They fill out the form fine but get the error when they hit "manage attachments" I allowed attachments and posting rights in those forums. They other forms post fine its just attachments.

Any ideas?

Hate to repeat the request.

Is there any plans a foot to integrate calendar event creation into the MOD? So someone could enter in a Start and End date and have the calendar event created automagically?

I need some help on this code for a custom question.

I'm using this code to ask new applicants to our clan to pick from a list who they were referred by. However when I change it to the correct usergroupid = 18
It will not display any names. However usergroupid = 2 does work.

Any ideas?

$answer .= '</select>';

I use the following code to successfully do what you're wanting:
The usergroup ID number I've used is 50. Try changing 50 to 18 and pray.

PHP Code:

$answer .= '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$answer .= '<option></option>';
$thisanswer = $q_{$formbit[id]};
$members = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE membergroupids LIKE \"%50%\"
ORDER BY username ASC");
    while($row = $db->fetch_array($members)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[username].'"';
if ($row[username] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>';

Thank you. It worked!

Not sure where to ask this.

I use keyCaptcha and am having problems submitting forms. I can preview the form but when I submit I get this error even though I get the green check mark (keycaptcha passed).



Anyone else?

EDIT: I changed to question answer instead of keyCaptcha and the form will submit. I guess I can't use keyCaptcha.

Can somebody please recommend a smarter way of constructing a question with multiple checkboxes so that the Results Table doesn't end up bloated with the answers selected?

Question - multiple checkboxes


Form Results Table

[zushiba]

so recently we've run into the need for this question type came up. Similar to the grid we need the ability to make a question and answer grid.

I've attached an image. Just a request if you ever get around too it.

Bananalive answered so many questions from me about the 3.8.4 version I was running that he finally worked up an xml sheet for me to have a look at. After loading that in to easy forms I got the picture of how to make it work. Thanks again.
BUT
Due to some personal problems I lost my storage bin which had all 4 of my desktop computers in it. All I have left is my lappy, my cameras, and my happy a**. So no I didn't get the chance to see if the old vb3x xml sheet works with the current version of this mod.
Maybe just maybe Bananalive has it stashed away somewhere...

But Bananalive consider this version installed and I'll just bang away on it and see if I can make it do what the old version did.
