Yes when the form is creating a new thread

Please, and thank you!

Find this line in plugin Easy Forms - Forms Tab:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'forms'; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'vbcms'; 


or

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'articles';

EDIT: Ok, I found my way how to do it. Just put a URL manually ...misc.php?do=deleteform&fid=1. Is there some bug in this script, how to fix it? Becouse when I click some links on Form screen, I get only URL ...misc.php# and obviously nothing happens.

I've changed how it's handled for next release, so it will work for those who don't have javascript browsers.

I would like to say thanks, this is one of the best mods to have available and use.

It is extremely easy and user friendly. It has made a huge difference for our website and allows for even more opportunities without having to worry about having to get a brand new XML form created or revised.

Again, great job and many thanks, this has saved many hours of time and frustration.

Any hints or help here would be heavily appreciated.

I am wondering I I setup a forum using Easy Forms if there is any way to intergrate this into vbadvanced?

Hey Banana,

I think I have a good one for you.

I am setting up a custom question to ask my moderators to select a name belonging to usergroup 2.

PHP Code:

$answer .= '<select name="'.$formbit[id].'">';
$members = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE usergroupid = 2
ORDER BY username ASC");
    while($row = $db->fetch_array($members)) {
$answer .= '<option value="'.$row[username].'"';
if ($row[username] == $thisanswer) {
$answer .= 'selected="selected"';
}
$answer .= '>'.$row[username].'</option>';
}
$answer .= '</select>'; 


That works great; I've given this question the reference of shuser. This will allow my moderators to select the name they want. When they click submit, I want the name selected to have the primary usergroup changed to usergroup 18. Here is what I tried as my first test (Form Hood: Before Submit):

PHP Code:

if ($complete) {
    $userinfo=fetch_userinfo($qo[shuserid]);
    $user=$userinfo;
    
    //$userinfo = $vbulletin->userinfo;
    $user['usergroupid'] = 18;
    
    if (empty($user['usergroupid'])) {
        $user['usergroupid'] = 2;
    }
    
    $getusergroupid = iif($userinfo['displaygroupid'] != $userinfo['usergroupid'], $userinfo['displaygroupid'], $user['usergroupid']);
    
    $user_usergroup =& $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$user[usergroupid]"];
    $display_usergroup =& $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$getusergroupid"];

    $userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
    $userdata->set_existing($userinfo);
    $userdata->set('usergroupid', $user['usergroupid']);
    $userdata->set_usertitle(
        $user['customtitle'] ? $user['usertitle'] : '',
        false,
        $display_usergroup,
        ($user_usergroup['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canusecustomtitle']) ? true : false,
        ($user_usergroup['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) ? true : false
    );

    require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_ranks.php');
    
    if ($user['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) {
        $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] = $user['usergroupid'];
        $vbulletin->userinfo['displaygroupid'] = $user['usergroupid'];
    }

    $userdata->save();
} 


Obviously, now I realize that the usergroup update code was meant to use a userid, not the username. So, what do you suggest? I was thinking that I could find a way to use the username for searching for the userid, I need to remember how I did that in the past, and then put that into the code. Do you know how to do that off hand? I'll keep searching.

Thanks.

I tried the following with no luck for the top part. I think this is mostly correct, but I must be doing a variable the wrong way.

PHP Code:

if ($complete) {
    $shuserid = $vbulletin->db->query_first("select userid from vBull_user where username='{$qo['shuser']}'");
    $userinfo=fetch_userinfo($qo[$shuserid]);

maybe instead of if ($complete) try using if (isset($qo['shuser']))?
Also make sure that $qo['shuser'] is correct, and it's not actually something like $qo[1]
