Is it possible to limit the entry length of a form entry field? For instance, can I limit a multi-line text box that is 60 columns by 10 lines that a person cannot enter more than those 600 characters?

Form Output Styling is no longer functional...

Example:

PHP Code:

[SIZE=4][COLOR=#0000ff][B]PLP - {q_119}[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][COLOR=#00eeff][B]{qn_122}[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][INDENT][SIZE=1][COLOR=#848484] Zahlen, Daten, Fakten...
Leitfragen:
Wie genau aeussert sich das Problem? 
Wie wirkt sich der Fehler aus?
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/INDENT] 


there are only blanks for {q_*}...

[scottkoz20]

use {qo_###}

[barnsi]

Sorry folks.
Everything is fine now. Version 4.04 is fully working with vB4.2.5 and PHP7.
For thread-title it is:

For {q_*} replace the question id with the *, e.g. to show question 1's output you would use {q_1}

I exported and imported forms while testing and everytime creating a new form the form-IDs are changing!

ok heres a fun challenge but i think i need a help in it...

to start i wrapped if conditionals around the new thread buttons to hide them for the forum using the easyforms....then as blind-eddie suggested i added back my own button to force topic starting thru the forms, again with if conditionals....perfectly, good stuff ;P

then heres the fun part.....ok so there is a form#2 which is meant to be posted inside the topic started by form #1....ive coded that perfectly as well....however! i want to ADD a button by "post reply" to give an option to reply by "form in thread" or a normal reply....

simple enough right?

<vb:if condition="$threadid == 201365701"><a href="https://www.mysite.com/forums/forms.php?do=form&fid=9" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="formreplylink_bottom"><span><i class="material-icons">&#xE0D8;</i></span>REPLY WITH FORM</a></vb:if>

haha well it works but that is no solution.....

what i need is......

1.if conditional for the button to only display for the topic author
2.and for button to only show in the threads of that forum....rather than how i manually entered the threadid in the above example....(i tried using forumid instead, like the thread starting buttons, but it didnt work for this)

thats easy for you alien brain coders?

thanks

Try giving the questions "Reference Name" and then that will stay the same after you re-import.

Having an issue for no apparent reason on this now. I have several forms and they all submit just fine but if I try to submit something using a form I created that has a special character like an umlat from the German language the form will not submit and I get the following message:

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

EDIT: Scratch that... It happens whenever I change a question in the form or change any info in the question. Anyone?

[HM666]

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

When this form posts to a new thread in a forum how does the layout of the form look? Just curious before I give it a try. I didn't see any customizing page layout options in the description.
