I got the error as below and the form doesn't appear correctly

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/muoutlet/public_html/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code(830) : eval()'d code on line 1

It would be great if a help file or some sort of docs advise what each function/feature does and how to use it? I installed it and have no clue how to implement it on my board. It really looks great though! Please help with docs or something.

Thanks

I've found that using checkboxes or radiobuttons with the 'Options per row' set to 2, isn't actually putting the 2 options on a row. It's still displaying each option on it's own row. Just letting you know for the Beta.

Fixed in attached file

Do you have any other products installed on your site?

Have you got anything in the form hooks or any custom questions?

Hopefully it should be fairly self explainatory

• decide what you need a form for, e.g. applications, survey, etc.
• create the form
• add an action, ie post a new thread in forum 1
• add questions according to what you want to know about the user
• then tell people to submit form

Hi bananalive

I think this mod is fantastic and it just what I have been looking for in order to create a 'contact us' form.

However, like the poster above I am struggling on how to hide the creating, editing, etc of forms from all other people except Administrators.. any clues ?

Cheers

Go into your Options section for vBulletin in the AdminCP. There's a section there for easy forms where you can setup what usergroups you want to be able to access what.

Hi Trek

Thanks for your quick answer - I've tried that - with all sorts of combinations and nothing seems to lock out the edit/create options - I'll keep trying

Thanks

Not really. I must be slow...

The problem is there is so much to learn and read with 4.0 suite. It would really be helpful for a small doc file explaining each feature.
