I understand the desire for this feature, but it seems like a whole lot of effort for minimal gain. Unless I actually saved the answers to a data table (which I'm not doing right now, since it's a one-and-done forms mod, not a specialized CMS), I'd have to parse it all out to determine what answers were provided in order to put them back into the form again. If the BBCode formatting is implemented, I'd have to check against that to determine where the answer actually is in the post. It seems like a lot of work when really they could just submit a 2nd form and you'd just go off of that instead of the original, right? or maybe I'm missing something...Mess wrote:If you click edit on your "application" post it would go back to the actual form. Which made it much easier for my users to keep the form answers updated.
Yeah, that's because I had to actually submit the post as a parsed post for it to show up correctly, due to issues I was having with getting it to work with BBCode. On the site we use it regularly I have a WYSIWYG editor so we never really noticed this issue. I'll see if I can get a real fix to it done.idontwantausername wrote:Thanks for this MOD it's great and works very well.
Just a quick thing, the posts are formatted fine, but when I click edit on a post submitted from a form, the formatting is lost. This includes the bold and italic text, the spacing, and the bullet points. Any way to correct this?
Thank you.

[Edit] Actually on 2nd look, looks like I did fix that and the newest version has the BBCode if you edit it. Try getting the newest version, and let me know if it is still happening.

I have a user called "bot" which sends out welcome PMs, mass PMs, ban notifications etc automatically. It would be awesome if it would also post selected forms too.

Take a look at this: https://www.phpbb.com/mods/opening/Stingraynut wrote:WOW this is what I've been looking for, took me a few days of searching and it seems many others want this form to post facility too.
I haven't installed a mod before.
I read through three help pages https://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/how-to-install-mods/ and https://www.phpbb.com/mods/installing/ and http://phpbbandbbcodes.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=158
It looks like a lot of work and another steep learning curve.
I work a lot with Wordpress, where plugins self install, ditto Joomla.
I use Cpanel to upload/download and edit - quicker than ftp
I know HTML & CSS well, can edit PHP and JS, haven't done much with MySql except replace MF5# passwords
Please could someone give me specific instructions for installing this mod ?
If I have to do MySql queries, then I'm not asking for the whole list, just where the instructions are'
ie a simplified list of steps to take.
My plan is to have the form as a sticky at the top of a topic. When the form is submitted it becomes the top post under that topic.
Hope someone can help.
