But it's not working. Any suggestions?

Ok, I got it

<a href="misc.php?do=form&fid=1&val1=test-123">Link</a>

Hook: Form Start:

$q[50] = $_GET['val1'];

Hello,
i use php 5.4.18 and vB 4.2.1pl1

When i try to edit a question, the fields are empty!
Sending a form doesn't work, because "the title and the textfile is empty".

How can i fix this???

Weird issue..

I have used this for years, & the form that i have using still works fine, but i added a new one & it has issues.?
Since it was having issues i updated this mod, but nothing changed, the new form still doesn't work & the old one still works fine.

The issue of the new form is that it will post in the correct thread, but only the title.. the post is basically blank (except for username & title) none of the questions or answers.

Here is what i have in the Form Output Styling.. (custom form output)

{username} - {formtitle}

{qn_1}
{qo_1}

{qn_2}
{qo_2}

{qn_3}
{qo_3}

{qn_4}
{qo_4}

{qn_5}
{qo_5}

{qn_6}
{qo_6}

{qn_7}
{qo_7}

**edit**

Ok i got that issue fixed, it was the question numbers, they weren't 1-7 they were like 72-80 or something.

But my next question/issue is the bbcode doesn't seem to be working. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to have it look nice.
bbcode is not affecting the post whatsoever.

Here is what i have in the Form Output Styling

Form Output Top BB code: [CENTER][B][SIZE=5][COLOR=Black]{formtitle}[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/CENTER]

Question BB code: Bold BBCode (not working in this post for somereason)

Answer BB code: [I][INDENT]  [/INDENT][/I][INDENT][/INDENT]   
Section BB code: [SIZE][U]  [/SIZE][/U]
   
Form BB code: Blank (what does this mean.?)

I'm having this same problem. Board-wide, my maximum post limit is 15000 characters, but the form is still being capped at 5K. Is this a hard limit or can I edit it somewhere?

Thanks!

Had this mod for years, but on 4.3.0 on a 4.2.2 board, the dropdowns of "Questions" and "answers" are totaly empty. "Other variables" work, however. Any ideas, help needed.

For anybody else who's butting up against a 5000 character form length, the answer for me was that I was sending a copy of the form via Private Message, and that's where the character limit was.

Hey folks,

trying realy hard to get this to work, but it just won?t. Running EF 4.3.0 on vb 4.2.2.

I do it exactly as here, but all i get is the ordinary newthread. I used it also in vb3.8, but there i used two plugs if im not mistaken.

New php plugin

Title: Easy Forms New Thread Button

Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP code

PHP Code:

if (in_array($forumid, array(221)))
{  
header('Location: http://mywebsite.com/misc.php?do=form&fid=1') ;  
}
if (in_array($forumid, array(222)))

For each forum and form, just keep adding code where the array(xxx) is the forum id and fid=xx is the form id.

Anyway to limit a form to a certain number of submissions? Say I need 10 members to registered. After 10 no one else can submit the form.

[audzilla]

I'm getting this error on submitted forms:

Warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in ..../forms.php on line 771

My site's recently gotten a lot more traffic, and I've parked a second domain pointing to it. Otherwise everything is the same. Anybody run into this?
