thank you, let me try it out "Install"

[HMBeaty]

Don't forget to click Install ;)

[Shazz]

Great mod, excellent style btw! (black one of course)

[HMBeaty]

Thanks Shawn :D

[Tilly]

Installed, not sure if I will actually use it or not, I only make moderators on who I trust, I dont want members getting their panties in a bunch because they are rejected :D

Cool nuff though

[jaycob]

YES!
Thank you..

[HMBeaty]

No problem! I've been waiting for this for some time and I was tired of waiting on somebody to update theirs so I made my own :D

Feel free to post any suggestions you may have for it as well

[Brandon Sheley]

Thanks for sharing :)
I was looking for this mod not to long ago

[jaycob]

this is so cool.
but after a member spends time writing out their Application and you go to submit, it says you missed eg: stat, it resets everything you have wrote in.
eg: you spend alot of time filling in "Why do you want to help this forum?"
and you do a big write up of your self, 1 mistake on submit scraps everything you have written.
can that be fixed?
also like the old Moderator Application, it creates a thread on new Application, that would be good to have.
but thx again, good work.


EDIT: tested 3 times and still waiting for email, how long does it take for the members Application to be emailed?

Not sure on how to do this but I will look into it

Thank you for your feedback!

but im not yet to receive an email for a Application, tried 2 emails.

I'm not sure what to tell you about this one. It works perfect for me as far as the emails. Have you checked your spam folders as well?

EDIT: Are you adding your email address(es) in the AdminCP vBulletin Options?

Is anyone else having this problem?

So the email works for you, but on your main site?

[soletrader]

The product is not compatible with versions 3.8 and below. Any chance of making it compatible? Thank you.

[jaycob]

So the email works for you, but on your main site?

yep only on my main forum it works, installed it, added email and worked first go.
my main sites url is mysite.com 3.8.2
the forum i tested with first url is forum.mysite.com 3.8.3

must be the 3.8.3 version?

[HMBeaty]

That may be a possibility

What vBulletin version are you running?

[soletrader]

What vBulletin version are you running?

3.7.5

[jaycob]

ok just uploaded Moderator Application to my twilight forum and it works nicely also installed on forums.mysite.com
its vbulletin 3.8.2

so the reason this is not working on the first forum i tried is because its version 3.8.3 maybe?
i cant think of any other reason.
also 3.8.2 is not much different than 3.8.3 i thought.

also sorry for spamming your thread out, but i'd love to know why it dont work on the first board.

The only other thing I can think of is to ensure all the email options are correct in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Email Options. Other than that, I have no idea :confused:

[SpeedyHire]

looks nice will tag it for install soon.
would make it 100% spot on if it could post into a forum and make a new thread along with a new poll:)

nice work thank you

[jaycob]

yeah im lost, i disabled every hack and it still dont work lol. Enable Email features is "on"
god knows what the problem is. i'll keep trying later for him, thanks again for the support and cool hack ;)

No problem. As for creating a new thread/poll, I'm unsure on how to do that, but I WILL look into it

[tlwwolfseye]

Would a permission Setting not be good, set Usergroups that are allowed to use this Form. So when I put it into the Navbar, only a certain usergroup can use this function ? That would be appreciated.

Also maybe the phrase "State" could be changed into "Country" because for outside-US that might not fit so much otherwise.

Will add/change this on the next version. Thank you!

[tlwwolfseye]

Fine. Thank you for this great mod. ;)

Another Idea would be to include the IP of the sender into the Email. And maybe alternatively also leave a choice in the settings of the AdminCP if the Form is send via Email or PM, or both even, setting the ID of a User this Form is supposed to be send to. Since sometimes Emails get lost, as backup this way the Form would be also send as a PM and for sure reaches its destination.

[Hornstar]

Feature requests:
* Forum permissions to allow/disallow users from submitting the form
* Certain criteria needs to be met for user to submit form. eg. x amount of posts, Also the ability to ensure user is in stated usergroups, eg. is in x, y, z usergroup etc.
* Form gets posted in designated forum section
* Poll gets created in that thread with yes, no, not yet. (definable in the admincp)



that would be pretty sweet, but none the less thanks for sharing, I will hold off installing this until it advances.

[SirHappy]

really nice work. tagged:)

[Kral.Hakan]

thakn's Installed

[LI Pets]

Maybe I read it quick or missed it but is this a link to the form that is emailed upon request or how is used on a site.

