Although this will affect all your forms

Thanks . I have added checkboxes so that they're hidden in Form Results Tables.

I wondered if it was possible to have checkbox answers converted to unique numbers and then have all of those unique numbers totaled?

Example:
Question: What colours.....?
Checkbox Answers: 1.Blue 2.Green 4.Yellow 8.White 16.Pink 32.Red 64.Black 128.Purple 256.etc etc etc (the numbers would need to be invisible)

Somebody selecting Yellow, Black and Blue would cause the answer in the Form Results Table to be 69
That would make it easy to know which checkboxes were selected because only 4 + 1 + 64 = 69

Anyone?

awesome!

Is there a way to tweak this code to make multi-select list?

$answer .= '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$answer .= '<option></option>';
$thisanswer = $q_{$formbit[id]};
$members = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE membergroupids LIKE \"%17%\"
ORDER BY username ASC");
    while($row = $db->fetch_array($members)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[username].'"';
if ($row[username] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>';

How about a way to have a specific form open from the nav button directly?

Not the list per say.

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply bananalive!

Yes, select the Form Action as 'Create a New Thread', and then there will be an option to allow attachments

For us it is very important that the data are not visible for other users.
Is there any other way to upload the pics whereby no new threat will be be opend and so the date are not visible vor any other persons?

Hi,

I'm having some problems with prefix.

I am using the following code in my custom question "choose prefix"

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php'); 
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]]; 
if (!$form['forumid'])
{
$form['forumid'] = xx;
}
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true); 
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">'; 
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>'; 
$answer .= $prefix_options; 
$answer .= '</select>'; 


Where XX is the destination forum of the form.

under form actions i have selected "no prefix", when i go to my form, i can see the dropdown with all the prefix for the destination forum, but when i submit - no prefix is attached the the thread.

There are no custom hooks etc for this form.

Please advise.

I've also tried using the following code, to no avail.

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php');  
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]];  
$forumid = $form['forumid'] = XX; 
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true);  
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">'; 
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>';  
$answer .= $prefix_options;  
$answer .= '</select>'; 


However,

using the above code, and the no attachments code you kindly provided me before - I find that when i click on attachments i do not have permissions to access to FUM..

PHP Code:

$currentattaches = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS countrows FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment WHERE posthash = '" . $db->escape_string($posthash) . "' AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] );
$attachcount = $currentattaches['countrows'];
if (!$attachcount)
{
$complete = false;
$customerror .= '<div class="blockrow"><div>Error, No attachments!</div></div>';
} 


Removing either the no attachment code or the prefix select code allows me to once again open FUM.

When I submit the form it says thanks for submitting and looks like it's worked. However the results show no one has submitted a form.

What could be the problem?
