I am being stupid, but where does the complete form data live?

The raw form logs are stored within the database tables. The front end can be viewed in the "Form Logs" area if you've enabled group permissions and form permissions for viewing logs.

I spoke to him in PM about this. He was under the impression this App worked similar to google forms to accumulate data in to spreadsheets.

Is it possible for a Field Type* (select box) to auto append new selections, as a database record grows?

@Mike John amazing applicaiton, but any way to make the Logs show the breaks (<br>)? Or format it nicer?

You could try adding the below custom css inclusion to that page only.

p span {
display: table;
}

As in new field options for the select? Where would the source database be?

Unless there was any changes in IPB4 recently, there should be a line break between fields already. Could you post a sceenshot of what your talking about? Not quite sure what's happening here.

I fixed it with CSS xD It was unorthodox but it worked!

From what I can gather, he might be logging paragraphs from text editor and they don't properly display line breaks maybe? Hence my fix which would space things out a bit more on the page.

I personally don't have any issues with my logs, but I don't log paragraphs, just things like IP, username and form type etc.

can you add a prefixed-tag support to your From builder?

Hi Mike,

I upgraded my site to IPB 4 and upgraded the forms application accordingly. I'm able to modify existing forms just fine, but trying to create a new form is returning the following error:

Quote

INSERT INTO `form_forms` ( `options`, `pm_settings`, `email_settings`, `topic_settings`, `position` ) VALUES ( NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL )
IPS\Db\Exception: Column 'options' cannot be null (1048)

#10 /home/darkstar/public_html/forums/admin/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run()
#11 {main}

With my limited technical expertise I assumed this had something to do with 'null' values, so tried putting some throwaway text into each possible field when building a form, but still no luck.

Any thoughts?

Have you tried running the support tool in AdminCP to try repair your database errors?

If you remember what version of the Forms app you previously used. That would be helpful in making sure this was patched for future upgraders.

Thank you for helping. I've added a little something to your account.

I guess I do not see how this would be used.
I create forms for specific purposes so I don't see why one would need prefix or tag support for a form.

I would much rather see a way to export the results of a form to say an Excel spreadsheet format. This would allow use of this great tool for survey like forms that results can be talled from.

With your Forms if I have CAPTCHA enabled on my forum to have a form built and say don't include captcha?

I could see this based upon if you want to use search by a tag or something along those lines.

Captcha right now can only be enabled/disabled per member group. I assume you are suggesting this be possible per form as well?

[PedroNL]

Yes that would preferred...

[PedroNL]

Also another thing when we are making forms and e-mail is being sent is their a way where we could what is requested in the e-mail field.  Please see what is being requested in the e-mail field.  When I put it in "receivers" and hit save and then come back into the form the field ,"field_value_244" is not there.   Please let me know.

I'll note this for the next version.

The receivers field does not support the "quick tags". I'll have to think about it but I don't believe this is something I can easily support.

[PedroNL]

Mike I am sure I would be willing to throw some extra dollars your way if you could accomplish this.

That wasn't really a concern for me and can provide a file patch if technically possible. But from my brief view, it looks like it's a bit more complex to achieve and I'd need more time before I could work on this. That applies for new features or custom requests both alike.

[PedroNL]

Mike,

 

I understand and appreciate it and look forward to your feedback.

I would like to see prefixes or tags also... 

 

 

One reason why I would like to see prefixes or tags is the reason that when I have a forum that makes a post and the forum normally requires you to select a prefix or tag to post then the Form that post that section will not have a prefix or tag because it won't inherit this from default.

Could I have this a custom build and I pay for this to be built int?

I can do this as a custom request but will need at least a month before can start on anything. I'm working on bug fixing updates now and I will see if I can include this in the next version easily or not.
