Easy Forms - Create a form or multiple forms without php or html knowledge

[SnowBot]

EDIT

Got it working

[nascartr]

I have an idea that I think would be a useful feature.

Allow an email field for the user.

A member can enter their email into an optional field and if they do then they get a duplicate confirmation to the email of the submitted form.

That could open the door to spam, but if it were to be sent to the user's account email, that would be nice...

Ah...yes, if you're using it as a registration form, I guess that wouldn't work too well. :(

[nascartr]

What about have an option to include a checkbox that if the member checks it then the form data is sent as a confirmation to the email address on file for them.

I am using this form system for a fantasy sports game and the results go into a private topic. Some of the members would like confirmation of their votes since they can't view the private topic.

[bananalive]

Thanks for the great modification. I am just starting to use it and have two questions.

Question 1:
How do I get the form results to be saved to the database? When I creating a new form I see a drop down box with the following options:

PM Form to User
Post New Thread
Post in Thread
Email Form


I do not see anything that allows me to "save to database".

I checked the tables after creating a form and using the form and the formresults tables is empty.

Question 2:
Ideally I want a user to fill out a form and submit it. When it is submitted it is posted to a thread and saved to a database. Is this possible?

Thanks!

A1. I missed the option of new form, I'll correct this in next version. In the meanwhile just create the form and then when you edit it the option t save to database will appear.

A2. Yes. Use the following code in Form Hook: Before Submit:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

I discover that the form is submited or not depending of the order of the variable options that I indicate in the "Thread/ PM/ Email Title: " field:

Example: It's ok with "{q_1}: {q_2}" but not submit the form if I wrote "{q_2}: {q_1}"

In other form it's ok with "{q_6} {q_5}" but not with "{q_5} {q_6}"

:confused: :confused: What's wrong?

Thank you bananlive! ;)
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I've found a fix for next release.
whats the point of this mod ?
You can collect data in the form you want from your users.
Im able to access the form via misc.php?do=form&fid=10&threadid=(dynamic) but the script is unable to figure out which thread to post in.

I left "Threadid where Post is Created:*" blank since this would need to be dynamic. Unsure where to proceed from here.
What exactly do you mean by dynamic? Do you mean if misc.php?do=form&fid=10&threadid=12345 it gets posted in thread 12345.
Thanks for this mod!!.

I have a question. In my form I have a field with this custom form output.

{q_1}

When the answer is blank it shows code because this field is not compulsory, like this

[IMG].

If the field is blank I don´t want to show BBcode, how could I correct this??

Hi, Banana,

At last, got enougth time to study latest changes in your form constructor. Thanks a lot for your work. I have some proposals, may be, youll find those useful for your 3.0 version :) .

1. Processing can be switched from "form parameters" to "form actions". That will spin flexibility to the next level, and will simplify / improve coding & interface for each action.

Each action can have a custom parameter & action can be added to form in the same manner, as questions. The big advantage is, that you can have several action in one time (or just skip unnecessary one). Here is actions examples:

- posting
Create Thread
PM form
Email Form
... (other types of data processing)- customisations
Custom success message (? with JS redirect to URL)
Custom error message if no permissions to use form (? with JS redirect to URL)Of cause, that can be done via hooks, but that method is much more complicated, than just push mouse buttons :) . And you are not limited to add new actions, when required. That's a kind of "advanced hooks conctructor" :)

(*) Don't know what is better: to keep title & template common, or make it individual for each posting action. Probably, second method is better and simplify main form editing page.

2. "Only for guest" questions.

Reason is simple: User should not care, which form to select for feedback. That's extremly significant for advertiser and payed visitors. If he is registered, then additional information is taken from profile. If not - he is asked to fill additional input fields.

Solution is trivial: add flag "only for guests" for all questions.

