Also, I can't see the form logs at all. I go to it and there's no way to view what someone submitted... Just that they submitted it. When setting up your forms, be sure to look at the "Quick Tags" button. This contains all the various options you have for placing form and field data into a newly created topic. For example the {field_list} tag will display a list of the forms fields and the values submitted. You can also display specific fields like {field_value_X}, x being the id of the field. That tag displays that specific value instead of the entire list. Link to comment
Hunter Lyons Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Oh! So, if I for example did: "Have you read and do you agree to our rules? {field_name_1}" -in the topic content area of setting up the form, it would display whatever they put for whichever is quick tag 1?

Hunter Lyons Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 After messing with it some, you definitely can, Mathew. Just do as Mike John explained above! Link to comment

Do you have all those questions setup as fields in your form? If so, just use the {field_list} quick tag in your topic template and that will display a list of all the fields and there values for you. PM me acp login details if you need further help setting this up. On 18/3/2016 at 9:33 AM, Lyonharted said: Is there any way to pm the user with a link to the topic that the form generates? No not currently, this loosely ties into the same issue in my Auto Welcome app. When I find a solution there, I'll be including the fix in the next version of the Forms app as well. Link to comment

Check what CHMOD permissions you have for your applications folder. Check with your host that it supports the PHP Phar extension. IPB4 uses that to extract and import the application files.

Bendensin Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Some feedback... This app is excellent! I am running a site which gives support to foreign residents and tourists, and have lots of members who provide commercial services to them such as translations, assistance in getting residence and work permits, legal assistance, etc. With this, besides offering a general contact form, I am also able to consolidate all of their services into one place as if it is all a single staff. A lot of the services offered are regional, so I've asked Mike John to see if he can categorize the services. Then we can offer support forms first by service category, and then by city category. I don't know if that will be offered as a part of an upgrade or custom work, but regardless, the forms system is a godsend for us. And a question. I'd like to use the forms app as the only method of communication for everyone. But there are still two other contact methods, one through the default contact system, and one through Nexus. Has anybody been able to disable these, or link the default "Contact Us" to one of the forms in the Forms app? I know this topic isn't about Nexus, but I am wondering if anybody has been able to disable that contact method as well. And a suggestion. I read other posts but I am not sure if it's the same thing I need. It would be great if the forms could be configured like a regular content page. For example, for a legal services form, I could put a short bio of the lawyer who provides the services, and even a photo, floated right or left, or other things that I can do in other parts of IP Community. At the moment there are "form rules" I believe, which have a forced styling with a blue background. It would be great if it could be more versatile, allowing me to add anything I want to the form above the form fields. Edited April 18, 2016 by Bendensin Link to comment
ADKGamers Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 @Mike John I've upgraded my site to 4.1 and the Forms Application is still showing in the out of date applications section and when I go to "upload a new version" I get "We could not find the application you were attempting to update" Should I just upload the new version and it'll see that there's info in the database, or what should I do here? Thanks! Link to comment

I know this topic isn't about Nexus, but I am wondering if anybody has been able to disable that contact method as well. I haven't paid much attention to this in the past as not a big Nexus user but I'll add it as something to look at next version. Shouldn't be an issue to override the default contact link and point them to the Forms app. 2 hours ago, ADKGamers said: Should I just upload the new version and it'll see that there's info in the database, or what should I do here? That would cause quite a few issues as it wouldn't run the upgrade routine then. IPB 3.4 to 4.x instructions can be found here. But it looks like your already following that. Do you see an entry for the Forms app in your core_applications database table? Just to rule out the obvious, you had the Forms app for IPB 3.4 and not the Contact System app?

Open your applications folder. Do you have a folder created called "form" in there? Can you paste the last part of the url you see when choosing the upgrade option? What's set for the "appKey" parameter? If your database table has an entry, check if there are any cache issues. See ACP > System tab > Support > " Something isn't working correctly. ". See if your getting any errors rebuilding your cache, it might be that an app is preventing the application cache rebuilding. ADKGamers 1 Link to comment

Actually missing the other ones too for the other applications that aren't able to be upgraded either 2. This is all that shows when I try to click the upgrade button ?adsess=02423b9c4f85a05ca5a84056bc8e73ca&app=core&module=applications&controller=applications Not sure if I should have said that it's under the "out of date applications" I'm not getting anything related to caching when I do "something isn't working correctly". There's stuff there for a deactivation plugin but nothing else that appears to be related to cache. Link to comment
ADKGamers Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 @Mike John talked with support and they said that they'd be unable to assist to see why that's happened. So where do we go from here? Link to comment
