I have everything installed and I can create and edit forms; however, when I go to take a form, I get the following error in FireFox on both my Windows and my Mac.

Any ideas or suggestions?

forums > error << in the breadcrumb .... but creates the topic correctily

Couple of suggestions if u want for next version:

For descriptions... have increase size of box function aswell as ability to use bbcode or html for the text.

Thanks ..marked as installed

Ok after goin more into it...Errors:

When deleting a question it says form doesnt exist.... when refresh the question actually has gone.
Same with when editing a question..
Still works just gives u the error message...as i say when refreh the edit or deletion does work

I've changed the 'Error' display in the navbar on form submit and fixed the redirect of deleting a question

What have you got in the form?

This mod does something weird in the misc.php file, causing it to not work. Going to misc.php?do=forms just loads the list of smilies, and shows something at the top about some syntax errors. Note that this is just merely having the product installed. I've not created any forms, and can't see the list.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/martinpa/public_html/zb/misc.php(97) : eval()'d code on line 57

Uninstalling for now. I'll keep an eye on the progress of this mod and try again when more bugs have been squashed. Good work though - and a very useful mod.

A great feature for this would be to add a function that allows to specify a thread prefix when created a new thread in a forum.
Another great feature for this would be to clone existing forms.

This product looks good, but i havent installed it yet.

When someone submits a form, what happens to the data? Does it get pm'd to some one or does a thread get created from it or something?

Just wondering if we could use this for our clan applications or something like that?

Thanks for your work banana - we are having fun with your Tournaments mod

Form can Submit to:

* new thread in forum
* new post in thread
* new pm to user.

When a form has a boolean question that is compulsory, it doesn't allow you to select "No" as an option. If you select "No" it returns: This question is compulsory.
