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"

Well, I might go OT now, but I think this is still a bit related to this mod.

So, I disabled Tabs VB Soporte mod, and I had to learn how to manualy remove and add new tabs. That went good, I removed all tabs exept CMS Homepage. Now, when I enable tab "Forms", I have only this two, "Homepage" and "Forms". When I click to "Forms", a miracle happens, this tab dissapears and I have again my "Forum" tab.

Then I suspected that "Forms" tab had some If-Then-Else clause that pops up this "Forum"tab, since I might be the only one who don't use forum at all. I disabled your tab, and manualy add new tab that links to my 1st form. Again, when clicked this tab dissapears and on it's place I get "Forum" tab.

Then I suspected that this has nothing to do with this mod, but with misc.php script. To test it, I disabled your mod and also deleted my tab. Now I have only Homepage. I enter url .../misc.php, and again, my "Forum" tab is back, it is active and below I have some list of smilies. So, as I suspected, I have a problem even without your mod, only I would never discover it becouse I have no reason to link to this misc.php.

Now, since your mod uses this script, you might be the right person to ask, is it normal that this script activates Forum? Is Forum mandatory for misc.php and for my future forms? Can this be somehow cracked, I browsed misc.php script and also Navbar template, but I see no instruction that would make Forum tab active.

Actualy, I suspect that I did't disable my Forum tab properly, I can't find instructions to do that. I just removed this line from my Navbar template:

		<vb:else />
			<li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a></li>
		</vb:if>

Is there some other lines that needs to be deleted from Navbar to permanently remove Forum? I would't need it for some time and I just dont want to see this tab untill my forum is ready for use.

Sorry for OT, but it started with this mod and it still might be related, somehow

Can you please make

Usergroups Allowed to Edit Forms
Usergroups allowed to add/edit/delete forms (Permission to view Form List is recommended for these usergroups)

each on their own line? I want usergroups to be able to CREATE forms but not delete everyone's in the event someone get's angry. They can request deletion by a moderator.

Thank you!

Thanks

But if i was to create a custom answer in lets say the type of a checkbox what what be the PHP code for the checkbox for anonymous as i want users to choose between been anonymous or not.

Thanks,

Thanks for pointing me in right direction!

Could someone walk me through this? I'd like to change the navbar name as well and I'm not following. I don't see "downloads2".

Is it possible to have "answers" on the form output to the "TAG" in a message ...?

Thanks!!!

In order for a Tab to work for the Forms properly, you have to use the THIS_SCRIPT tag. Since Forms uses misc.php the THIS_SCRIPT = misc. If you are not using THIS_SCRIPT properly, the tab will disappear when clicked on.
The problem here, is any page which uses the misc.php will cause this tab to highlight.

As for removing the Forum tab, you only removed the Highlighted version of the tab. So when you view a page which does not highlight Forums the Tab will reappear. Look in your NAVBAR Template you should be able to find 2 or 3 Forum Tabs in there.

downloads2 is a different product. You need to look in the Phrases section for Easy Forms.

Hello, Many thanks for this great addon. I however have one question; I want the form to submit to 2 different forums, one is hidden from most and is intended for internal discussion, and the other is for public view. Is there anyway you could assist me with accomplishing this? Even pointing at the right area in the code would be of immense help!
