For example:

Question 1: How old are you?


Output:

• 22 years old

Yes there is an option to create custom output when edit each form.

What is the difference between {q_*} {qo_*} and {qn_*} ???.

Edit:

Understood the difference between {qo_*} and {qn_*}.
{qo_*} sends the response and {qn_*} send the question.

One suggestion for future versions:
?One could be used ID relative and not absolute?, because when you copy a Form, it changes all the ID and we have to re-edit the entire Form.

Thanks!

The problem with relative question hashes is that if you re-order the questions then it would mess up all of the custom output.

I have added the option of 'Reference Name:' when creating/editing questions which can be used instead of question hashes and would remain the same when copying forms.

You could copy the code for posting a new thread into Form Hook: Before Submit:

(Changing forumid 31 to your preferred forumid in line 1 of code below)

PHP Code:

$forumid2 = 31;

if ($row[username] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>'; 


Change 2 to the desired usergroupid

Works like a charm - one addition if you could help me out please - how can I add secondary groups also?

FANTASTIC! Thank you so much...Installed

[munsonfan15]

I cannot get some custom ouput to work.

I have tried the following: {q_1}, {qo_1}, and {q_date} (date is the reference name I assigned_ and I iether get nothing or some funny symbols.

When I use {q_2} (this is a drop down box variable) that works everywhere I use it, in the body of the post and the post title - just dont know why the date question and radio box question do not work correctly.

the {qn_x} works and puts the actual question just fine.

[munsonfan15]

Well I thought all was well (except for my custom ouput problem above) until I tried to submit a form being a regular member instead of an Admin. I get a message that there is a Securuty Token problem and form cannot be sumbitted. I have checked all permissions and all looks ok. Not sure what that message means.

*** I figured some things outs...

I received the Security Token error if I have a member on both a primary and secondary usergroup AND have the displayed group anything other then default. If I change to Default it all appears to work ok
