Many Thanks!!!!

Import attached file and use {bbuserinfo.field7}

Yes

The user submitting the form, may need permissions to change the display name.

Also, did the user have a custom display title that might have stopped it.

What can I put in this field to send the user to the thread they just created ?

URL of webpage user is redirected to:

Thanks so much for responding back so quickly! I've tried using {bbuserinfo.field7} but it's not working for me I also tried another profile field to see if it was because (field7) is setup to not display publicly (it's the users real name and is "hidden" in the setup) but the other profile field, which is public (not hidden), did not display either. I also imported the file overwritting the orig. My goal is to include their real name along with their user name in the form results.

Thanks again for a great mod!!!

I want to use Easy Forms as a Review tool. There are some items (product a, product b, product c) where a user can choose one, rate it and write a review about it. However, therefore I need Easy Forms to only allow a user to write an entry once for each product. How can that be accomplished?

Create a form for each product, (create form for product a then use the 'copy form' function)

Then put the number of times a user can submit the form as 1

How can I redirect to the thread created by the form?

1. Edit Form
2. Tick the checkbox 'Redirect user after form is submitted'
3. URL of webpage user is redirected to:
   http://www.yoursite.com/showthread.php?p=$newpost[postid]#post$newpost[postid]

I have thousands of products, therefore I wanted to have one entry field set as a "click on of these thousands of products" field. How can I use Easy Forms so that a user can submit the form with one criterium ("product field") only? Thanks.

@bananalive,

installed and convinced: this is a great addon! And I appreciate your work.

I managed nearly everything I wanted to do with it. Except one thing:
inserting the formdata into an existing or new database table

How can this be managed?

Many thanks!
