404/page not found error. What doofus mistake did I make? LOL
