Good idea, but not only as user choice, and also administrators could set anonymously enter.

One more thing, that I think will be very demanded and interesting.

For example I have single line enter field for names of companies (banks etc.). I can't use dropdown menu, because there are a lot of names, hundrets... I begin enter name: "cit" and field suggests me "city bank, city, etc." -- names from database already previously entered. Like Google does, This will be fantastic help!

I agree with riskofficer. A autocomplete field would be awesome. Similar to what happens when searching for a member in vbulletin.

when you view the forms, there is an Export Form Results to Excel option listed underneath. but it only exports the Data, you cannot currently export the Form to Excel, only to xml.

I see the function to be able to give a thread the specific Prefix, but I'm looking for the opposite.

Can I make the form visible ONLY when a certain prefix is selected?

For example if my user wants to input some hiking trail info - location, miles, difficulty.... Can I have this form appear in the thread only when they select the correct prefix? Otherwise, I'd like the form to be absent while making normal conversation threads.

Thanks.

No, this mod does not work that way. The forms do not appear in threads, only the form output can, meaning the form an create a new thread.

I seem to have picked up an extra verification image and text box at the bottom of my form when not logged in as a member (i.e. unregistered), also the image verification that I have added to the form does not show the image until you hit refresh - It can be seen here:

Any ideas.

By the way this is a superb addition to vb4.0

Thanks

Sssooo usefull mod. Thanks! I have a problem, my "Forum" tab is hiden by "Tabs VbSoporte" mod. After I installed this (Easy Forms) mod, I enabled it as a new tab, and then disabled it in VB Options. After that, my "Forum" tab apears ocasionaly, actualy only when I'm using "misc.php" script, like when I'm editing a form, or when I'm answering to it, etc.

This might not be related to this mod, I can't say becouse I never used misc.php script before, but now this does not looks nice. What can I do exept enabling again a "Forms" tab? Becouse when I enable this tab, "Forum" does not apear, I can enable and disable "Forum" tab by previously mentioned mod.

Is there some trick like I have to uninstall and install back this mod, or manualy edit some template? Disabling and enabling Tabs VB Soporte does not help.