Looks great by the way.

[coffeefix]

How would I go about editing some of the questions? for example I would like for current staff members to be able to apply for other positions. I would also like to be able to edit some of the other questions.

Thanks


Edit: Never mind, editing the template seems to work. Maybe for the next version (if you make one) have some options in the admin panel for editing/changing questions?

No. This is an actual moderator application that your users can submit on your site and once submitted, it will be emailed to the email address(es) specified in the vBulletin Options

[HMBeaty]

Maybe for the next version (if you make one) have some options in the admin panel for editing/changing questions?
It's actually a bit more difficult than that. In order to change the questions, you have to change the template along with a few areas of the php file. Depending on how you want it answered (eg. radio buttons, textbox, etc) thats another task

[LI Pets]

No. This is an actual moderator application that your users can submit on your site and once submitted, it will be emailed to the email address(es) specified in the vBulletin Options

ok, where on the site do you suggest the app link appear?

I didn't see it on your site?

Have a good example.

It does not appear on the quick links (http://forum.pets-warehouse.com/forums/)

Any ideas?

log in

[HMBeaty]

Is it turned on? Also, you have to be a registered member to see the link. I won't be able to see your link on your site

[LI Pets]

yes it's turned on, log in with demo, demo1

Thanks

[HMBeaty]

Ok, I'm not sure why it isn't showing. I can see it in the source code. Try removing


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


Does it work?

[LI Pets]

got this

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 309 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.


This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

[HMBeaty]

Did you remove BOTH the

---------------

[LI Pets]

yes

<!-- Start Moderator Application -->

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="modapp.php$session[sessionurl]">Apply to be a Mod!</a></td></tr>
</if>
<!-- End Moderator Application -->

[HMBeaty]

No you didn't, you still have the </if> there

[LI Pets]

there were two

here's what I have

<!-- Start Moderator Application -->

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="modapp.php$session[sessionurl]">Apply to be a Mod!</a></td></tr>

<!-- End Moderator Application -->

Is that it?

Oe is it easier to just tell me exactly what you want there?


Thanks

[HMBeaty]

Yes, that would be correct

[LI Pets]

it's not there??

would it be quicker if you logged in to see it first hand?

[HMBeaty]

Hmm. You can PM me admin login info and I'll take a look and see if I can get it sorted out for you

[HMBeaty]

Ok, got it working for you. Since yours is a custom style and your links from your navbar are in a different area, you have to edit your header template for it to work. :)

[LI Pets]

Thank you very much.

Nice to have the Marines help us Navy guys

I recommend since some fields are already known by the system, such as name, email, location, birthdate, etc. Just pre-populate those (rather, uneditable grey them out) using the profile details already known.

email, location, birthdate, etc. Just pre-populate those (rather, uneditable grey them out) using the profile details already known.
I thought about adding these (location, bithdate) in, but some boards don't require that alot of this information to be required, and a field like email, some users may have a bad email address for their account and may want to use a separate email address.

[ShadowAssassin1]

Hey, I modded this, just modify the xml plugin file, pretty easy mate!

[TheLastSuperman]

Installed, not sure if I will actually use it or not, I only make moderators on who I trust, I dont want members getting their panties in a bunch because they are rejected :D

Cool nuff though

Same here however you could tweak it and have it for staff positions i.e. if you run a board and there are coders that would like to help you and present info to your community then it would serve another purpose but since we just don't have the need for it does not mean others won't and just look @ all the replies.

Redline, downloaded to look over, might us might not but regardless dl'd it so marking as installed.

Nicely done ;) thanks so much :)

[HMBeaty]

Not a problem :D If anyone has anything else they want added/changed. Please request it here. I've already started work on 1.3.0 :) (Mainly a couple small error fixes)

[SpeedyHire]

just the create a poll option would be nice
good work on new release:)


would be nice to have a seperate forum id for admin apps and mod apps.

so admin apps can be posted into an admin only forum and mods super mods posted into a mods forum???

Also how do you get it to have the question and reply in the new thread on the same line like

Enter any additional information: well this is getting there now, just - need input from members.

Do you know any of the options: Yes.
Do you moderate on other forums: Yes.
If yes, what other forum(s) do you moderate: www.bla bla bla www.yup yup yup



rather than

Enter any additional information:
well this is getting there now, just
need input from members.



