I want it so that the form is available to be viewed and completed by members, but those members not having permission to edit, add, update, install .xml etc, like admins can do. I've tried all different settings in options and I either get it that I can see all options as a member or none at all including not being able to see the form.

Can anyone please help if this is possible and if so what is the right settings?

Thank you..

Can View Form List: Everyone

Can Edit Forms: Administrators

Can View Forms: Everyone

When selecting usergroups, it is the highlighted ones which you will be enabling the feature for. use ctrl to select more than one usergroup.

My problem is that once I've gone through the process of creating a form I get an error message tat the top of the screen which says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/websites/sunnylab/www/community/misc.php(89) : eval()'d code(830) : eval()'d code on line 1

There are styling issues with my form but it actually does work. So ca anyone tell me what this message means and what I can do about it?

Many thanks for any help received.

This will be occuring due to either incorrect code in form hooks or a custom question

Do you have anthing in the form hook boxes? (They are mid way down the edit form page)

Second do you have any custom questions?

All of them should contain php code, invalid php code in any of the above would code error message you have listed.

thanks for your support bl.

Ok, thanks for the code to add secondry usergroup, it works well. However, how do you make ti that the submitter of the form is added, rather than a numbered user. For example, you wrote

PHP Code:

/*alter this userid*/
$a_userid = 2;
$userinfo = fetch_userinfo($a_userid);
if (empty($user['membergroupids']))
{ 


I tried adding {userid} but that didnt work. That was a bad guess, its not php :P

What would you put to fetch the id of the person who filled in the form?

Use this:

Form Hook: Before Submit

PHP Code:

if ($complete)  
{
$userinfo = $vbulletin->userinfo;
if (empty($userinfo['membergroupids']))
{
/*alter this number below*/
$user['membergroupids'] = '4';
} else {
/*alter this number below, but leave the comma*/
$user['membergroupids'] .=  ',4';
}
$userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
$userdata->set_existing($userinfo);
$userdata->set('membergroupids', $user['membergroupids']);
$vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids'] = $user['membergroupids'];
$userdata->save();
}

Add to bottom of form hook: before submit

PHP Code:

$ip = $vbulletin->input->clean($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], TYPE_STR);
$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "IP:" . $form[pstq];
$formoutput .= $form['prea'] . $ip . $form[psta];

No

But you can highlight the table and then paste it into excel.
