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.

Form xml files should be cross compatible between v4.x and v3.x

Question - multiple checkboxes


Form Results Table

Perhaps add checkboxes to


AdminCP -> VBulletin Options -> Easy Form Options -> Question Types to Hide in Form Results Table

Although this will affect all your forms

Anyone else?

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

I dont have keycaptcha in my vBulletin Options, is it a custom modification you have added?

Is there a way to use the created forms on other pages within vbulletin. If so what is the code i would drop into a page to display a certain form i created. I appologize if this question has already been answered. Dont have the time to sift through 88 pages.

Embed using <iframe>

Change 2 to the appropriate form id.

Thank you. Very much appreciated. Its a bit tricky to get the iframe to align the form correctly. I will have to tinker with it a bit. Is there an easier way to code the form in. Possibly in PHP.

[gjc]

I ended up getting it all lined up, but this method seems like it will have issues with different browsers and resolutions. I would prefer to use php to drop the form in. Is there a variable i can use or a hook i can create in order to show to form on any page.