Do you know any of the options: Yes.
Do you moderate on other forums: Yes.

If yes, what other forum(s) do you moderate:
www.bla bla bla
www.yup yup yup




thank you

[HMBeaty]

For example, to do this, you need to edit modapp.php.

In there, find:


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


And change to:


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

Easy, right?

I'm not so sure if I'm going to add the poll in this, but as far as the admin and mod apps being posted into 2 different forums, I'll see what I can do

Right now, changes to 1.3.0 include:
- XHTML 1.0 valid
- Fixed incorrect setting for one of the AdminCP vBulletin Options
- Added error page for users who do not have enough posts to apply
- Fixed version checking error
- Changed the format for the phone number so if "City, State" is selected, it appears as "(123) 456-7890". However, if "Region, Country" is selected, it will still appear as a regular text area (e.g: 1234567890)
- Cleaned up the thread/email a little bit more (Changed the user's name so it's on one line (e.g:"User's Name: John Doe"))
EDIT: Ok, after looking at the code again, as far as the mod and admin applications being posted in 2 different forums, I'm not sure that's possible

[silvermerc]

you should really change this to "Staff Application" so many jobs can be applied through this, you could also add a thing such as you cannot apply unless you have been on the forum for x hours or been registered for x days?

[SpeedyHire]

I changed the modapp.php yet it still spills over onto a second row.
thanx anyway will play with it some more:)

nice work

[HMBeaty]

Will be on 1.3.0. Thanks :)
you could also add a thing such as you cannot apply unless you have been on the forum for x hours or been registered for x days?
I will look into this one

[SpeedyHire]

I have changed it about to fit our needs on a gamming board:)
for clan members etc, nice work.
still not managed to get all the info for each answer on 1 line yet, but hey only a small thing:) looks good thank you

[silvermerc]

For next version what about involving things for Admins, such as when the application comes in they have 2 buttons, Accept or decline, if they hit accept it auto puts them in that usergroup?
Ross

[HMBeaty]

Updated to version 1.3.0

[HMBeaty]

Update made to the readme file. Just a small fix to a couple links

[tlwwolfseye]

Hmm, it will become non-free from 1.40 on ?
Don´t get me wrong, I am sure you put a lot of work into the Mod, and I and I am sure many others appreciate that, but its not like this is a major Modification, and even the most of those are free. You sure you want to do that ?
This is not an offence or complain btw. , its just my oppinion. I love your Mod and I would not like to miss it, so don´t get me wrong. ;) But I am not sure making it non-free will make it get around much.
I´d rather offer people to donate for your work, I would even do it myself under these circumstances, but thats up to everyone else. But making it completely non-free, I would think about that again.

Take care m8.

Hi,
maybe a feature for next Version.
Add a Poll to a spez. Forum (ie Teamforum) to vote about the User the will get into Staff :)

maybe a feature for next Version.
Add a Poll to a spez. Forum (ie Teamforum) to vote about the User the will get into Staff :)

I asked for that also, got told he wont be adding that feature:(

[silvermerc]

Instead of giving them a error why not just have next to it You must have X ammount of posts
then it doesnt let them fill in any forms ect

[HMBeaty]

I asked for that also, got told he wont be adding that feature:(
No longer true :D

I figured out how to do it!!! SO, a poll WILL be added to 1.4.0.!!!! :D Ok, gotta go clean the code up now, lol

[jaycob]

Havent downloaded (yet) but wanted to know.
Is there an option for applicant to request moderation of particular forum/forums ?

Also for the applicant to suggest a *new forum* that they could manage/moderate ?

Also what times +/- GMT they are generally available ?

Sorry. I'm unable to duplicate this error. Do you have a forum selected for the form to be posted in? Does it get posted there? Does the member see the thank you page after submitting, or does it just show that error?

Is anyone else getting this error?

Hi Redlinemotorsports,

Guru has done this and now it does not show up in any forum. I am writing cause his english is not very good. He did what you told him and now he does not get the error. Now what should he do as to get it to post in the forum some wheres?

[HMBeaty]

Set it to "Yes" and put a the Forum ID that you want the application to be posted in. Before, Guru stated that there was no Forum ID entered in that area, which is most likely what was causing the error

[fta_nightwizard]

I will give that a try Thank You for your fast response....FNW

[HMBeaty]

No problem :)

Yes, you would just need to edit your USERCP_SHELL template to suit your needs.

