Can a form created with this mod be placed in a sidebar in the forums and/or CMS? I tried searching for my answer but couldn't find anything related.

It appears, from screenshots, that users would have to visit a specific URL to submit the form, but I'd like a small one available on most or all pages for users to submit.

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Easy Forms Options -> Set up permissions for every action/group. Default is "Noone can do anything", so you need to set it how it should work :]

Options were already checked-off for me, with Administrator being allowed access to everything.

See attachment for my Options screen.

Scratch the reply, above. I had to give Registered Users access to view the Form List. Now my Administrator has access.

Yes indeedy, I am also in needy of this function. Hope to hear if there is a sidebar option or a direct URL reference for an easy form.

Just to be clear it works fine for the forum it gets moved to, but the forum it was posted in in the first place still shows the header detail for the post that is no longer there...

Thanks

The move itself to the correct forum is fine but not the forum details update - keen to have this working again. (think it is at the bottom of the code below)

We added a plugin that moved the thread to the correct forum (newthread_post_complete) and it has the following:

if ($fid == 1)
{
$forumid = $q['forumid'];
$dataman =& datamanager_init('Thread', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
$dataman->set_existing($threadinfo);
$dataman->setr('forumid', $forumid);
$dataman->pre_save();
if (count($dataman->errors) > 0)
{
foreach ($errors as $error)
{
$errorss .= $error. "<br />";
}
$errormessage = "Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured: <br /> ".$errorss;
eval(standard_error($errormessage));
}
else
{
$dataman->save();
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($newpost['threadid']);
mark_thread_read($threadinfo, $foruminfo, $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], TIMENOW);
build_thread_counters($newpost['threadid']);
build_forum_counters($forumid);
}
}


I have pasted below the code for the custom question from the form that I think is related:

$newarray = array(
158 => $vbulletin->forumcache['158'],
160 => $vbulletin->forumcache['160'],
161 => $vbulletin->forumcache['161'],
162 => $vbulletin->forumcache['162'],
163 => $vbulletin->forumcache['163'],
165 => $vbulletin->forumcache['165'],
167 => $vbulletin->forumcache['167'],
168 => $vbulletin->forumcache['168'],
169 => $vbulletin->forumcache['169'],
170 => $vbulletin->forumcache['170'],
172 => $vbulletin->forumcache['172'],
174 => $vbulletin->forumcache['174'],
175 => $vbulletin->forumcache['175'],
177 => $vbulletin->forumcache['177'],
179 => $vbulletin->forumcache['179'],
181 => $vbulletin->forumcache['181'],
61 => $vbulletin->forumcache['61'],
182 => $vbulletin->forumcache['182'],
183 => $vbulletin->forumcache['183'],
184 => $vbulletin->forumcache['184'],
186 => $vbulletin->forumcache['186'],
188 => $vbulletin->forumcache['188'],
190 => $vbulletin->forumcache['190'],
191 => $vbulletin->forumcache['191'],
193 => $vbulletin->forumcache['193'],
56 => $vbulletin->forumcache['56'],
194 => $vbulletin->forumcache['194'],
195 => $vbulletin->forumcache['195'],
197 => $vbulletin->forumcache['197'],
);
$answer = "<select name=\"$formbit[id]\" id=\"q_" . $formbit[id] . "\">";
foreach ($newarray AS $forumid => $forum)
{
if ($qo['forumid']==$forumid)
{
$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>";


I have also pasted the code for the newthread_form_start -

if (in_array($forumid, array(158,160,161,162,163,165,167,168,169,170,172, 174,175,177,179,181,61,182,183,184,186,188,190,191 ,193,56,194,195,197)))
{
header('Location: /listings/misc.php?do=form&fid=1');
}

Can you advise please?

Thank you

Mark

Upgraded to 4.14 and some parts of this use the forum editor and have no way to enter text if you select those, such as a description.

I have disabled until a solution is reached .

[autostick]

Is there any way to establish a link to a form from the CMS home page? Or maybe a dropdown list?

[rootsxrocks]

you could do that with a widget

each form you create has a unique url path, so you should be able to link them anywhere, or create navbits with any of the navbar mods out there
