At the moment, users submitting the forum, need permission to attach files in forum, thread is being posted in. Otherwise they will get no permission error

Just imported form, and it worked fine on my forum. What vBulletin version are you running?

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.

On Edit Form page:

1. Add the following php code in the Form Hook: Form Start box:
2. PHP Code:

   $navbits = construct_navbits(array(
'customurl' => construct_phrase("yourtexthere"),
'' => construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_form'], $form['title'])
));
$navbardone = true; 

3. Change customurl above to a url like showthread.php?thread=1
4. Change yourtexthere to text you want displayed, eg. thread 1

I've been trying to get this working but for some reason it isn't letting me do it atm.

I looked through all 23 pages of this thread and don't believe I found an answer to my question. Is there a way to move the radio buttons and the text box more to the right, as well as increasing the width of the question section?

You would have to edit css

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Style Variable Editor

Change Forms -> form_columnleft_width

This may effect others areas of the forum which use the same css

I'll give it a try. Thanks.
