Hi,
I was wondering, how can I pull the results from the Form Data base? I created a new form which has the option of Saving the form to a database. I can view the database by clicking Form Results Table but I now want to write some sort of script to automatically pull this info to another html or php page (not the forum). Thanks!

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
} 


Hi banalive, thank you but I now get this error when trying to view the form -

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/midwife/public_html/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code(1109) : eval()'d code on line 1

Any ideas?

eval(standard_error($errormessage));
}

stored in ". TABLE_PREFIX ."formresults e.g. vb_formresults

query database to $result then

$data = unserialize($result['sdata']);

contain question answers

Maybe it's on the late side, but could you tell me what has changed? I don't see it where you tell what has changed... (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....62&postcount=2)

Thanks, Bananalive that worked

Great Mod, it's saved me a lot of work!

Got a small problem though; when sending the email or displaying the form I'm getting the raw BB code. Anyone any ideas?

Hey Folks,

i'd like to use Easy Forms to add clubs to the Forum database.
It would be great if it is possible to add a question where the users can mark a special position (the meeting place of the club) on a google map.

Does anyone know whether i could do this with the "Custom Question" feature?
If it isn't possible yet i wish it for the next release. i could make a donation too

Bananalive,

Is there any possibility of multiple vB editor questions in a single form at some point in the future? Maybe using an alternate editor, or if vB can make the ckeditor re-entrant? If you can tell me/us what is broken then I/we can add pressure to vB to make an adjustment to support the feature.

My current workaround is to only have one vB editor field, but our old form provided a richer environment to submit attractive, formatted comments to the forums.
