$text = "some text here...";

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


1) Except it should be bold, centered and size 5. And the "description" text right under should not be bold.

2) Thank, I'll try it! I sure appreciate it.

I've installed thanks bananalive.

Just one thing. The viewing permissions is currently dependant on "View Forum" permission for the usergroup. Is there a way to make the mod independent of it?

ct2k7: The possible permissions are set in AdminCP > options > easy forms options and the form permissions are set in the easy forms editor.

I understand that, but, setting view forum to no in usergroup permissions has wider implications. Is there anyway to bypass this?

[nakedanvil]

Sorry, misunderstood. I take it you want a guest to view the form but not your forums. Interesting problem.

Yep. I can't think of anything at the moment which could remedy it :/

Now I see. Wasn't understanding "output". I was thinking form display.

Try my form again please, you'll see now what I'm trying to do.

I want users to be able to create their own form, or simply copy a standard premade form. Right now, there is no way to allow my users to copy a from a standard form without also giving them the permission to delete other forms.

So I figured I would provide users with the xml of a premade form, and they could upload from there. But I'm getting the common permissions error:

Sterling, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Not sure what is causing this. Can anyone use the import feature?

Edit: Fixed by setting "Users are only allowed to edit forms they created" to no.

Edit 2: I would suggest further expanding the permissions area to something like this:

Usergroups allowed to view own forms.
Usergroups allowed to view all forms.

Usergroups allowed to copy own forms.
Usergroups allowed to copy all forms.

Usergroups allowed to delete own forms.
Usergroups allowed to delete all forms.

And so forth.

I created a form; exported it; make amendments to the file and imported it; and the id is increased

how do I delete the old forms (which are not displaying)
