I'm getting 2 error messages.
Failed to submit form
Please fill out title and message fields
And
Please fill out title and message fields.

If memory serves this error also appeared in my VB3 setup but I can't remember how it was fixed. I'm sure it's something simple cause you don't make no trash. If we can get it going it will save me a lot of time and effort.

I got it sorted out. Just needed to make a new form from scratch. Works fine now.

It would be so extremely nice if there was an option to select Who Can View Results ... (hint hint)

How can I show two questions in a row

[zushiba]

bananalive, I've suddenly lost the ability to edit 3 of my forms. I tried to edit it via the URL but that just says I don't have access to edit those forms.
The Edit Form option is no longer present on the 3 forms we use the most. Every other form is still editable.

Message

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

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.

I am the head administrator of this forum. How do I not have access to edit these forms? I haven't fiddled with permissions in months and this just happened within the last week or so. I've not updated anything on the forum, addons, themes, nothing.

Not just asking bananalive, if anyone has any idea why I would suddenly lose the ability to edit these forms please let me know. This is sort of a crippling issue.

Did you double check the Easy Form view/edit permission settings in AdminCP?

[zushiba]

[S]Yes I did I even cleared and reset them. The result is the same I can edit every other form but the 3 I mentioned.

EDIT: I'm also unable to export these forms to make copies :/[/S]

EDIT2: I was finally able to track down the issue but I'm still scratching my head as to why this caused this particular problem.

This is the offending option that caused me the problem. It was set to yes


I've created every form so I figured, I'd only want people who created their forms to edit their forms IE: Me. Even though all the "Usergroups Allowed to Edit Forms" includes Admins.

Since I created all the forms, I don't understand how that option somehow turned off my ability to edit some forms while leaving other forms alone.

How do I get a form that posts a new thread to go in the moderation queue.

[hpidriver]

zushiba - that's funky, I've experienced a few issues that seem to be similar in the way that they have no obvious cause.

I would guess you need to turn post moderation on in the forum you've selected the results of the Easy form to post to.

1. Download and then extract .zip archive
Done.

2. Upload the contents of upload folder to forum root
(Allow Overwrite "YES" for overwrite)
clientscript\easyforms.css -> \clientscript\
clientscript\easyforms.js -> \clientscript\
Done.

3. Import product file (product-easyforms v4.0.xml) in admincp
AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
Done.

4. Change usergroups permissions at:
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Easy Form Option
This option does not appear in my AdminCP.

When I go to the AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager I see the following items unchecked and crossed out:

Force Thread Close
Force visible post
WOL Part 1
WOL Part 2

I thought that maybe this was the problem, but marking them active did nothing.

I have verified multiple times that all of the files have been uploaded to the proper locations on the webserver, and the file sizes are the same there as in my extracted d/l file.

I'm assuming that when I can see the Easy Form option in my AdminCP, I can make any necessary configs to make this work. But currently I have nothing.

Thanks in advance for any assistance in resolving this issue.

It is turned on, normal threads go into the moderation queue, threads created by the form bypass the moderation.