3. Full template language support in form templates.

AFAIK only macroses are supported now. But it would be useful to support <if> <else> and all internal forum variables in form templates. It seems, there are no serious barriers to do that. vBulletin have a powerful templates parser, that can be used. It's useful with proposal (2), when you can easily fix template output, depending on user permissions.

4. Please, check vulnerabilities issues

- What happens, if user enter macros name in text field? Are such patterns stripped (or converted to safe style) prior to process form?

5. It's better so send Emails in HTML. Вetter look, when use several actions (make post and send email)

(*) If you'll switch to "actions", it's possible to create new one "send email as HTML" :) . If each action has personal template, that's not a problem at all.

6. Don't know, if it's useful, but I'd enlarge default form description font to SIZE=2. And would remove "Form Description" from border.

7. It would be useful to have form active for user, but hidden from public list. No ideas, why you use 2 access settings in product options, but only sigle setting for each form. Parameter "who can view form in list" can solve it.

8. Date question format. Some prefer dd-mm-yy. May be, format type to this question?

9. Does "send email" support multiple addresses?

(*) Useful, but not critical if multiple actions are supported.

Regards,

Vitaly.
1&2. These would require alot of edits, but will probably be available in the future.
3. I've tried and failed to find easy way to allow <if> in form custom output
4. Shouldn't do, I'll check this
5. vbulletin mail system doesn't allow html or bbcode :(
6. You can use bbcode to do that
7. ? I don;t understand what you're saying
8. You can change that by editing form_formbit_date and:


Code:

to

9. Should do, haven't actually tested it

[Vitaly]

1&2. These would require alot of edits, but will probably be available in the future.

PM me, if you need some help. I don't want to make a separate product and support it, but can invest some time/money to improve your one.

Another good option is to import-export actions in XML.

7. ? I don;t understand what you're saying

If user have access to form, then form is listed on the main product page. But when this page is used as "contacts", it's better to hide some (liks to those can be shown on another pages).

For example, I have english contact form, rarely used. And I don't wish to show it to russian-speaking visitors, that are 99% at my site.

Ok, I entered the code as you posted but it didn't work so I changed the "54" to the actual # of the question. That works, it will email the votes to the users email however the layout is badly messed up. There is no formatting after it submits...everything is on one line.

Ok, what if I had the option to PM confirmation to user instead of emailing it. How would I get it to do that and still submit to the threadid?

vBulletin's mail system must not allow formatting, but maybe the PM system would?

Thanks bananalive for the quick response on my other questions. I have that working now.

I have another question. When customizing the Custom Form Output:, I noticed that the customized output only applies to newly created thread posts. Is it possible to get the previous posts updated so they incorporated the customized Custom Form Output?

Thanks again!

Hi,

Is it possible to organize the answers to the form questions so they are displayed in a table when the form is posted to a thread?

I don't think there is a bbcode table tag. I might use HTML but do not want to turn it on for the whole forum. Plus I tried using HTML and it is displayed in the preview and looks really bad.

Thanks

v2.8 Beta has just been released (see first post), it includes the following new features:

- Added security to prevent possible use of macroses in form inputs
- Guest only questions
- Modify post top with macroses & bbcode
- Search Form Results saved to database
- Option to not show form on form list (only applicable for those who cannot edit forms)
- Added rel="nofollow" to links on formlist
- Increased performance by consolidating preg_replace functions

[Simon Lloyd]

Bananalive, i noticed you visited my forum and made a slight change to the plugin code on my top tips form....Thanks!, it's beyond the call of free support!

One question what does the && do?, i was going to delete one but ten thought better of it hence me asking.

When using php conditionals:

if ($a & $b) if $a is true it will exec php code

if ($a && $b) requires both $a and $b to be true to exec php code

7. ? I don;t understand what you're saying

Sometime it's useful to have form, accessible by direct link, but hidden from list in main easyforms page.

Current rules doesn't allow to do that.

For example, I have rаrely user for for english feedback, but I don't like to abuse russian-speaking users with it (those are 99% visitors of my site).

