Is there any way to prevent users from submitting a form more than once per X hours? I am using it to allow people to submit listings in a classifieds forum.

Previously the members just created regular threads in that forum, and I used this mod to prevent them from posting more than one listing per 8 hours. However, that mod seems to have no effect when the threads are auto created by submitting a form.

This is the code used by my current max posts mod:

if ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
$ugroupids = $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids'], "," . 

$vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids']);
	$fids = $forumid . iif($foruminfo['parentlist'], "," . $foruminfo['parentlist']);
	$result1 = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumpermission 
	WHERE ( forumid IN($fids) AND usergroupid IN ($ugroupids)) AND 
	(maxthread=0 AND perhour=0)");

	if (empty($result1))
	$result = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumpermission 
	WHERE forumid IN($fids) AND usergroupid IN ($ugroupids) 
	ORDER BY forumid DESC, maxthread DESC");

	if ($result)
 	 {	
	$maxtime = TIMENOW - ($result['perhour'] * 3600);
	$sql = $db->query_first("SELECT count(*) as totalthread FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE dateline >= 

$maxtime 
	AND forumid IN($fids) 
	AND postuserid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . " ");
	if ($sql['totalthread'] >= $result['maxthread'])
	eval(standard_error(fetch_error('no_new_thread_permission', $result[maxthread], $result[perhour])));
	}
	}

I want to limit all users to a max of 1 form submission per 8 hours in forum # 17. Is there a modified version of the above code I could put in the Form Hook: Form Start: field to have it work?

Installed.

Anyone have the help file cached? I've searched through the forum for it, and can't come up with an alternate location to download it (link is failed).

I know this is old, but I have questions.
I am running 3.8.4.
I have an extra unused vbulletin lic & am throwing up an ibproarcade site for my son/extended family & their friends without really using forums exept for automaticaly sending game reports to new thread, with no posting allowed. Its in the beginning stages with default games only, I have thousands of games still to load & a many site edits to make to have it the way I want.

Im trying to use the forms inside an iframe on page outside of the main forums, and this page already has its own separate header/footer,

Thanks!

Exactly what I needed, Thank you.
I have the report game form showing in a popup with your edits above, but I loose all site colors.
What would I need to do too get the site colors to show on form popup?

Note: Site colors are lost on all forms even normal forms not in a popup.

Any idea how to achieve this per form (some forms are specifically for a site outside of the forums and other are for the forums themselves)

PS: currently using a conditional in the header, footer and navbar templates to remove them globally for misc.php.

How does this work on a per form basis?

Thank you

[jorge_kai]

best mod ever!

[TheKdd]

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this sit on the "Thank you for filling out the form" page longer before redirect? It goes so fast that people can't read what I wrote. I could turn redirect off, but then it just has a button that takes them back to the form.

Or... could I change the address of the button so when they click it, it takes them elsewhere?

[brad heffernan]

If people are having problems installing this open the product-easyforms v3.6.xml

search for

PHP Code:

TYPE= MYISAM 


replace with

PHP Code:

ENGINE= MYISAM 


The keyword TYPE is removed since MySQL 5.1, use ENGINE

I did not read through all 109 pages as i dont have that amount of spare time on my hands so, Im sorry if this is already posted. Just like to help.

Hi,

I'm sure this is possible, but I'm having trouble with it. Can EasyForm be setup so that a user can see the results of their submissions, but not see anybody elses responses? I permissioned it as I thoght appropriate, and the use gets a 'view your results' link, but when clicked, they get a 'do not have permission' page. The other way I configured it allowed them to view *all* results. Is it possible to do this for just their results?

Many thanks, and good work on a great plugin.

[Hamma]

Does this allow attachments yet?

[Simon Lloyd]

Yet? it does already allow them
