I'm not sure what you mean

1) Do you want to look at it? OK, I set permissions so you can view: HERE Just playing with the mod right now, dummy content.

2) I mean just adding some text (not a question) in the form.

This mod should be part of vBulletin or at least be an option for the Admins

'vBulletin Options -> Easy Form Options' usergroup permissions have been made easier.

New option of only allowing users to edit/delete their own forms.

Collapsible Form Categories

New buttons at top of Form to easy editing/ result viewing

[bestword]

There would be better if the Categories could have (unlimited) sub Categories

1. The title looks fine to me?

2. Create Custom Question with the following PHP Code:

PHP Code:

$text = "some text here...";

$answer = $text. '<textarea id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" rows="1" style="visibility: hidden;">' . $text  . '</textarea>';

Hello, bananalive!

My base already has more then 400 entries, each entry has more then 10 columns, some cells could have a lot of chars, so excel export prepare file for 30 seconds now. Could you please give an option to turn off live export, but prepare export file by schedule?

Question 2. For example I had one of the option in drop-down menu named EG1, now i want to rename it to EG1-1 (EG1 -- is incorrect name), how to mass change it in base field which are already filled with wrong name?

Question 3. How to add "edit" link to thread post by easyform?

Question 4. If I delete one question for example "date", and there are a lot of answers on this question, will easyforms delete everything from base? Or it will affect only on new answers? And if so, how to delete all answers with question?

Thank you!

1. I'm not sure what you mean? (In v4.2.0 I'm adding option to export by last X results which would decrease time taken to export your results)

2. It would only affect new answers. You would have to manual edit each result and change it or use phpmyadmin and do a mysql replace() query

update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[string_to_find]','[string_to_replace]');

3. 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]"; 
    } 


4. No if you delete a field it will not affect results already submitted, but it will remove the column from the form results table

Thank you!

Im sorry for my english, I will try to paraphrase.

1. Cron job, that will generate file by schedule, users can download only that file. Just an idea. Your suggestion is greate!

2. Thank you, is it possible to code that into Easyforms? So if I change the name of option, it will change it in base?

3. No-no, I meant only hyperlink to edit form result in database. We have this hyperlink in Form Results, how to add it to posts?

4. Thank you! And from export, yes?

[sulasno]

I hope suggestion to add sections to the form would be considered;

eg

Personal

<questions>

Work details

<questions>

Hobbies

<questions>
