Is it possible to view a single result?

I am creating a widgit in PHP that shows the users submitted forms with an easy "Edit" button but I'm stuck on how to just show them their result as it goes in to a database not a forum.

So I'd like to just show them the resulted form information they entered for that single entry.\

EDIT: Oh I suppose I could just pull the Output field. Though then I need to find a way to show the output of the BBCode from the database in a php widgit.

To parse it, use the following on $output:

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list(), true); 
$output = $bbcode_parser->parse($output);

v4.2.3 Beta

v4.2.3 is the addition of searchable Form Results Table. If you have a go and let me know what you think.

[zushiba]

Awesome, bananalive you have no idea how much work this addon is saving me. Thank you!

Upgraded, looks great and the search function works great!

bananalive: Exporting to excel doesnt work well with some fields it seems. It's not taking my radio button results, nor my multiline results. Are you aware of the issue, or have a fix? Just curious. Thanks for the hard work on this mod. It's one of a kind!

[DevinM]

Any idea what might cause this display/formatting problem? Or how to fix it?



I havent modified anything, just installed and noticed it was doing that.

There was a problem with Grid Questions, I'll release a fix later today. But not with multi-line or radio that i aware of it? If you cannot see all the text - try expanding the cells height and width.

It should be copying the styling from other parts of the forum. If you want to manually edit the formatting, edit template form_list_bot

In v4.2.4+ 'Create New Form' it has been changed from a link to a button.

v4.2.4 (just released in first post) is the non-Beta version of v4.2.3 (with a few bug fixes from the beta version)
