I'm sure you could make it hidden without editing form_view

Here's how to do it without making it hidden.

Form Hook: Form Start

PHP Code:

$refurl = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'refurl', TYPE_NOHTML); 


Custom Question with following php code:

PHP Code:

if (!$q[$formbit[id]]) $q[$formbit[id]] = $refurl;
$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $q[$formbit[id]] . '" />';

Odd, what version of Easy Forms are you using?

What vb version?

Are you logged in when you get the error?

Found something interesting. If you are having the form contents sent to a private forum, if the user submits their form twice, they get a "duplicate warning" and then they are attempted to be redirected to this hidden forum. This gives them the hidden forum ID and can cause confusion. Anyway of skipping the duplicate check or perhaps skipping the redirect?

Easyforms 3.0 beta6

I am logged in but i also had the same error with beta5, thought i was missing something but cant find an option to add a user for the post.

I have a quick question before I begin testing this mod.

I have a forum which is devoted to selling/buying on my site and we currently use formhack. What we need is to require a user to input name/price/location, ect. The problem that we currently have is that the hack we use lets anyone submit a thread.

I want to require users to have 25 posts to post or reply to a thread, but 0 posts to view. Is this currently possible with this mod?

Thanks!

Again I still have the problem of although I have it marked not to subscribe to a new thread in my UserCP this hack is only subscribing to the things that I have submitted thorugh it as a thread. Is there a way to stop this from happening please.

There isn't one, it uses the username of the user.

PHP Code:

$newpost['username'] =& $vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 


What PHP version are you using?

I've fixed this in v3.1, to be released.
