You can use the attachment manager for posting new threads, but not for replies to existing threads.

You can set Form Permissions by Editing Form

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?

Subscriptions dont currently work with the form so you wont have that problem.

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?

Form Hook: Form Start

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts']<5)
{
print_no_permission();
}

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.

1. Nope

2. Add the custom bbcode to beginning of: Edit Form -> Answer BB code:

I am using it as a "thread starter" for products in my forums. It is running very smooth on 4.02, minus one issue...

I can't delete a form. I can create, modify, export, etc, just can't delete. It gives the option and even confirms do I wan to delete, but them it does nothing.

Any idea?

Is your Javascript enabled in your browser and have you uploaded the easyforms.js to \clientscript\

That doesn't seem to do it, I also tried setting it to true.

Any help is appreciated.

Some sort of glitch. The hack installed ok and I can view the forms but when I edit them I am missing some selections.

Post new thread text box is there, but does not show the drop-down menu to select the forum as shown in bananalive's screenshot: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...4&d=1264688078

Also I cannot delete forms or delete parts of a form like a text question etc.

VB 4.0.2

Hi, i have problem with setting group rights up for this hack. If i set which usergroup can do specific action and save settings, everything is fine, but when i edit vbulletin options via "Show All Settings" and then save changes, half of my usergroups lose their rights for Easy Forms. If i recheck settings, the are NOT marked.

Using vB 4.0.2 PL1

Please try && fix it

Thanks

Holy

Is displayed wrong on my forum (vb 4.0.2). View the image: http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4742/capr.png

Probe with several skins and does not change ...

[rfsforums]

Questions proceeded by an asterisk (*) are compulsory.

but they are actually followed by an asterisk. I've searched everywhere I can think of, where would I find this statement so that I can change it?

Thanks again for a great Mod!
