Thanks,

For forms imported from your test database, the userid will probably be different (on test site than live site), so if the following option is enabled then you wont have access to it.

AdminCP -> Settings -> vBulletin Options -> Easy Form Options -> Users can only edit their own forms: No
(This option is based on userid.)

The database error, is similar problem, but is fixed in attached product.

BANANALIVE, I'm trying to get the form to auto create a thread with the form questions and results (the person's answer) when the form is submitted, I see I can put {qo_*} where * is the question Id but is there a function that I can just include all questons. Is that possible??

If you leave the custom output blank, then Easy Form will automatically compile the questions and answers for you.

How can I make a Question with a url that will open in a new window. I wanna make a TOS agreement that the user will have a yes and no option and the url under the question that when clicked will open a popup window.

[deverill2010]

I have just created a form and added a question.. When I try to view the form i get this at the top of my site -

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/midwife/public_html/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code(1108) : eval()'d code on line 1

In the description field just use the [URL] bbcode.

For example [URL ]http://www.yoursite.com/tos.html[/ URL]

Or

[URL=http://www.yoursite.com/tos.html ]Click here for TOS[/URL ]

Just remove the spaces

However as a suggestion to be added to the mod, it would be great if there was some sort of question that could be added that has to be answered before the form is filled out, or even after.

For example, the question could have all the tos in it, and at the bottom an "Agree" or "Disagree" button could be there, where if you press agree, it takes you to the form, and if disagree is selected, it takes you back to the previous page or warns you that you must agree to proceed. Also with an option in the settings to note on the answers (on the thread or pm that is created) that the user agreed.

Just a thought...

I managed to get rid of that error by unistalling and then reinstalling the plugin.

I have enabled the tab in the navbar and I only want it to be viewable by two groups I set, these are the same groups that I have set as being able to see the form.

The thing is only the admin can see the tab at the moment? How do I make the tab viewable to the other group?
