It isn't working. We're on 4.0.3.

Also, is there a way to set the prefix based on a selection from a drop down?

Use this...

if ($q['38'] == 1)
{
$form['forumid'] = 112;
}
elseif ($q['38'] == 2)
{
$form['forumid'] = 113;
}
elseif ($q['38'] == 3)
{
$form['forumid'] = 114;
}

First of all well done on an excellent mod!

I was wondering if there was a way to sort the poll results as they appear in the graphs, either keep the options in the same order they appear in the form or sort them by %. At the moment the order they appear in the graphs seems random?

many thanks,

Alex

I want to add a date field for just Month/Year, but the builtin date field doesn't allow this. So I created a custom field to display 2 drop downs (side by side) for Month and Year, but only one gets saved to the database. Is there some caveat to having numerous fields within a single custom field?

Additionally, as a workaround, I was thinking of just creating 2 drop down fields and using styling to place them on the same horizontal line, but because of the segmented nature of the questions, I'm not sure this is possible with pure css.

Any suggestions?

Also.. is there any easy way to obtain the results of the form programmatically? I can query the database and parse the string in the 'sdata' field, but it seems there is likely a better way to accomplish this.

This is something I had asked for as well. I would like a way to change how the form is displayed. Similar to how we can customize the display of the results.

4.1.1 (16 May 2010)
- Fixed editing form result issue when 'Form Submit Limit' is reached

I may be missing something here, but I have my submit limit set to 1 (I only want them to be able to answer a survey once), however as administrator I can't edit any submissions, including my own, without this error: "Error, you have exceeded limit for number of times this form can be submitted."

Is there any way I can stop the form title appearing in the output (post)?

Thanks

Bananalive, thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into creating this really handy mod.
I have been keeping an eye on it since it was released, and it now looks like it has all the features that I need.

I have just started playing with setting up some forms on my test system and have a question.
My scenario is that I have a form that submits its output to a forum and into the database.
I want to have a link in the forum post that is submitted that links right back to the edit function for this forms result so that users can easily edit their own form results if needed.

For example the link would be something like - http://testsite/forums/misc.php?do=e...ult&id=3&fid=1
I know I could just link to the list of forms with http://testsite/forums/misc.php?do=formresults&fid=1, but I would prefer to link to the exact form.

How would I get the id= variable to include in the url when submitting?

Hello bananalive!

When are you going to release new version? And which futures will be integrated in it?

I have tried everything and cannot get the email or PM notification to work

[pltillman]

Is there a way that I can hook into the action of deleting a form entry result?
