hi, I currently use the 'Form Hack' and am curious as to if this might be a better solution...

I'm trying to set a Mod up for Reviews and Guides that are submitted to my site...

Is there a way that once they fill out the form, the form is posted - in a different format? For example some fields they fill out, will not show - and some fields they fill out, will show in different spots on the form (after accepted)

Example here Left 4 Dead Review

You see 'Title of Review' - is different then the title of post - can the 'Title of review' = thread title?

---

I'm also curious as to how to set this up, so the form itself once accepted - posts onto a Custom page created.

Like this example: Example of Custom Page

And once inside the page that has the reviews, the review(form) itself, could be made to look like this: Example of Submitted Review

I'm going to be adding a form output layout field soon where you can customise the layout of the form's output.

You can specify a different title of thread according to one of the fields or custom input.

You'd have to edit the plugin and add a new form action - to do that would require php knowledge

Thanks a ton for the work on this mod? Can anyone confirm this works for 3.6 versions?

Thanks,
Curt

You can download v1.8 here - I don't think anything major will be added (if anything at all) before I release it properly in the first post of the thread

i downloaded and upgraded the mod

but when i try to get to the form link as a guest
i still get to the login page

Have you given them permissions in Easy Forms Options?

i did in the VB options

not in the form permmisions

when i try to change to groups allowed in the form options i get an SQL error

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'submitmessage' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

and it happens when i try to make a new form as well ( when trying to set the permissions )

Hey banana, what stage are you at with putting the form to look differently after accepted/sent in?

That's a big thing I need and i dont wanna customize the other hackk I have, or this - would a donation help get it up there? PM if interested

Since v1.9 you can customize the look of your form. You can download v2.0 in this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201097
