There is only one problem: if usergroup is not allowed to post threads (Forum Permissions: 'Can post threads yes/no' they are not allowed to attach files (mostly pics). The form attachment upload window gives the usual error message saying "<username>, You don't have permission blaa blaa". This is quite strange behavior since posting a thread is possible, but not attachments.

And I tested this several times, and the only setting that allows using attachments in the form is 'Can post threads: yes' for the particular forum. None of the other setting have effect on the issue. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Description of the form(s):

Form Action: Post New Thread, Allow Attachments

Thanks for checking this hh.org. i am also looking to use the forms as a means to a classifieds, and this functionality would be critical to me as well.

So... Can this run with 4.1.10 and can users successfully upload photos of items for sale if using this form?

Outside of that it looks like what i'm looking for...

I guess no one else is using Easy Forms this way? Or has the same problem? Or is reading this thread

Not sure if this is meaningful, but I am using vBulletin 4.1.5 PL3

[deverill2010]

I am using the latest version of this.

What I am wanting to do though is call a specific form within a CMS article. I have tried Iframes but it calls the whole VB page ASWELL as the form, how do I get it to just show the form?

Seems a bit hit and miss.

Some users in usergroups can use it no worries at all, then other get error messages like the below.

Using vBulletin 4.1.10 btw

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Xxxxxxx, Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Anyone? I'm kind of held up until I can get this sorted.

Hi

Installed and working great on 4.1.10

I have read the first 20 pages and searched, I need to know how to automatically include the members email address in the form that is emailed to me.

Any way that can be done?

[Trevor Matthews]

It was in fact a simple thing to do.
Just use {bbuserinfo.email}

Has anyone got this mod working to allow attachments to be sent when the form is emailed out to me?

Thank you for porting this over to version 4. I was using the version for my VB3 forum and stopped being able to use it when I jumped versions.
Since I found a gallery program to house all my images I really needed something like this to make a artwork/wiki link setup. But I looked at this like I looked at the VB3 version and had that deer in the headlights look. I did remember you made a demo xml form for me to get started and it's still live in the old thread. I nabbed it and I'm off to save myself hours of having to generate all that by hand. With 120 albums that would be a lot of work. So combined with the embeded link generator module in the gallery and your mod for the forum this is going to be a snap.
THANK YOU!!!
