i have vBulletin 4.2.3 & PHP 5.4.41-0+deb7u1, this can be a problem?
the minimun characters is OK in all fields BUT I get the error when compiling some fields using accented letters or symbols (?, $, etc)

vBulletin Message
Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:

Full is the subject field that the message field.
The message you entered is too short. Lengthen your message to at least 4 characters.

I filled in all fields, including the word (in Italian): perch?

writing perche' (instead of perch?) the post is published without problems

Quick question. What is the proper format for sending email to two email addresses, or is it possible? I've tried separating them with a comma and a space. With a comma it got sent to the second email address only. With a space neither worked.

Apologies in advance if the question has been asked before; I did a search but didn't find an answer or missed it. Thanks.

I also use this function, a comma is all that's needed between addresses

OK got this code and an error displays if less than 2 weeks date selected,
Question: How do I display text on the output instead of preventing the form from being submitted when less than 2 weeks?

PHP Code:

$nowDate=new DateTime();
$nowMDY=$nowDate->format('j F Y');

$twoWeekdOutDate=new DateTime($nowMDY);
$twoWeekdOutDate->add(new DateInterval('P14D'));
$twoWeekdOutDate->format('j F Y');

try{
$inputDate=new DateTime($qo[88]);
}catch(Exception $e){
standard_error("Invalid date: " . $qo[88]); //should never come here
}

if($inputDate>=$twoWeekdOutDate){
//good
}else{
standard_error("Please enter a date 2 weeks or more in advance - " . $qo[88]);
}

I have a question. I have used this mod for quite some time on a site and we've had a form intact and it works just fine, but recently I was asked to change the options where the user who submitted the form can change the information submitted in the form they submitted by using the edit button in the thread the form started. I found this option: "Users Can Manage their own Form Results - All registered users can view/edit/delete their own form results saved to database." and I have ticked it to "Yes", but for those who have already submitted the form they still cannot edit the thread/post it made. I've tried to "Rebuild Thread Information" from the update area in the AdminCP but that did not seem to make it where the old thread can be edited by the person who submitted them. Am I just doomed to have Admins be PM'ed for changes here lol?

Check the forum permissions of the forum the form is being submitted to make sure the usergroups can edit post.:up:

Uh yep they all can edit that forum area.

[blind-eddie]

Odd..

Yeah pretty weird. I have no idea. I'm guessing that I'll just have to tell them to have members send a PM when they need changes to the old threads.
