Is this possible? What would the template edits be?

Could this be implemented through vb Options in later releases of this fine hack?


Thanks.

It's really easy just using one plugin:

Title : can be what you want

Hook Location : newthread_form_complete

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3)))
{ 
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ; 
}

I installed the mod on my test board. It is great and when I work out the kinks, it'll be marvelous.

I run an RPG and need to use the forms to create a character's bio/profile so it's a rather long form with different sections. I'd like to divide the sections with the horizontal rule line (I have the custom BB Code installed)...

However, so far, I've been unable to make this work...It's possible it's setting on the actual forum I've missed although I've gone through them all twice....

Any hints, suggestions, ideas, letters, hate mail? *grins*

Thanks and Regards,

Alisa

Have you tried custom output?

Just noticed there's a grammatical error in there: Easy to fix in phrases, even I know how to do this, but you might want to change in next release.

In the phrase "Please Note: Questions proceeded by an asterisk (*) are compulsory" the word proceeded needs to be replaced by the word preceded.

As the stars are at the end don't they proceed the question not precede it?

When you press Edit the button leads us to the Form with predefined answers from the Editing answer. Like Editing threads. Thank you!

Added in v4.1.0

A couple of things, when using Yes/No answers, it records in the vote format the language...

i.e:

Yes: 25%
Ja: 25%
No: 25%
Neine: 25%

Would it be possible for it to not record the language variations? Or have an option to do?

Another nice feature would be having the number who agreed with a poll option when you hover over the poll bar... i.e. 25% translates to 15 who agreed with it...

Fixed language issue.

Number 'voted' should show, but there was line missing fixed in attached file for you.

Added option to allow bbcode for checkbox and radio buttons - so use [img] bbcode

Thank you! One more thing about edit is something like "Usergroups Allowed to Edit Form Results". For example I'd like to leave this option (Edit Result) only for person whos answered (starter) and admins/moderators. BTW the option to delete results is in need of permissions too, I haven't found them.