Possibly, I will look into this. Thank you :)

[CrashPush]

First off this is a great mod. I will nominate this.

I edited the application to fit my forums needs. I managed to edit the fields on the application itself but when an application is submitted I still get the old fields on the application.

e.g. Original field: What skills can you bring to this forum?
Edited field: What skills do have using vBulletin forums?

On the submitted application it still shows up as "What skills can you bring to this forum?

How can I change it so the submitted application shows "What skills do have using vBulletin forums?" instead of the original field?

[Mahar]

Did you edit the part where they send out the email or create a thread? That's probably why.

[CrashPush]

Did you edit the part where they send out the email or create a thread? That's probably why.

I just edited the template. Or is everything located on that one template?

You have to replace several areas inside the php file as well. Not everything is in the template itself

I noticed that and fixed it today.

Also, is there any way to make this file force a prefix when it starts a thread? I know it would be a simple file edit, I am just not sure where.

I also added in a little code that allows me to show/hide position information on the application based on which positions are turned on. I did it in the template, but maybe this could be a feature in future versions.

Not that I know of since it automatically creates the thread after submission. Or do you want it to have a pre-defined prefix?

I figured you had because I didn't see any complaints until this most recent version. It was probably just an oversight.

Yes sir, a predefined prefix would be great. I will only use one prefix so that the thread stands out to the staff and administrators.

Good to hear, I look forward to it!!

[HMBeaty]

Yeah. I don't like releasing mods with bugs which is why the next version is taking so long. I have been testing each new addition like crazy and sometimes just get an error that pops up out of nowhere. :confused:

You have to edit the template in order to change the ranks you want users to apply for.

Note that you must edit the template in 2 separate areas for it to work correctly

[HMBeaty]

Make sure Create a thread is set to yes and that you have the correct forum ID entered in your field. For example if your forum ID looks like http://www.yoursite.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1 you would enter the number 1 in that field. Same thing with the email, make sure you have the correct email address entered and check your spam folder

That is not a feature in this modification. You need to check the permissions you have set for that forum/usergroup that the application is being posted in.

[Come2Daddy]

actually it's a great idea I've always think of it, however there are some remarks make it inconvenient:

1st: it doesn't deal well with right to left languages (so yes is no, & no is yes)
2nd: yes and no are vbphrase, so to translate them we have to go through the template (which is tedious)
3rd: fields are a little restricted, such as the phone number

***update*****
and before I forget, the powered by vbulletin page (i.e., staffapp.php) is not compatible with version 3.8.4

u should replace this line:



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



with this:



Code:
---------------

anyways, I liked it

[HMBeaty]

Well, I'm not familiar with the right to left languages so I'm not sure how to change that so it will accommodate your needs. And version 2.0.0 (was originally going to be 1.4.0) which should be released next month is pretty much a complete rewrite of the staff application along with LOADS of new features. One of those being that the email field is required while the phone number field is now optional. Unless you meant "restricted" in a different way. So, feedback on how you would like to see those or improvements that need to made are appreciated.

It allows your users to submit an application for staff positions or whatever other positions you want.

In the vBulletin Options, it allows the application, upon submission, to create a new thread and/or be emailed to the email address(es) that you specify

[Dan!]

I like this, but its a shame I cant pick which applications are open..

Maybe, if you made it so the tick box could have an input field or maybe have it so that I can put the placments that are open in a box on admincp and they go towards the applications page as a select button like they are atm

i might use it or edit it to my prefference, but I strongly recommend you edit it so that we can add our own job app placments.

All that is is a quick template edit to change what positions you want users to apply for

[TimberFloorAu]

I am still watching this :)

I do have some questions:

Incidentally havent downloaded as yet.

We are about to allow users to run their own forums. A kind of personal forum arena.

I am right in thinking we could use this application to allow members to come forward and propose their new forum idea ?

So... that being the case.

In the application admincp, i notice the application is set to apply for mod/supermod/admin I think.

If we created a new usergroup, called say : Manager

How could we integrate this application, so that we could accomodate our members applications, is it as simple as setting a usergroup switch, so that upon success, they are automatically added to that usergroup?

[TimberFloorAu]

And can this be tweaked ?