I don't know, which implementation is more correct from ideological point of view:

Separate setting for each group "can see this form in global list"
Just a flag "hide from global list".

'Show on Form List ' is a checkbox feature of v2.7+ (default = checked/ true)

Ban, the latest update is fabublous, my LAST question would be VBACMPS integration, survey of the month, for instance. Does it exist? Has anyone had success?

Great Mod, thank you!

I wasl struggling with the moderated post thing.

I had the form set to post new thread in a forum.

I thought I had edited all the permissions for the forum to allow new posts from everybody but it still was moderating the new posts until I found this place that also needed to set to yes.

Follow Forum Moderation Rules If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue

Now it works as intended.

I do have one question however, how can I change this url so that it opens the link without opening a new tab or page?

/misc.php?do=form&fid=1

Thanks again,

Hi, Are there any plans to save each question response to a database as a seperate field so that answers can later be pulled from the database. It will allow the answers to be used for any number of reasons.

Alternatively is it possible to apply the formatting after the answer is stored in the database? Right now the formatting is being saved as part of the response so any changes to the formatting is not retroactive. If the responses to each question are stored in a seperate field in the database then the answers can be formatted as they are pulled form the database and any subsequent changes to formatting will always be applied to the answers as they are pulled from the DB.

Thanks for the great mod!

Well I've been using Form Hack for a long time now and I've just stumbled upon Easy Forms and to be honest I am amazed at how good this is, it's easy to use, it's easy to install and easy to configure.

Thanks for this :)

I'll be converting my forms over to this when I get some time, but one question for you:
My users sometimes create a checklist of things they have to do/achieve and then edit their list as and when they need to update things, something similar to this:

[ ] step 1
[X] step 2
[ ] step 3
[X] step 4

I've noticed that you can creat multiple checklist forms to create something like this, but is there any way to get it so that it creates its output like above and includes all the options but with a [] or [X] instead of just the selected options once a user submits the form?

Or is there anyway of re-editing a submitted form back into the original form template that created it? (so a user could change previous options they had saved)

Thanks again, and I will be nominating this for motm, nice work.

I decided against doing this as I thought it was over-complicated. Maybe storing the answers in php variables which could be eval'ed and then put through into the form layout. (It would be more server intensive though)

I don't think so, I think that would require both addition JavaScript/ajax. Although if your experienced with java-script you could try adding your own java-script with $headinclude

How do we search?

See attached screenshot

[designerweb]

It is important to be able to call these via variable in other parts of the site. I thought that this is possible since you are now saving answers to database. Am I wonrg? If I am, Any plans to do this?

This mod looks very promising. I am trying to make use of it. And I have a question: when I save to database, how do I do some kind of statistics from form submission data. After that I want to present the statistics in form of graphs. This mod then will work like a survey kit which make it very practical. Is is possible? If yes, a "hello world" tutorial, including form one time form submission limit, will be really helpful. I am sorry if the question has been asked cause I couldn't find it.

[Kiint]

How would I go about changing the output of the form so that it displays the answer next to the question, instead of underneath it?

Currently it's like this:

This is the question?
......This is the answer.

I would prefer it like this:

This is the Question? This is the answer

Edit: figured it out, just removed the Indent bb codes from the Answer BBcode: section and added \r\n\r\n in the 2nd box.

Use macrose (replacement variables) in the form {q_X} where X is the # number of the question. So for question 1 being the title use {q_1}

Installed and "Install" clicked.

Sorry for what may sound a dumb question, But - How do I select the usergroups that I want to see and use the forms that I make Please?

I , as Admin - am the only one that is allowed to make the form / put the forum together.

