Hello, I just realized there seems to be a bug with this…

I have it setup to create new posts in a couple of sub-forums where I want specific information to be included in the posting. That part works great.

The issue is, I am finding that NONE of the posts in these two sub-forums are being indexed for searching. Somehow, Easy Forums is bypassing whatever script is causing new posts to be indexed for searching (via vBulletin's built-in DB Search).

I am running vBulletin v4.2.2 Patch Level 1

TIA,
-Tom

Anyone got this running with vB 4.2.2 on a server using PHP 5.3.10 with Suhosin (I know, I know - not my choice...)?

Is this Addon abandoned?

[robbyg]

Unfortunately I believe this Mod has been abandoned. There are several major problems with it such as the permissions don't work properly.

Does anybody know of anything that is similar that I might try?

[djbaxter]

Works fine for me vB 4.2.2 PL1

[robbyg]

I am also using 4.2.2 sp1 and I have not been able to make the permissions work as described.
A user cannot be blocked from editing another persons form unless you also block them editing or even seeing their own form. Most of the permissions just dont work as they are supposed to.

[djbaxter]

None of that is true in my installation. Either you are doing something incorrectly or you have a conflict with another add-on.

[robbyg]

Can you limit a user to only seeing the forms they filled out?
Kind of like them having private info that only them or an admin can see?
Because that also does not work on mine.

[djbaxter]

Yes. That is essential for my purpose

[robbyg]

Thanks, I am going to retry this installation and see what happens.
I will let you know one way or the other if I have any luck.
