I'd just like to express how awesome this mod is. I'm using it on my live 3.8.4 site and it's great to know it's available for 4.x if/when I decide to move.

[Giedreb]

Killer mod! Two questions.

1. How to place a form into a custom page/template?
2. I need to add a custom bbcode at the start of every form message section so that when the form first comes up there is already a bbcode in the message area and the users type below it and then submit.

This mod is a HUGE leap over Abe's old hack. How can I hide the forms list from registered users but still have the ability for admins to see it to edit?

What about users who have subscribe to threads on by default? Is there a way to block a form from being able to be subscribed?

Lastly, is there a way to deny anyone from using the form if they don't have enough posts or have not been registered for x amount of days?

[jimfries]

My general users are not able to view the forum at all, they keep getting this message:

TestUser, 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.

The way I'm using this form is for a "Guild Recruitment" application. The Applications are being submitted into our forums, but I am putting it into a forum that only my Officers can review, not the applicants or general population.

I'm assuming, since those members are not able to see or post normally in that forum, it is not letting them review the form at all. Is this the case? If so, how do I circumvent this? The Users that will use the form are in the 'registered users' category, and the people able to view the forum its being submitted into are listed as 'Officers'

Here are the settings I'm using:
Usergroups Allowed to View Form Lists: Everything is highlighted
Usergroups Allowed to View Forms: Everything is highlighted
Usergroups Allowed to View Form Results: Administrators, Officers
Usergroups Allowed to Edit Forms: Administrators, Officers
Navbar Link: No
Quick Links Link: Yes

Any help is appreciated.

Jim, the way I have mine set up (for a similar purpose) is to allow Registered users to post in your private forum but not allow them to see the forum. That way, the application can be posted but they cannot see it or the discussion about it.

[jimfries]

Set it so the Registered Users can post forum posts, and post polls... but not view and still get the same error

www.distortedguild.com is the website.

[jimfries]

Found it. After hours of searching on the site, in and out of admin.

If you go into the form itself, you can choose who can view or not view the form.

[fishmaster]

Can you attach images within the form?

[gator777]

This is an awesome script ...thanks for all your hard work.

So the xml downloaded from the 3.8.4 version will work with the 4.x version?

Hi,

Is this also solved yet... so the import of the 3.8.4 can be done in VB4 ? Would be a great help on it..

Thanks.
