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:



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!

$uheaders .= 'Reply-To: = ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['email'] . "\r\n";

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>'; 


Use following code..
(first line changed .= to =)

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>';

Hi all,

tried to find an answer, but no luck.

Can I add a form inline into an article?
Is there a BB Code or something to add into an article so that a form could be filled inside an article?

If html is enabled for article...

Embed using <iframe>

http://www.yourforum.com/forums/misc...&fid=2&embed=1
Change 2 to the appropriate form id

[chrisu]

Thanks, it helps. Although the form is not formatted like normal. Can I add the css styling with some tag?

I cant. Have it all installed and I still cant even access the page to build the form. Which should be noted isnt even listed on this mods description. You currently have to search around page 30 or so with the information pointing to the older version which does list it. however I digress, as an administrator this mod says I dont have permission to use it. Sooo... until I see otherwise. No good.

I have problems with editing the form...

(an error/warning is that it's missing "jquery-1.4.4.min.js")

[vinkenier]

Can I let guest/not registered visitors see and fill in the forms also?
The link to the forms doesn't show up for them on the menu (using vb 4.1.9)

-> fixed by also enabling 'list forms' for every group.
