Hello

Just installed this on 4.0.3. Seems to work but I've only just started playing around. I had a quick search on this thread for the answer to this question, couldn't see it so apologies if I missed it.

How do you change the title of the tab from "forms" to something else?

[Does anyone know how I could set the value of the redirect URL from the before submit plugin location?

I build redirect URLs on the fly based in part on form field selections as well as a db query. So for example, I will need to redirect a user to

http://site.com/file.php?example=(question1result)&example2=(queryresult)

Nevermind... figured this one out.

Looks like the variable $form[redirecturl] is used for the redirect. I can simply set this in the plugin like below, where $qo_1 is the answer to question 1 on the form... Hope someone finds it useful.

$form[redirecturl = "http://site.com/file.php?example=".$qo_1."&example2=".$queryresult;

Any way to chance the TAB name from forums to something else?

Sure. Go into the Admin CP and search through your global phrases (mine was on page 17) for the phrase called Forms. Enter any custom name you want there.

Hello! Greate job, thank you! Can you answer one question is there any way to export form results to excel or in xml format. Not form, but results, table. Thank you ones more.

P.S. And one more question, not so important, but, do you plan to do "depended quetion". I mean, for example, we have drop down menu, we choose option, then we got another question and options are depended on what you choose before. Sorry my english!

Good Question I would like both features as well.

Exporting results would be beneficial for business proposal purposes.

And the other would help eliminate larger forms with multiple questions that sometimes may not pertain if another question is a no answer or having multiple forms solely for small variables.

Exactly! May be, for sure, I'd like to point attention, that when I have wrote about export I ment export feature for allowed usergroups, not just for administrators (because we can export directly from mysql).

Was unaware of the ability to export from mysql. I must of missed that but then again I am still learning php and mysql. A bit hard to find local help for questions pertaining to them.

I'm sorry, I don't want to be annoying, but I've got one more question: is there any way to edit submitted form result? For example, I've submitted answers, but got new information and decided to change something in my answers, how can I do this. Or, for example, moderator needs to change something in submitted answers?

Summarizing:

* Please, let us export results to excel/xml
* Editing of submitted results
* Depended options
