1. Create 'Custom' question
2. Use following php Code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input class="textbox" type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[field8] . '" />'; 


Heya Bananalive,

I was wondering if there was a way to make this work if the profilefield was a Multiple-Selection Menu. I'm allowing the users to select up to 3 options in a particular field and I would like to have the selected ones displayed on the form I created.

Thanks in advance.

Everything was working fine with forms until I copied a form.

So now I have the original AND the copy, it's not what I wanted or needed.

Now I need to either be able to edit or delete the copy and I cannot.

I have checked and rechecked premissions, it's all set right.

Help?

You must update the q fields (if you are calling up q fields) after making a copy.

Thread/ PM/ Email Title:
{q_228}

Assuming I've inputted this correctly, is there any other reason why this might be stopped from working? i.e. setting conflict, vbseo..... etc. Many thanks.

You can use a conditional (FORUMDISPLAY) to direct members to a form from certain forums.


<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">

You can also use a conditional to redirect only certain member groups.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 25) AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(1,2,3,10,11))">

I don't have a problem with the q fields. I made a copy of one of the forms. On the COPY there is no edit or delete button to get rid of it. There is an edit/delete field on the original, NOT on the copy.

I'm just not a good searcher I guess and I'm too novice at this. Can somebody direct me how to make a form I've created mandatory for a reply to a post. For example, when they click "Reply to thread" the form comes up.

I got it - I didn't click the option to show forms in the quick links. From there I found the form URL and posted it to the link in the forum setup.

How can I put a button on the user's screen to export the data to excel? This would be awesome for me. Thanks!
