Yes, you would just need to edit your USERCP_SHELL template to suit your needs.

First off this is a great mod. I will nominate this.

I edited the application to fit my forums needs. I managed to edit the fields on the application itself but when an application is submitted I still get the old fields on the application.

e.g. Original field: What skills can you bring to this forum?
Edited field: What skills do have using vBulletin forums?

On the submitted application it still shows up as "What skills can you bring to this forum?

How can I change it so the submitted application shows "What skills do have using vBulletin forums?" instead of the original field?

Did you edit the part where they send out the email or create a thread? That's probably why.

I just edited the template. Or is everything located on that one template?

There's a spelling mistake in here!

You have to replace several areas inside the php file as well. Not everything is in the template itself

Thank you for noticing that. You would have to edit the phrase in order to fix that.

This May have been asked already, But Can you let us choose Custom Positions, not just admin, mod, super mod. That would really help me out . I dont want to spend hours modding yout script , just to have the fields I Would Like

hello,

I am having a problem. When a users submits and application and I get the email it has their real name twice instead of their forum username, so I can't see which member is sending the app.
