Can you please make

Usergroups Allowed to Edit Forms
Usergroups allowed to add/edit/delete forms (Permission to view Form List is recommended for these usergroups)

each on their own line? I want usergroups to be able to CREATE forms but not delete everyone's in the event someone get's angry. They can request deletion by a moderator.

Thank you!

Good stuff Banana, thank you. I got it working! I am using a custom question which selects a user from usergroup 2; reference name = shuser.

PHP Code:

$answer .= '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$members = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE usergroupid = 2
ORDER BY username ASC");
    while($row = $db->fetch_array($members)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[username].'"';
if ($row[username] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>'; 


Then, here is the code I am using to move a user to a new usergroup:

PHP Code:

$shuserid = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
    SELECT userid
    FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX ."user
    WHERE username = '" . $db->escape_string($qo['shuser']) . "'
");
//print_r($shuserid['userid']);

if ($complete) {
    $userinfo=fetch_userinfo($shuserid[userid]);
    
    //**Replace 18 with choosen usergroupid you want to add them to**//
    $user['usergroupid'] = 18;

    if (empty($user['usergroupid'])) {
        $user['usergroupid'] = 2;
    }

    $getusergroupid = iif($userinfo['displaygroupid'] != $userinfo['usergroupid'], $userinfo['displaygroupid'], $user['usergroupid']);

    $user_usergroup =& $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$user[usergroupid]"];
    $display_usergroup =& $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$getusergroupid"];

    $userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
    $userdata->set_existing($userinfo);
    $userdata->set('usergroupid', $user['usergroupid']);
    $userdata->set_usertitle(
        $user['customtitle'] ? $user['usertitle'] : '',
        false,
        $display_usergroup,
        ($user_usergroup['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canusecustomtitle']) ? true : false,
        ($user_usergroup['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) ? true : false
    );

    require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_ranks.php');
    if ($user['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) {
        $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] = $user['usergroupid'];
        $vbulletin->userinfo['displaygroupid'] = $user['usergroupid'];
    }

    $userdata->save();
}

Thank you, bananalive. This is a great mod. :up:

Is there an obvious location where the form id is displayed? I am interested so I can manage the redirect location for my newthread_form_complete plugin.

I also would like to see some method of autocomplete of a field through comparison to a database field such as username. Sounds like some AJAX and Javascripting would be involved, not unlike what is happening during a vB user registration when it is checking the length and content of the new username while it is being entered.

[mokonzi]

The form ID is always included in the URL...

[bigrover]

How can I adjust the forum destination for the form results dynamically? Specifically, I want to recognize the forum I am in when I make the call to the form 'http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1'. I am using the plugin example below and adjusted the array to the custom forum. It correctly loaded the form rather than the standard post editor, but it saved the results into the destination forum coded in the form (forum #2), and not the current forum where it was launched. Can I override that behavior?

Create vBulletin Plugin with hook location newthread_form_complete
PHP Code:
if (in_array($forumid, array(3)))
{
header( 'Location: http://www.your-site.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1' ) ;
}

The code I entered is:

$form[forumid] = forumid

I am trying to get the form to go to the current forum where the user clicked on the link to go to the form. What am I doing wrong?

***

On a separate thought, does the misc.php accept an argument containing the forumid, like the newthread.php? I could pass the forumid at the time the form is called if it does.

In a word, perfect, thank you.

Still looking for a tip/hint as to how I can make a form submit twice to 2 different locations Been playing around with it myself but I can't get it to work :-/