In terms of:

1. I would like to start a forum called XYZ
2. Description Textarea

etc etc

That would just be a simple phrase edit and a couple template edits to change the positions that you want users to apply for.

So if I wanted to add Web Team or Graphics Team how about would I go about this and is this something in the future you will be adding to the mod

To change the positions on the application, you would find (x2) in the template staff_app


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

and change the value="" and also the $vbphrase[]. Or, if you don't want to edit the phrase, you could just hardcode the positions into it.

And if you want to edit the vBulletin Options to reflect your changes, you COULD enable debug mode, and edit your settings or any changes you wish to make there, which would be much easier. To enable debug mode, enter this in the config.php file:

Quick question. I used the mod and when the thread got created in the admin section it automatically subscribed me to the thread. Any way to stop auto subscribing users to that thread I mean its in a forum they don't have access to. So to them it may seem broken.

Quick question. I used the mod and when the thread got created in the admin section it automatically subscribed me to the thread. Any way to stop auto subscribing users to that thread I mean its in a forum they don't have access to. So to them it may seem broken.
Not that I know of as that gets based off of their profile options via the usercp on their thread subscription options

[infnity8x3]

Thanks! for the quick reply. Great mod looking forward to version 2.0

Hi,

I applied the mod to my forums but the form does not show.

If the user has not enough post, i see the message he can't apply
If i disable the tool so we don't hire new people, i see the message fine
If i enable hiring, the form is "not" loaded...

What could cause this? See here... (i enabled guest application with 0 posts)

I'm getting "Sorry, you do not have enough posts to apply"

[Hi-Jack]

Sorry, i keep trying to install it again but it does not help :-)
Now shoul dbe a good time to check... thx

As said, you can see the messages when disabled or not enough post, but you never see the forum... (using 3.8.4 with vbadvanced)

Please use Deejie / Pikachu2002 as login, it's a test account

[Hi-Jack]

Never mind, i fixed it. It was due to integration of the left side bar that the form did not work anymore... Now it is fixed... enjoy

[HMBeaty]

Ok, good to know you got it working :) Thanks

Create a thread
Would you like to create a new thread when an application is submitted?
This is set to Yes


Forum ID to create new threads in
Enter your Forum ID number here for the forum that you would like to create a new thread in when a new staff application has been submitted
I entered the the ID of an existing forum.



There is nothing to be moderated in ACP > Moderation > Moderate Threads




When an application is submitted, I do receive the email notification.


So why doesn't a new thread get created?

[HMBeaty]

Double check to make sure you have entered the correct number for your forum id (for example: yoursite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36; 36 being your forum id (the ONLY thing you enter in that field is 36))

You may PM me AdminCP access if you need to

[TheInsaneManiac]

Does this have multiple staff apps? I would like to have a separate application for Admins and Mods, so when the topic is posted the title could be [Mod] or [Admin].

Yes, everything was double-checked before I asked for help. :) But this is on a test board with a number of other add-ons I am trying. I installed your staff app on my live board to see what happens, and it works fine. So all I need to do is find out which of the other add-ons may be interfering, and make sure it's resolved before installing it on the live board.

When I find out, I will post back here in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

No, this is one single application

[DiverTree]

Threads are being posted but they show up as "moderated" they require approval...

Is there any way to have them posted without this problem?

Thanks in advance

That is not a feature in this modification. You need to check the permissions you have set for that forum/usergroup that the application is being posted in.
im having the same issue, and its a pain in the butt. when a user submits the application, i have it set to post a thread in a private moderators only forum. the thread is posted, but its put into a moderation queue. i cant give users access to the forum. is there no way to work around this so that the thread needs no moderation?

[Poppet]

What a cracking (excellent) mod this is, well done. It works really well.

[creative-friend]

Thanks Alot For This Mate....

[TheInsaneManiac]

No, this is one single application
Shame. I'll tag this for now until multiple apps are available.

[Farman]

I've installed the mod, but got 1 problem. I also want to recruit members for GFX Team, so is there any way I can add another field for GFX Team?


Thank you

[maddoghalo1]

Is there a way so we can use the staff application in a wider type of a way. I run a gaming community and I would like to use this as well for people to apply for administration on different game servers and stuff instead of just Mod, super mod, and admin.

