Where is the form posting (new thread, pm, post, email)?

[E.T.]

Wow this looks great.

Maybe you can help me with a small thing.

I've create a form and would like to mail it to an username, but I cannot find it how to choose the username...., when I'm edit the form I can fill in the email adres in the field email adres and sent it, that will work for me, but I would like to give other people access to the form and once they have fill in the question, do you realy want to sent an email to one of our users they can fill in an username or email adres.

Is it possible to create a a custom field were I can fill in an username or email adres so the form I've created will be sent to the specific user ?

Is it something like this ?

Forumid/threadid/username can be specified by input via {value=X} in dropdown, single line input or radio buttons

If so, how can I create such input ?

Thanks in advance.

New thread.

Hey there! Great mod! I'm having some trouble creating a custom form output. I have no trouble getting standard 1 option button and text to appear on my form but I can't seem to figure out how to get checkbox options to output to the form (I just get Array appearing). I also can't seem to get multi-line text to output. Im guessing I just don't know the correct syntax so any help mastering this would be really appreciated!

Also while I'm here...what is the easiest way to output a section of answers on the left hand side of the resulting thread and another section on the right?
Thanks Again

Ok, i'm looking into this problem. I think it is to do with vBulletin requiring human verification for new threads for guest posts.

Edit: Found & fixed issue - guests required to complete human verification - will automatically appear if needed (required by vbulletin)

I'll look into the custom output.

Edit: fixed checkbox, multi-line text

Probably using custom form output with bbcode: [left], [right]

I'll test the attachment error out later on my test forum.

Edit: I can't replicate this problem.

You'll have to use the form hook, and run a query, if it already exists use $complete = false; to stop form submitting
