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

Thanks!

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.

You can use form php hooks and php function substr()

Nothing, I think it comes up when someone forgets to answer a mandatory field.

I'm not sure how you would do this. Can I pay someone to get a 'payment' question working for me via paypal etc...?

Had a question for you. Is there anyway to get the max text amount over 5000 i need it to be around 5600-6000. Some of are forms a very large.

[Elenna]

That is likely a vBulletin setting for the max characters per post. You can change that in the settings (Message Posting options, I believe).

I must not be looking in the right areas or something. Is there a way to edit the top part of a form when they are looking to fill it out.

[sniper pak]

Friends, i have very strange question...pls help.

1. Admin of forms create form with option save to DB and posting result to forum.
2. User fill out and submit.
3. User wants to change its, and send PM to admin of forms. Example: @I made a mistake with Number of places, I have not 3, i wanna 4".
4. Admin changed result of form.
5. But, in autopost 3 not changed on 4!

Q: How to link edit the result in the administrative part of the result in a forum?

I originally asked, "Is there any way to add an "Upload Photo" field?? "

Ok, I tried this, but then I have to go back to all the usergroups and change their permissions to allow attachments and then they can view the attachments box.

Is there a way to add a short "Upload" button that just says, "browse for photo" or something to that effect without having to give sitewide attachment permissions??

I need an "Upload Photo" button that can be used if the form is being sent to email, rather than posted to thread and submission of photo is Required- not optional.