It appears that the E-mail form is not being E-mailed to me either. :(

Thanks in advance for your help.
To set usergroup permissions for all form:
vbulletin options -> Easy Forms Options -> Select Usergroups
(hold down ctrl to select more than one usergroup)

To set usergroups permissions for one form
Edit Form -> Usergroup Permissions -> Check the usergoups allowed to view form
Blank = uses vbulletin options settings

have you released 2.9 yet? i just got this installed and saw there wasnt yet an option to redirect to a custom page after submitting form. was going to ask about that, but looks like youre already working on it.

also is there a way to choose multiple submit options on submit.... email and pm or email and post or post and pm, etc.... (if already answered my appologies and ill find it tonight when i read through the whole thread).

great job btw! thanks!

I'm working on v2.9 atm. A beta of it will be released soon. It will include optional redirect to url and allow multiple actions (eg. pm'ing & emailing the form).

Hi - thanks for your reply,

Although that does work - the problem I get is that I cannot selct individual usergroups.

ie:
Administrators
Banned Users
Moderators
Not loggin
Super Moderators

I click on Administors and that is highlighted, I then click on moderators and the "Banned Users" between the two highlights. I have tried all ways to do it - but the Only way that I could get it to work is Add an "A" before the ones that I want to be able to view the form.

Also, how do I get it as a link please? It shows in the address bar as "http:// mywebsite.com/admin/index.php" or words to that effect, Sorry.

I can not get the security / Anti-spam question to work either.

I type the question, and the answer, but Both the question and answer show on my form. (Is the answer case sensitive? The reason I ask is that I entered the answer twice, once with a capital and agin with a lower case letter at the start of the answer. Maybe this is the reason).

I cannot get the Capatcha image on, by itself - I have to type a security question in for it to show.

Your help on the above matters would be very much appreciated.

[RedeemedWarrior]

ah as for my issue its talkerbot related

as for welshy have you tried ctrl as you select options?

that works for me :)

[Welshy2008]

Hi Redeemed - I followed the Mod's Instructions to the tee and used the "CTRL" Key.

It did work upto the point maentioned in my post above. post number 313 (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1740638&postcount=313")

With regards to my question on the "Human Verification Question", It still don't work with just the one answer.

When I select the "HVQ" it shows the CaPacha image also. I just want one or the other.

Your help is appreciated and congratualations on a great hack.

If you only want one usergroup selected then don't hold down ctrl. To deselect a usergroup ctrl+click it.

That's due to the frames used in the admin control panel:
admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=easyforms

The human verification question is the default vBulletin human verification question.

There was error with human verification question which is causing it to display twice, which will be fixed in next version.

I've noticed with my hack of this that it automatically marks the thread that I submitted via the form as a subscribed to thread. Is there any way to stop it from doing this?

[Vitaly]

Attached v3.0 Screenshots - Editing Form

1. Consider form hooks as actions. That's more "proper" design structure, and simplify interface.

2. Consider limited access to form editing only for superadmins & admin permissions (look imlementation in my pm log mod). Possibility to grant access to hook code not for admin makes me neurvous :)

[Welshy2008]

bananalive; If you only want one usergroup selected then don't hold down ctrl. To deselect a usergroup ctrl+click it.

Yes Sir, I understand that, unfortunately, It doesn't work for me. If I deselect a usergroup (From several that has been highlighted) the one that I select it highlighted and the others - which I want to remain selected/highlighted - Don't. :(

That's due to the frames used in the admin control panel:
admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=easyforms

? Sorry, although I am getting better daily, I am still new to this? I don't understand what you mean.

The human verification question is the default vBulletin human verification question.

I did notice. :)

There was error with human verification question which is causing it to display twice, which will be fixed in next version.

Brilliant. I appreciate that - Thank You. Could you tell me what your latest version is please? Do I need to un-install the one that I have/ Or overwirte it all?

Thank You in advance for such a fantastic Mod and Fantastic Support and Patience.

You are right, i made the form changes for custom question and looks good in the preview, however, using beta 6, one of my dropdown fields is showing the number of the selection rather than the words....dropdown 1 just has numbers, choose a number and thats ok, the next question also has a dropdown with words in the list but this is just returning the position of the word rather than the word.

