I'm not sure how to fix the problem, it works for all other browsers - I can only suggest using a browser other than IE.

Create a custom question, with the following php code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_suggest.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>'."\r\n";
$answer .= '    <script type="text/javascript"><!--'."\r\n";
$answer .= '        function setAjax()';
$answer .= '        {';
$answer .= '            if (document.getElementById(\'userfield\'))';
$answer .= '            {';
$answer .= '                snc = new vB_AJAX_NameSuggest(\'snc\', \'userfield_txt\', \'userfield\');';
$answer .= '                snc.allow_multiple = false;';
$answer .= '            }';
$answer .= '        }'."\r\n";
$answer .= '    --></script>'."\r\n";
$answer .= '<div id="userfield" class="popupmenu nomouseover noclick nohovermenu">                    <input class="primary full textbox popupctrl" name="'.$formbit['id'].'" id="userfield_txt" tabindex="1" autocomplete="off" value="'.$formbit['value'].'" />                </div>'; 


Then: Edit Form -> Form PHP Hooks -> Form Hook: Form Start:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['shell_blank'] = str_replace('<body>','<body  onload="setAjax()">', $vbulletin->templatecache['shell_blank']); 


This looks pretty good. The only problem I found was it allows me to enter the name of a user that doesn't exist. But I think it is almot there.

Hello,
i get some problems with grid-questions!

If i create a grid-question, the output doesn't work, if a individuell output-style is used!
I'll attach three screenshots to show what i mean.

screen 1: Settings Output-Styling
screen 2: Preview of the grid )submitting would cause the same "array"-effect
screen 3: Preview with a standard outputstyling

vB-version: 4.1.2 Suite

Hi there - tried that.

I removed the variables for the form (as they don't change when you copy) - anyway this shows the forum ID of what I selected in the drop down but it posted in to the default forum. (65 is the ID of the other forum) Its like it doesn't actually update it prior to submission.

For the username check...

Form Hook: Before Submit:

PHP Code:

$checkuser = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username = '".$vbulletin->db->escape_string($q['username'])."' ");
if (!$checkuser['userid']&&$q['username'])
{
$preview = true;
$complete = false;
$inputerror[344] = '<font color="red">Invalid Username</font>';
$incompleteqs[] = $qn['username'];
} 


Change 344 to the question hash

and make sure the Username Suggest question has Reference Name of:

username

i figured out a nother problem with the grid-questions:
If i use a comma for a "item", i'll brake the line and put all the text after the comma as a new "radiobutton"

e.g.:
when the text for the "Grid Rows" (4 rows) is like:
ok
yes
maybe
no, but next year

the question will shown as 5 rows:
ok
yes
maybe
no
but next year

Thank you very much. Nice solution. All good now. I can now finalise my other bits and pieces on the site and get ready to launch. :-)
