Tested 1.7.

1. It would be nice to replace groups selection with multibox, at least in mod settings. Product code looks like this:

Code:

<options><settinggroup name="general"  displayorder="30"><setting varname="usergroupsexample"  displayorder="10"><datatype>free</datatype>
<optioncode>usergroup:5</optioncode>
</setting>
 </settinggroup>
</options>

Blank selection can meen "All groups" or "No Groups", depending on setting type. I don't know, if it's possible to use the same selection interface in form editor, but that would be very user-friendly - less time & less mistakes during setup.

That is very very useful - never seen it before. Two questions though: is it compatible with v3.6 and how can I use the array it outputs?

Its possible to do it on 'edit form' via custom query to do it quite easily - I'll add that soon.

I don't think, that complicated editor is necessary, just a simple text area, where one can enter any bbcode & marcoses with variable names and values. If none entered - then standard one is used.

I like this idea

Pardon my ignorance, but what are macroses?

Anyway, nobody prevent me to add necessary modifications, when your product will be stable, without frequent changes. Of cause, will send you all changes to consider.

I apologise, that can't help with coding right now, because all my efforts are spent to my own mods, which will be available soon. But if additional donations can help, that's not a problem. Your product is one of "everybody must have".

p.s. thanks for all your help

No ideas about 3.6.

Output of that multiselection box (when you store settings in ACP) is a serialised array with selected groups IDs. Unserialise variable and enjoy

:5 (in example) = number of lines in box (if groups count is more, then scrolled)

{username}, {q_1}, ...

That's my bad english

There are very recent screenshots in first post if you don't want to register.

Is there any way to customize the Post Submit message?

Right now, after the form is submitted, a message comes up with a link to the thread where the data is posted.

That thread has restricted access so I would rather change the message to say something else.

Thanks.

To change the width of form to 100%:

Open template form_view
Find:
HTML Code:
```
<div style="width:640px" align="left">
```
Replace with:
HTML Code:
```
<div style="width:100%" align="left">
```

You can use bbcode in question to make them coloured:

Example Code:
HTML Code:
[color=red]Question[/color]
Example Output:
Question

ssslippy · #**111** 01-07-2009, 11:08 PM

The * and : are linked together. So if the question is not mandatory it removes the :. Also note that when you put a ? proper grammar says you should not have a : after it. I would totally remove the : and the person creating the form can add it.

Also I tried using the regular expression ^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$ which i use to restrict on user names of people who register on my forum. This only allows normal english and numbers.

I get this error

Code:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in [path]/misc.php(97) : eval()'d code on line 596
