Simple Forms [Paid] [Deleted]

Ah, ok. Well have to wait then.
For the next release it could be great to have a time field besides the date field or a simple way to let enter the time.

We are pretty much feature set for 2.1.9, but I will keep it in mind.

I have this addon and works like a charm

Is there a way to exclude ad_above_content on the form respond page? (not show a banner at the top).


And if you have the time, I have some other layout related questions:

Spoiler: questions

1) Is it possible to change the order of the answers in the destination thread, so that they are different from the order of the questions? I also want to leave out some answers/questions because they are already shown in the title.
2) Is there an option to make attachments required, and have a separate field instead of the upload button at the bottom of the form?
3 ) Is it possible to change the ratings to images/stars?
4) Is it possible to change the layout of the destination thread, for example, float the attachment to the right side of the post, move some answers so they are next to each other...

Can you elaborate on the form respond page? Which page is that? The form itself or the page you're taken to post submission.

As for your questions:

1. You would have to use the template section in the destination. You can put them in any order you want, but you're more responsible for putting the necessary variables and values in it if you add new fields, etc.
2. Yes, you can require attachments on the main form options page and no it's just the upload button, consistent with XenForo's user experience.
3. Not at the moment, no. You might be able to play around with the template field and conditionals if you want to get crazy.
4. Not really, the destination thread is just a normal thread in XenForo. It has no different look and feel from a thread posted manually.

The form itself. I will try the suggestions, thank you.

As for removing the ad_above_content, you will probably have to do a template modification to the PAGE_CONTAINER template and wrap it in a conditional so it only shows on pages that do not use the form_respond template.

Having an issue where trying to setup a new form and use the "Replace Create New Thread button" with the form. Have checked the box, selected the right form and put in a title and save it. Thing is that the it doesn't save. The box becomes unchecked just like we never did it to begin with.

Please open a support ticket so we can investigate your issue in greater detail.

Request Feature: Autofill Username in Form Field
I just thought of a new feature that you could add to Simple Forms. Maybe you had the idea already and I think it would be a great addition. Basically what I was thinking of is to add the feature of XenForo to autofill a Username that exists already on the forum in a form field. Like the feature to tag someone with the "@Username" function.

Would you mind making this suggestion on our forums?

We like to keep everything in one spot

Has development of this product stopped? Was a way to embed forms into xenforo pages ever implemented or has anyone found a way to do so?
Cheers

If you link to this form from within a page node, or if the link is hardcoded into a xenforo template then you can get the functionality you want by passing the value into the form via querystring. append ?username_fieldid={$user.username}

Not sure that's the right template syntax to inject the username but you get the idea

Nope, we're still here. We are working on our new product while collecting/fixing various bug reports from 2.1.8. 2.1.9 will mostly be bug fixes, not features. That feature has been requested, but it's not something high on the roadmap at the moment.

This has been requested a few times and is something higher on the roadmap.

I think the first feature is more important functionally to be honest and it got several +1's at the time. #justsaying

 

[Rob]

Actually LP-John.... I'd settle for an HTML header - this would achieve the same for my implementation.

Keep in mind that features are also placed in our roadmap based on complexity of implementation and other features we have on the roadmap and their level of complexity. If you have three feature requests that have a high level of complexity it would be best to split those into different release to accommodate additional smaller features/bug fixes.

If there is a feature you need in the immediate that we're unable to help with, you're more than welcome to seek a developer to create custom functionality for you. We've made Simple Forms fairly extendable for developers.

Hello,
Do you have any idea of support the field_value data store for other own table stuff additionally than now destination. In this case I hope the stored in field_value as column may changed to row field type.

Could you add it?

Sorry, but I'm not quite understanding what you're looking for. Do you have an example?

 

[lsxforo]

As I know the input data being stored to the field_value in response_field table.

Look at the table that having the data,

response_id, field_value

response_id     field_value
1                        melon
2                        apple
3                        banana

Currently your entire data from input form is stored likely columns by entry as see.

It changed if you can we may expect the table type to be row array.

response_id, fruit1, fruit2, fruit3, more....
1                     melon,  apple, banana, ....
2                     melon,  apple,  banana, ....
3                     melon like, apple like, banana like, .....

I manipulated the data properly a little bit after getting from the field_value and tried to change the table type to row arrangement. But this case seems to me not suitable what I want to handle it for future.
So, I have to design my own form and DB structure.

But, I think that your form became more very useful and nice to easy expand for more advanced tools if the another destination of store could be supported.
