Post data from a form on the main site, to the form on the forum (which is protected by vB permissions from guests).

Basically, can I interface with the forum without the user having to visit the form on the forum, or will I have CSRF issues?

It would not bypass the permissions of the form on the forum. So non-registered users would receive a no permission message on submitting the form.

Thanks for your speedy response. The error is occurring when trying to create a form from the Quick Links tab

When I disable Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count the error disappears

$complete = false;
} 


Thanks for the help bananalive. I pasted this code in and ensured the question numbers matched but it is allowing me to submit the form even though the answer to q#3 is no. What question type should I be using? I have tried several different.

The problem is with one of 'Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count' plug-ins but there's an easy solution:

Edit plugin: Cyb - APBOUPC - G1 (CT)

Replace PHP Code with:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['apboupc_global_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='misc'))
        {
            $globaltemplates = array_merge((array)$globaltemplates, array('cyb_apboupc_globalset', 'cyb_apboupc_globalset_currbit'));
        }

Make sure you are using the correct question hash's, see screenshot

This works for question type 2: 'Yes/No Question'

Superb. Less than 15 minutes from issue to resolution. That is the best IT / software support I have received

Now working too. Thanks for nailing it so quickly

Could permissions be set that only the forms are accessible to guests?

Yes, you can set usergroup permission on a per form basis when editing form

[bestword]

what is the change from 4.1.7 to 4.1.9?

Corrected thank you.
