But it's not possible to embed it in top of thread.

OK, thanks.

However...

How do I have the member be sent back to the thread that the form refers to? I'm just not sure how to code it.

That is, if the form is about thread X...when the user completes the form, I'd like them to be sent immediately to thread X upon submission.

Edit Form -> After Form is Submitted

1. Redirect user after form is submitted : Yes
2. URL of webpage user is redirected to: http://yourforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=X

Either edit the phrases:

• address_line1
• address_line2
• address_city
• address_state
• address_zipcode

Or edit template: form_formbit_address

The above is all I get when I try to post a form. All field minimums are set to zero.

This is not due to the field lenths but the whole form output length. (So the thread/post you are trying to post is less than 10 characters)

I have one question, excuse me if it seems trivial;
How do I skip a question depending on the previous questions answer? For example,
Q#3. Do you own a microphone? If the answer is "yes" then skip to question #5. If the answer is "no" then on to question #4.
Q#4. When do you plan on purchasing a microphone?

Thank you in advance.

If you make question 4 non-compulsory and then add the following to Form Hook: Before Submit

PHP Code:

if ($qo['3']==$vbphrase['no'] && !$qo['4'])
{
$incompleteqs[] = $qn['4'];
$complete = false;
}

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]\includes\class_bootstrap.php(1280) : eval()'d code on line 68

Is there a workaround so that I can run both products?

At what point is the error occurring? when you view a form? when you submit a form?

[apokphp]

Amazing support banana. While this is not exactly what I am looking for, I'm sure I'll find a use for it and do appreciate the hard work and constant support you give to your product.

Great job man.

Just wandering, could I make the form public, then post information to it, from a script so:

Post data from a form on the main site, to the form on the forum (which is protected by vB permissions from guests).

Basically, can I interface with the forum without the user having to visit the form on the forum, or will I have CSRF issues?
