I'm having the same problem a few others are, whenever a form is filled out it goes into moderation queue when form is set to Post new Thread.

I have tried both version 2.4 and 2.5 with no luck and have also adjusted the

PHP Code:

$newpost['visible'] = '1'; 


to

PHP Code:

$newpost['visible'] = '0'; 


Any other suggestions?

[silvermerc]

Theres a error, i can't make it so unregistered can not view the form :{

This looks like it's a great mod, but it appears that it doesn't work all the time.

Sometimes it will send the pm/email, sometimes it doesn't.

If you want posts to go to moderation queue $newpost['visible'] should be 0. If you don't then $newpost['visible'] should be 1.

That's deliberate - some options only apply once you have questions and most of the them are advanced options

Email will have a time lag for you to receive it.

It appears to be that way. May I ask why?

[tehtide]

First I want to say... what an awesome plugin.

now for my question...

Is it possible to pull information about the user that submits the form and display it in the thread that is created? Specifically I'm looking for their birthday, timezone etc. I took a look at the custom form output area... but couldn't see a way to add that stuff in.

thanks in advance

Two reasons:

1. You may have set your vbulletin board to queue emails before they are sent
2. Your email provider takes time to receive/send email

The quickest way at the moment is to add a custom question

For a timezone field use the following PHP code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="GMT+' . $vbulletin->userinfo[timezoneoffset] . '" />'; 


You can preview this in the test form here

If you have your forum settings to Moderate New Posts Sometimes this mod wont work
I have it so new threads are not moderated & it works 100%

one thing i find with it.. is the BBCODE edits for the question and answers for After the form is submitted.... I add [color="red"] for example to the bbcode after the indent and italic one... once submitted it doesnt save it fully... i end up with with[INDENT][I]{COLOR=

is there a way to fix this?

It's messed up by the ", use [color=red] for now and I'll find a fix for it.
