Instead specify the title in the Form Hook

Form Hook: Before Submit

PHP Code:

$threadtitle = "Text before " . $vbulletin->session->vars['customcolumnname'] . " and text after"; 


This works great. Thanks!

Now, life would be complete if I could figure out how to add an attachment to a submitted email form. :-D

The hooks are for exec'ing additional php code. Not needed for most people

I think it will most likely be due to incorrect formatting of single line text question's regular expression

Thanks!.

Another question, is there a way to predefine the location of the post resulting from the form, by means of some question or option?.

I have had this installed for a while now and i must say foe me its the best mod ever.

I m using this in 4 ways on my site and the things you can do with it are great.

So many thanks for this mod

its sweet for sure, but i have found a few bugs that are discussed elsewhere , The thing I'm getting now is, when you copy a form then you must edit it , but even when you do it wont work says you must add subject and topic or something like that its been mentioned before in here. anyways there is that but what i find is as you make forms and i need a lot of them , they stack sequentially on top of each other, so i copy ed 50 and then found i couldn't use them now when you go to make a new form you must start out at{q_1} and I'm at like {q_500} but really only have maybe 20 answers, but because i deleted them it now starts at higher numbers.

I was wondering if you can clear the data_tables or something, not even sure if thats what the deal is but I don't really have that many answers yet it thinks i do ...LOL

what I really need is a way to not need so many forms. if i had one that could choose a state from the drop down question then when its selected actually post it to that states thread I wouldn't need 51 forms :> sigh

if i uninstall it then reinstall it will the q_1 be back at q_1 and not q_500 ?

Has anyone else noticed how messed up it looks when you try and edit questions when using Internet Explorer 8?

Scratch that... Bananalive posted a workaround in post #66 of this thread. Must have missed it the first time I read the thread.

Thanks.