[HMBeaty]

Farman and maddoghalo1, to change/add positions you want your users to apply for, you would have to edit the following lines in the template staff_app (x2)



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



More specifically, you would change value="whatever here" and change the phrases ($vbphrase[usml_staffapp_mod]), or hardcode your options in there versus using phrases

[rammieone]

Suoerb mod installed on 3.8.4 patch level 1 and working a treat thanks!!!

[Farman]

Thanks for helping, but I can't get it to work. I made the changes in staff_app template but not appearing in the Settings nor the Form itself. and I can't find staff_app (x2) template.

Heres the code:


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



I also made a new phrase with the following details:



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




But not worked...

[HMBeaty]

Since you added this...


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

Did you add an option in your vBulletin options to turn this on/off? If not, remove that if condition and it should work

And "staff_app (x2)" means, you need to edit the template (staff_app) 2 times, because these options appear twice in that template

[Farman]

How to add an option for this in Vbulletin options to turn it off/on? I've just edited the staff_app (x2) template

[giraffesyo]

Is it possible to add prefixes to the thread creation depending on which position you are applying for?

[BlownFiveLiter]

Installed. :up:

[karlm]

Can the options for positions be changed?

e.g. I won't be accepting 'admin' applications ever, as I handpick them myself. But, I'd like to able to offer various positions (links editor, forum1 mod, forum2 mod, forum33 mod, blog moderator, etc.)

This would be great.

Can more than the three be listed? If so, could you explain how 4+ would be added?

And thank you for directing me to the previous post, much appreciated :D

[jaderollie]

ive installed,
i also see the "Quick Links" menu in the navbar, so where does a user press to get the app going?
i can see its there, but theres no way we can click it lololol :)
its also looks a darker color to the rest of the links in there too

so any ideas why its a solid link thats un-clickable???

[karlm]

The 'purchase branding free option' takes you to a page that forces you to register to see the contents... I'm sure this is an error and not intentionally forcing new signups, yes?

[jaderollie]

i just re-started from beginning, and it went in the second time thanks ;)
also the emails work perfect ( i use msn hotmail ), so no problems there thanks

im now interested in this post to make extra job apps :-
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1908087&postcount=221

but where is :-
staff_app (x2)

im new to this, so laymen terms please, and is there a certain line i need to add it below??
all help on this would be great, i just want a position that gives users a rank that want to be staff, and they can be picked for staff in the future depending on the way they perform in the forums

i think there should be an option to turn these 4 items off, as they can be not needed really
also users dont want this info posted to public :-

Hi. I really want to use this for my site however I am trying to use this so people can apply for membership for my community and therefore I would want/need to change some of the questions the thing asks. Example; I don't need the parts that ask for like "What are your forum skills" or "Do you know the backend to vbulletin."

Is there any way to customize what kind of questions to ask?

And I am not really heavy into coding so if it involves like mass coding or changes then I can't do it :(

Thanks for your help!

read above in the post ;)

[n00bl3t]

That is just for changing the actual positions people are applying for.

I tried editing the staffapp.php form and also the template and when I saved it and refreshed the page; no changes occured. :confused:

[cozmin]

I want the same answer, how can i edit some questions, remove or add questions.

Yes; this mod would be used a lot if it could be easily configured and changed. Maybe his next version possibly? I hope so ^^

[cozmin]

But i've seen this mod on another forum, they got other questions. so it's possible but my question is how ?

edit: i think that forum use http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=201097

[NP Carling26]

Hi. I have this installed on a forum I am an administrator on. It is an excellent mod and works nice. But, my only problem is, I have the forum where all apps go to in my "Staff section" and ll the posts are therefore moderated, which only allows admins and super mods to view them. Any way to prevent them from being moderated posts?

[BrightStar]

Hiya, is it possible to have vbulletin 4 version please?

[ctrlbrk]

HMBeaty,

Nice job on the mod. It's obvious you spent a lot of time with everything, put together a nice readme, etc. I'll buy it when it goes to 1.4.0 with the options you mentioned it will have.

But, I really dislike the "backdoor" thing where it sends you an email when someone installs the mod. It's backdoor because I didn't know about it. If I had known about it I wouldn't care, but I dislike things sending emails and such without my knowledge. Sure, I could be expected to read every line of php code, but I guess I usually trust people who have high marks on vb.org.

I just double checked the top summary section of this thread, as well as the bundled readme file, just to make certain you didn't give notice about this -- and I can't see where you did.