Is it something i have done?

Also, when installing from 2.8 to 3.6 my Advanced Navbar Links dissappeared from my navbar template, I had to re-install the product and restore the database links to get them back. Does the installation modify any templates?

I just installed this as I had the other and it screwed up on me.

I got just 2 small questions.

For some reason the {value=x} put in the drop down box shows when form is submitted. I need the value to just know what forum to post it to.

Also I can't get the redirect to work. I don't see an option to specify what page to redirect to. Being posted to a forum, I would of thought it would redirect to that thread by default.

If these where discussed I'm sorry, but 25 pages to look thru. I got to page 11

I doubt if this will help but, here's a link to the form that my user would see: FORM (http://www.usfcralliance.org/forums/misc.php?do=form&fid=1)

maybe i totally missed it, but I'm trying to incorporate the prefixids to assign to new threads, I can't figure out how to set this when creating the new thread. Is it just something I can add to the process/submit hook, or am I missing something totally?

AWESOME work on this btw, It has allowed me to do some special applications I've been scratching my head about for almost a year:D Nominated for sure!

How do I pass a hidden variable to the form before it's submitted? Thanks :)

Odd, what version of Easy Forms are you using?

What vb version?

Are you logged in when you get the error?

[xlguy]

Found something interesting. If you are having the form contents sent to a private forum, if the user submits their form twice, they get a "duplicate warning" and then they are attempted to be redirected to this hidden forum. This gives them the hidden forum ID and can cause confusion. Anyway of skipping the duplicate check or perhaps skipping the redirect?

[Blackheart_72]

I have a quick question before I begin testing this mod.

I have a forum which is devoted to selling/buying on my site and we currently use formhack. What we need is to require a user to input name/price/location, ect. The problem that we currently have is that the hack we use lets anyone submit a thread.

I want to require users to have 25 posts to post or reply to a thread, but 0 posts to view. Is this currently possible with this mod?

Thanks!

[metalguy639]

Again I still have the problem of although I have it marked not to subscribe to a new thread in my UserCP this hack is only subscribing to the things that I have submitted thorugh it as a thread. Is there a way to stop this from happening please.

$q[1] is the new format for v3.x

Use $qo[1] for drop down menu

$qn[8] to show question 1 eg. Age
$q[8] $qo[8] to show question 1 answer eg. 45

And make sure you are using the # of the question eg. 8 not 2(see screenshot)

I did have to change it a bit to http://yourwebsite.com/forum/misc.php?do=forms to make it work but it works! :D The vBulletin guys installed my forums for me and that's where they put it. I am going to make myself a note to check the url when I have a problem like this again.

The mod is fantastic and i have had no issues at all however what i would like to do is change the name of the link thats placed in my navigation bar from "Forms" to "Join Us"

Could you tell me where i can find this info to change it?

I've tried adding a direct link in the navigation/breadcrumb templates > Navbar using this code "<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="/misc.php?do=forms$session[sessionurl_q]">Join Us</a></td>" but that doesn't work it just takes me to a page about the smilies available on my site.

Help please??

Just edit the phrase as the link is put there for you.

Hi Again,

Quick question around permissions.

I have the mod working 100% and love it however i have an issue that when someone completes the form it posts a new thread in a particular forum that i want, This forum is only available to a select few via usergroups permissions but when the form is submitted it always puts the thread into a moderation que that i then have to go to and authorise before the post is made.

I have tried many different things from completely deleting the set forum and re adding them along with deleting the usergroups and starting again but i have the same issue.

I have been through every usergroup and made sure that the moderation is not on at all but every time someone submits a form it always gets put in the moderation que.

Could you help me get round this or point out my stupid mistake that im making.

