is there a way in Form Actions to email all users of a usergroup?
i don't even think my email to users is working under Form Actions
any previous convos on that? i looked but hadn't seen anything.

Maybe I missed this in one of the pages, my eyes are starting to strain. Thus, forgive me if this has been answered, but is there anyway to put a background box behind the forms? My current forum BG is rather chaotic, thus making my questions a tad hard to read.

You will have to edit the templates and change the css class.

You would have to use the Form Hook: Before Submit to achieve that.

Query all email addresses and then add them to $form['email'], seperating them with semi colons ';'.

Just checked on my forum, email action does work.

Are your email settings, set correctly in admincp?

write (url=http://domain.com/member.php/userid)username(/url)

You can use vbulletin conditionals in the custom output, e.g.

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']">
 [url="{vb:raw vbulletin->options.bburl}/{vb:link member, {vb:raw vbulletin->userinfo}}"]
  {vb:raw vbulletin->userinfo.username}
 [/url]
</vb:if>

Do you have javascript enabled in your browser?

Have you uploaded easyforms.js to /clientscript/ folder in forum directory?

Next version (v4.1.9) includes support for those without JavaScript Enabled browsers.

In Version 3.7 i used a Mod called ADVPolls, but there is no Version for vb4.

It was possible that a User can weight the answers in a Poll.
I have a sports Forum and it should be possible for Users to type the table how it would be after the season.

Club A 5
Club B 4
Club C 3
Club D 1
Club E 6
Club F 2

The result after the answers from many users should be shown like that
Club D 1,3 (average of answers)
Club F 1,75 (average of answers)
Club C 3,3 (average of answers)
Club B 4,7 (average of answers)
Club A 5,2 (average of answers)
Club E 5,6 (average of answers)

Is something like that possible with this mod? If yes what have i to chosse to get this work?

Thanks for every answer!
greetings Kai

They are currently sorted in the opposite direction. To change the sort direction,

Find in Easy Forms Part 3

PHP Code:

Derr, javascript was disabled on my work PC.

Another question... is there a way to allow users to only create their own forms? The current option allows users to delete or edit other users' forms.

Thanks, appreciated .

Change 1,2,3 for appropriate threadids.

Thanks for this one!!! I was looking for it.. and now.. found it!! :-)
Tested and works like a charm!
New thread is linking to forms, and you can make multiple ones, different forums to different forms...:up:
