No, you would have to use custom output.

Or edit question and then type it in 'Question' box

Use it within 'Thread/ PM/ Email Title:'

You need a / at beginning and end of the string.
Also a $ (dollar sign) before last slash so it matches the whole string.

/^[0-9]{1,4}$/

Remove this line from plugin: Easy Forms Part 1

PHP Code:

$threadinfo['issubscribed'] = false;

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!

You can add php code to add it to any table in Form Hook: Before Submit

Or collect the data in the Forms Table by selecting 'Save to Database'

4.0.2 seems to have buggered up the format of this...

http://www.botbh.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=1

Is this something I've done wrong, or a bigger issue in 4.0.2 and this app?

[Sarcoth]

Thanks again bananalive. I'll try to come up with another question later.

For some reason after a re-install I am able to now edit/delete questions, however I can't get the form to post in a thread.

Is there an actual button somewhere that submits everything? I just see a bunch of save buttons under each field. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance.
