Am I the only one who experiences the problem of logging out (it appears to be logged out of the user account) upon submitting the form? Is there a fix to this?

[Keith.Almli]

Is there anyway to stop this form from posting Stickys?

Bananalive, I really love this mod. You have done a great job.

I have two observations for your consideration, but both are minor.

1. It would be cool if the variable syntax in the Thread/ PM/ Email Title: was the same as the custom output section. Specifically, qo_x recognized as valid input like q_x to output the answer to question x.

2. When using the tab key to move between fields in a form it advances the form as expected until it comes to a vBulletin editor question. The focus is placed in the field but the screen does not advance to make the question visible until additional characters are entered. A minor issue though.

Thank you for all the work you have put into this mod. Using tips you have sprinkled throughout this thread has enabled me to use the mod in ways I never thought possible when I first installed the mod.

I am using this mod with the VS-HideHack mod to allow me to control what user groups can view certain fields. The bbcode [HIDE] tag works great in the final thread post, but apparently are not interpreted in the preview. I haven't tried other custom bbcode tags, but I am somewhat interested in the [TB] (table) tag that I have seen posted to provide additional format control over the posted results.

This mod is awesome ! Thank you for your really good job
Just a quick question : is there a way to give the results access for a specific form ? I'd like my members can view the results for 1 form only but I didn't find the option.

Thank you again for your work and sharing!

Amazing mod!

1 question about a desired feature before I break it trying!

I am using this to submit vacation requests for employees, is there anyway to make it so after the request is submitted I can check approved or denied possibly with a comment box also, I am guessing this would have to be done on the Form results table somehow?

Thank you in advance

How would I go about sending an attachment when I am only using the Form Action, 'Email Form'?

Any ideas? Thanks!

[bposner]

I can't seem to get attachments to work. Probably me, but it allows me to add the attachment in the form, but does not attach to email with form is sent. It does not show up in the database listing. But it does show up if I point to forum.

thanks!

Yep, it's not you... I think the default vbmail() function wasn't set up to include attachments. Perhaps Bananalive will chime in here. I suspect he, or someone, would need to extend this out so that attachments could be included for mail.

Attachment support would be huge for me since I use the forms for managing data from a custom database, and the emails feed one of my backend help desk systems. Delivering data through attachments would make for a streamlined process.
