I searched the mod thread but cannot find any mention of this:

We need to elect 3 new members for a committee position but have 6 candidates. Since we have 10 committees, the multiple checkbox setup is obviously the way to go. But how do we limit the user to only selecting 3 selections? And this is different for every committee. For some committees, we might have 2 spots or 4 spots available.

If this isn't already possible, can it be added? This is a SWEET product and having this functionality would make it absolutely perfect for us.

If someone can write this added code for me that I need, and of course tell me where to add the code, I will gladly pay for it. Bananalive is not around, his pm box is full, I've sent him two email messages about a week apart. I REALLY need this to work the way I said below.

If anyone is willing to help, please pm me.

THANKS

You may have 10 questions that everyone can answer but only a certain user group can see the answer to it.

I need to be able to select WHAT GROUP can see answers on an individual question.

When using the results to post a new thread, the new thread seems to be ignoring all forum moderation rules and viewing permission settings.

For example, we have a forum that requires a moderator to approve a thread before it becomes visible. Once the thread is visible, only the original poster and members of a specific usergroup can view it. However, when Easy Forms creates the thread after form submission, the new thread is not put in the moderation queue and can be viewed by anyone. Is there a workaround for this?

How can I change the color of the * that follows required questions?

I've tried the replacement variable manager, but that screws up the title of some threads that have *'s in them.

SOLVED:
In AdminCP, I clicked "Search in Phrases". In "Search for Text", type *. In the Product drop down box, select "Easy Forms" and click "Find".

Click "Edit" beside "form_compulsory_symbol".

In the Translation box, type <font color="red">*</font> changing "red" to the color of your choice.

Hi there,

I tried to figure it out myself by checking the templates and stuff and searching this thread but didn't succeed.

So I ask for help: on the output form, how can I increase the space between the questions section on the left and the reply area on the right.

Please see the attached image, where the red arrow is I want to create a bigger distance.

Could you please tell me how I can do this?

Thanks a lot and keep up the great work (and do not drop supporting vB mods please!).

Hi - I can use the forms fine to control a new post in a forum, but now I want to use forms on replies to posts. Note quite working for me.....

More specific questions:

1. What should the hook be set to - presently is newreply_form_start - is this right?
2. In the form I have set the option to Post in Thread (but with no threadid) - is this right?
3. The code in the hook is:

if (in_array($forumid, array(56,9999)))
{
header( 'Location:/listings/misc.php?do=form&fid=12' ) ;
}

where 56 is the forum and 12 is the form

This format is what worked in in the new post form.

Suggestions welcome!!

Hey all - I know it has been a long time since I posted my problem back in post #321 but I finally found a solution to this.

The mod SEOForums.org Advanced SEO META Tags for vBulletin conflicts with this mod (well at least on my install it does).

I'm currently running 4.1.0.PL2

Once I disable that mod, everything works perfectly. (Actually disabling it fixed a few other problems not related to this mod as well...)

I'll be uninstalling that one and keeping this one.

ok i went thru about 80% of this monster thread...wow

ok here is my question...i see what you did in post #64 and that is make it so you can choose an answer that is a thread title that is in a certain forum....now can you make it so that is the thread that the results go to from the form?...aka user can choose what thread in a forum the results go to every time with out having to go to that thread/s every time?
