Hi there.

Sorry if this has been asked before but would it be possible to have a feature to (optionally) post to Facebook at the time of the form submission?

Hi BananaLive,

Going back several months, There was/maybe still is, a subscription issue . The problem was that when the form submits to a new thread the user would not be subscribed to it even though the default setting for a new user was set to automatically subscribe the new-user to threads.

Since then I've found that it does subscribe them if they make a second reply to that thread, which would be most of the time, in my case anyway. So the problem is not such a big problem.

I am figuring that for some reason part of the system doesn't know that the user started the thread therefore doesn't know that it needs to subscribe them to it. ( wild guess ) .

Anyway, thanks for a great mod and great support of it.

Please consider giving us the option to edit dropdown box content in one large field instead of individual fields. As it stands every time I edit the dropdown box it means copying and pasting 70 some odd options in succession over and over again.

I'd simple delete and readd the question to use the large text box but that means editing a lot of code I have written which requires the use of the that specific dropdown's ID.

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Uhm. I updated and when I click on to edit a form result it takes me to smilies??</span>

Fixed, the edit url has changed for whatever reason from misc to forms

hi bananalive, can you update this plugin for vbulletin version 4.1.8?

[goonyer1]

Does this work with this version? It appears that i can only create forms by going directly to my browser (thus outside of vbulletin). I do not see anything inside of Vbulletin other than the permissions.

I have been able to add a plugin to call the forms up whenever someone starts a new thread, but it posts with the name of the form as opposed to the user.

I think this mod has tremendous potential, but the learning curve is steep. (... at least for me...) If you have documentation on how this works along with a few examples, I think it would go a long way in making this more user friendly. Thanks a bunch.

[Martyh]

Works with 4.1.8 for me so far.

Are you already doing this to get there ?

controlpanel > settings > options > easy forms options > right under "Usergroups Allowed to View Form Lists" click the "form list" link > create new form.

[goonyer1]

Thanks. Not sure how i missed that. But now it links.

[tamdlecomcast]

Thanks for the plugins, it works very very well, and I love it...

However, my question is:

I would like to create a form for the user to be able to send in their photo for competition. The photo can not be posted to the forum, rather they have 4 fields on the form to attach 4 different photo from their local disk. Once the form submitted, all the information including the 4 photos will be send to me via email.

I can create the form, however, I can not find any field that suitable to setup for the user to be able to attach their photos. Is there a way to do so?

Thanks in advance,
Tam Le
