Thanks for this plug in.

Can I block a certain portion of the form from non premium members? My self or a registered member can write review of a product. That form would be inserted as a post (new review).Now what I want to do is allow everyone to read the basic information, but have a text box with the details hidden from non premium members, or other member groups that I choose.

Any help on this?

Yes I am completely new at this.

So you want to hide some of the Post, created by your form, and have the rest of it unhidden?

Is it possible to use that so when my members buy a certain subscription they have to fill out there address for a membership pack to be sent to, then admins can view asters or get PM and Mark address as sent?

Yes that is correct. Just one box that gives the detailed review/explanation. Anyone can fill out the form..but to read the details one would have to belong to a certain group.

What you are talking about sounds like a forum control. The only way I see you accomplishing that with Easyforms is by posting the entire form to one post in one forum, and part of the form to a post in another forum. A few people have asked that question though, so you'll have to get creative in that respect.

This is a neat mod - I have the following challenges in how to use it within my site - sorry if these have been asked before.......

1. Can the same form be used in more than one forum or do I need to copy the form for each? (I would like really to attach at the parent forum level - but not let it be used at that level.)

2. Do I use the hook feature to force the use of a particular form for the forum rather than say the standard thread post or reply ( I have a form for each)

3. This is probably ambitous but I would like to do more with emailing the form as well as posting to the thread. I would like to have it as a pdf with its own format - the idea here is listing a property for sale in the forum, and generating certain info in to a flyer that could be put in the window of the property but the format of the flyer wouldn't be the same as how it showuld be viewed in the thread.

Hi this is a really cool mod.
I would like to ask a couple of questions please.
1 can the form be used to select a member from a group ****Edit found the answer to question 1 ****
2 can a form post to another form?
3 can there be a limit to how many posts can be made to a thread.

Reason why I'm asking these questions is that I wonder if it is possible to use Easy Forms to create a scoring system for games and quizzes. But for it to work you would have to be able to do the above.
Members chooses the winner of a game or quiz and the awards points. The form then posts the winners name and points to the next for that is the main score board.

I have installed this mod on my test site and have to say WOW!!

Hello,

A week ago, all entries in the form I created disappeared, without any reason. I had to ask my members to fill the form again. And now, some results again disappeared. It seems entries are deleted after a given period. Is there any stting about this ?

What permission settings are you using?

You should only give the following permissions to administrative/ trusted users:

• Usergroups Allowed to Edit Form Results
• Usergroups Allowed to Delete Form Results

You would need to use the Form Hooks to achieve these.
