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.

It will probably be to do with Tabs VB Soporte

What settings do you set here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...4&d=1264001585

Try adding misc to the THIS_SCRIPT field of the tab you want to use instead of "FORUM"

Thanks

1. Edit Form
2. Add the following to both Form Hook: Form Start: and Form Hook: Before Submit:

   $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] = 0;
   $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] = 'Anonymous';

Using the quoted code:

I've added line which prevents form being submitted if there are no attachments.

    }
}
if ($attachcount == 0)
{
    $complete = false;
} 


Then use this in Custom Form Output:

[attach]1[/attach]

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?

No. The post gets created before the database entry.

Edit:

Although, if you uncheck 'Save to Database' in Edit Form

Then add the following code to Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:

    if ($complete && !$show['editing'])
    {
        $sdata = serialize($qo);
        $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults
        (fid, userid, username, time, title, output, sdata)
        VALUES ('".$form[fid]."', '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."', '".$db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username'])."', ".TIMENOW.", '".$db->escape_string($threadtitle)."', '".$db->escape_string($formoutput)."', '".$db->escape_string($sdata)."')
        ");
        if ($form[submitmessage])
        {
            $errormessage = $form[submitmessage];
        }
        else
        {
            $errormessage = "Form was submitted successfully.";
        }
        
        $formoutput .= "\r\n\r\n[url]http://testsite/forums/misc.php?do=editformresult&id=" . $db->insert_id() . "&fid=" . $fid . "[/url]";
    }

I did fix that, but it appears to have unfixed itself

Anyways, fixed in v4.1.6

many thanks,

Alex

In v4.1.6 they are sorted by Decreasing %