Cheers

Hi i think i'm having problems, when my members try to use the forum it says

vBulletin Message

test, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


And i have made it so that users CAN view and use it, I cant think what could be wrong, ive tried everything i can think of, also i get this message when i click 'add new user' in the admin panel
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/admincp/user.php(544) : eval()'d code on line 11

i can still access the page, it just says this right at the top, could this have anything to do with why its not working?

This is a great mod, just one question.

I am holding a contest that is valid from a certain date. I know according to the FAQ, how to set a minimal post requirement to signup.

Is there anyway to count if the users have had at least X posts starting on a certain date?

For example, contest starts on 2/23/2009 and ends on 2/26/2009. Even if a user has 100 overall, he must still make 5 NEW posts between 2/23 and 2/26 in order to qualify to register.

No sorry. Information about when the posts were created is not stored, by vbulletin

How do I input a hidden field to automatically log the users IP address regardless of their Usergroup?

How would I get it to include the forum users name and email address automatically in the output? I'd restrict use to members only.

it would need to save to database and send an email.

When can we expect the attachments option? This is the only thing keeping me from using this mod :)

It's already got the attachments feature., i guess he forgot to update the first post. :)

[dutchbb]

So how do we add it, i do not see the option for it. tnx.

Edit: nvm, i see the option for it. However we can not choose where to add it in the form?

It might be possible to do that with a custom question then put in php code, i'm not a coder so you will need to ask bananalive.

There is no option for that. You could however edit template form_view

Attachments are currently available for creating new thread but not for posting in a thread.

Either use custom output or use hook before complete:

Probably. I did a quick google and found this post (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showpost.php?p=61866&postcount=1) which might help you

Haha the attachment option was on like page 17 or something...

This gotta be one of the best mods out there right now. Most flexible.

When i choose for it to store the information in the database, where do i go to find the stored information? Does it go into MySQL? I would like to be able to pull this information out through php if at all possible.

Thank you. I knew it was something simple I was overlooking.
I forgot I had that turned on. DUH

You could use custom question to get birthday of user from their profile.

Can't think of any easy way of easy way to do all states/ countries. But for US/Canada you could use this custom question with following php code:

This is about perfect for what I am trying to do. My members want a list of recommended restaurants across the USA and Canada. Members from various states will submit their favorites via the forms. Here is my question.

I want to output the results to a "Recommended Restaurant" forum. I guess I could manually create a thread for each state and province. Then a member will submit the forum and it should go to the correct state/province thread. Do I have to create 57 different forms to do this? Is there any way that the form could use this drop-down state/province field to know which thread to post to?

***IGNORE THIS***
When I hit "submit" after filling out my form, I get the following error.

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/stratfan/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php
Line: 3254

I am very new to all of this, I was attempting to "create a new thread" with the forms information, any help would be appreciated.

(great product btw!)
***END OF IGNORE***

I figured it out! Thanks for the great Product!

Hi, fantastic mod!

A quick question - after the form has been submitted, a message appears stating "Form Submitted - Click here to go to the thread" (or similar). Trouble is, that only Admins have permission for the forum that the thread is posted in and if they follow the 'click here' they get an another error message...

I would therefore like to change this wording and have edited the "form_submit_message" and "form_submit_message_explain" via the phrase manager, but despite such, the message remains the same (ie the standard phrase remains unaltered)...

No doubt it is something I am doing wrong but any ideas would be very much appreciated....

[stratfan87]

I have a question related to ilanyon..

Like he said, you have the option to change what the user sees after submitting a form.

To change the message you put your own message in the text box below
Form Submit Message:
Message the user sees when the form is submitted successfully. Leave blank to use the default message."

I want to use this message to direct them to a different url, what code can I use? I tried [URL] tags and <a href> tags and they didn't work..

I understand there is a redirect option, but I want to display a message first, and also give a few options for where to go after the form is completed.

when i click manage attachments on the form i made i get this on the new screen...

Invalid Post specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator


form is set to post new thread and attachments allowed. logged in as admin

edit...
nevermind. i see what i did wrong. just need forum id # not link.

great mod!
