Still no luck with easy forms and permissions.
For an Admin it works fine but a regular member unless I change the settings to the point where he can see everyones information it will not work.

This is what the user see's after he fills out the form and its saved to the database and the comes back to see his data.

Forms
Serial Number Registry
Your Form Results

If he clicks on the "Your Form Results" he gets.
____________________________________________
Tester1, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1.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?
2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation
__________________________________________________ __

As an admin I can see his form just fine.

Under the form permissions I have it set like this.

See attachment #1

Under Easy forms settings I have it set like this: See attachment 2-5



Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have everything working except I cannot get a registered user to be able to see their own information while not being able to see every one's. I am feeling real stupid right now:erm:

user: test / password 123456

Try to send a message like (Aqu? estamos ttodos unidos g?ria"

I tried to reply to your email, but the email bounced.

What have you got in your custom form output. This will be what is causing the error, rather than the special characters.

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.

I think you are confusing permissions.

Editing forms (i.e. Form 1 created by user1, Form 2 created by user 2) and editing form results (ie. what user 3 and user 4 have submitted to form 1) are two separate permissions.

Kind of like them having private info that only them or an admin can see?
Because that also does not work on mine.

You can currently do, this by adjusting permissions.

For a form by form basis, you can use attached and edit permission 'Form results database' (under edit form -> form permissions.

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,

I'm still having this issue.

Bananalive I want to thank you so much for taking the time out to add that option to the permissions. It's exactly what I need for what I am trying to do, I am going to try this out as soon as I get home and have access to my sandbox environment.

Thank you so much.
BTW do you have a PayPal donation link?

Bananalive it works great, thank you so much
One question, how do I prevent the Registered user from exporting all the results into an excel file?
I noticed it blocks them from seeing other peoples info but the export option sends out everything.

BTW I signed up to your website to look for a Donate button and could not find one, how do I send you a donation. Your support has been outstanding and I want to give something back.

Hi Bananalive

Works perfectly, thank you so much for all the help.
I sent you a donation, so check your email.


BTW you should officially make this version 4.2.7 on the first page. These changes add a great new feature and don't change anything if the person does not tick the new option. Just a suggestion

Thanks again
Rob

I've got this:

{qn_106}: {qo_106}

{qn_107}: {qo_107}

Any ideas?
