Are you using custom output? If so try using {qo_1} instead of {q_1}

i uninstalled the 406 version and reinstalled it and got the same error numbers as answers instead of words or letter, so i uninstalled again and installed 403 and it worked as it did when i made the forms so its in that new version whatever it is

I cannot replicate issue, what question types are you using?

Hi BannaLive, is there anything being done with the auto-subscribe function. I still can't get the user to be subscribed to the new thread, thanks.

I thought someone posted about this one, but I cant seem to find the post, unless I am simply confused which is not uncommon.

I only allow access to the Forms navbar tab for admins. Site users access the individual forms via direct links from different places in the site. Since they dont have access to the forms navbar tab, the selected navbar ends up defaulting to the Forum tab, which might be confusing to a site member.

I was thinking there may be 2 different ways I could address this. One would be to figure out how to get the selectednavtab to work with a different tab. I tried adding a conditional on the 'Easy Forms - Forms Tab' plugin to set the selectednavtab to, for example, 'vbcms', but end result is that no tab is selected when viewing a form. (this is cleaner than having the forum tab selected, but not ideal)

The other option I thought of was modifying the navbit section, which I circled in the attached image. What would be ideal is if rather than linking to site.com/misc.php?do=forms it could link to a custom URL based on the form I was using. Then at least, the site user could easily navigate back to where they had been previous to selecting the form.

What field type are you using?

Have you got anything in your form hooks?

Have you modified any of the templates?

It's happening with all of my forms, they are a mixed bag, radio buttons, free text, etc.

Here's some screenshots to show you what's happening.

Here's the form before you fill it in:


Here's the form after I've filled it in:


Here's the "preview":


Here's what it looks like in the form results:


I've checked the tables, no errors in structure.

Here's what the sdata field looks like:

a:13:{i:32;s:4:"1979";s:0:"";s:1:"'";i:33;s:5:"Targa";i:34;s:18:"Normally Aspirated";i:35;s:1:"B";i:36;s:4:"M-EU";i:37;s:10:"W50 Manual";i:38;s:1:"W";i:39;s:1:"t";i:40;s:1:"t";i:41;s:1:"t";i:42;s:1:"t";i:43;s:1:"'";}

So it's getting mauled before insertion into the table.

Any ideas?

In template form_view delete <div class="body_wrapper"> on line 1 and its closing </div> at the end.

Template conflict.

( not responding to anyone's problems, just something I noticed )
