To get to your forms, don't visit forms.php directly. Instead go to your_forum/misc.php?do=forms

Elenna,

Thanks. I tried html href. It doesn't work either. Any other suggestions?

[Elenna]

I just checked, we have a link in our Description section with this format:
link text here

If you're trying it in the title, maybe it won't work?

And just to confirm, it is displaying the code when people view the form, or it's displaying the code after they submit the form and the results are sent to a PM or new thread?

Hi there.

One tweak I wanted to make is pass the forum in the string - [MAP]{qo_72},{qo_73},{qo_74}[/MAP] but strip a prefix I have on the forum (one of the questions).

For example if {qo_73} actually contained "PD_Wakari", I wanted the insert in to the string to be "Wakari" i.e. drop the first 3 chars. I know how to do that in Excel but not that useful here!

Is there a simple way to do this please?

Thanks.

Mark

Title: Map
BB Code Tag Name: map
Replacement: - code from previous post
Example: [map]Paris,France[/map]
Description: Insert Google map

then in the form output add something like:
[MAP]{qo_72},{qo_73},{qo_74}[/MAP]

For me the best results I have when I use:
[MAP]number and street, city ,country[/MAP]

I am currently using this form for an employee to request a vacation from work
What I would like to do is check the start date against todays date and make sure it is 2 weeks in advance.

Can you point me in the right direction with what code or hook I can use

Thanks!

Have you put anything in the php form hooks?

Nope, you would have to create a custom question for this
