So I had that form all created as you see above in screenshot. I then decided to remove 3 questions entirely and delete them. I had two results(forms) already posted though.

I'm trying to remove those two answers (forms) that someone submitted, and I get this:
vBulletin Message
Error, this form does not exist.


I'm assuming its because it's trying to delete those answers with those original questions tied to them, but I deleted them.

If I hover over the delete link:
#

Name
Will Have Done by
Ticket #1

I don't even see ID or FID = a number at all....its just = nothing

Have you edited template form_showoutput?

In the other words, can I create a custom bb code and format the answer with it?

2 possible options

1. Use custom output
2. Create vBulletin Hook with following attributes: (AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Add new plugin)
   Change 44 for appropriate form id and 325 for appropriate question id
   Change for appropriate bb code
   • Title

     favourite song mp3

   • Hook

     easy_forms_post_question_start

   • PHP Code
     PHP Code:

     if ($fid == 44 && $formbit['id'] == 325)
{
$form['saveprea'] = $form[prea];
$form['savepsta'] = $form[psta];
$form[prea] = $form[prea]."[mp3]";
$form[psta] = "[/mp3]".$form[psta];
}
elseif ($fid == 44 && $form['saveprea'] && $form['psta'])
{
$form['prea'] = $form['saveprea'];
$form['psta'] = $form['savepsta'];
$form['saveprea'] = $form['savepsta'] = '';
} 

   • Active

     Yes

Post in Thread

You can leave the threadid blank as it is being specified in custom question.

If you export your form and upload it here - i'll have a look for the problem.

I am still getting this same message. I have ten fields, and I just don't understand the problem.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Installed, working perfect, Thanks for a great and complex mod.

I have one question :

Is it possible to display a form within a post/thread? Or can forms only be displayed only on their own misc.php URL? It would be great if I could add a form at the bottom of a post but I can't find any option or documentation if this is possible...

Thanks.

[LoudBox]

Great plugin, works very well, good job. I'm impressed.

Quick question. I've set the form to output to a thread. What I'd like is that when this thread is created by easyform, his signature is a link to that thread.

So user john submits form => thread is created yourforum.com/forum/john-thread/
Now user john has as signature a link to that thread

What's the best way to go about this?

Thanks!
