Has anyone ever figured out how (or even IF), you can save a field to a customfield in the user profile?

Thanks for your Good Mod.

How would I go about inserting the answers of a specific form into my database? (Not the default save to databse function)

[Elenna]

During a previous installation, I had a form set up to insert info into the database in the user profile field. If you want it inserted elsewhere, you'll need to modify as necessary. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend developing this on a test install because, if you don't know what you're doing, you can royally mess up your database.

Note: This may no longer work, try and use at your own risk.


You first need to get the question number where they enter in the info - you get this in the questions list (I believe) or by editing the individual question.

Then you need to find the corresponding user profile field ID. This is seen in the "name" field on the profile field manager (i.e. "field34").

There are two basic parts to this, the first is to make the field "play nice" with the database so it doesn't break any code. Replace the $q[###] with the appropriate question number. Repeat this line for each question you have that you want to insert into the database... change the $info# AND $query# so that each line (variable) is unique.

So for example, if I have a question #12 that I want put in user field 30, and a question #14 that I was in user field 33, this is what mine might look like:

Very helpful.

Thank you.

Elenna, thank you very much!! That worked out great! I did have to remove the back slashes where you were escaping the single quotes, but after that, all is good.

Thanks again, it's very much appreciated!

I need to put a link on a form to a URL. I am putting it in the "Title" "Description" on the form.
I am using BB Code. But this does not create a link the code just shows up. What am I doing wrong?

Aha, thanks! I fixed that in my post. That's what I get for copying from a old database backup. Glad to help!!

We used to do this for very complex database things (specifically messing with the Event Attendance tables) without giving members direct access to the queries. We even added in error checking (like "You aren't RSVPd for this event") by sometimes using variables and if statements.

I believe you need to use HTML to put links in forms, rather than BB Code (or it's reversed, and you need to used BB Code and not HTML).

What ever way you're trying now, use the other "code" type and all should be well!

First wanted to say I love the mod. It is helping me out a lot. I am having one problem with it. Whenever I copy a form and then use the copied form, I get the following error message:

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
Please complete both the subject and message fields.

There is nothing being left blank when I use my form, I am filling out all required information.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am using the newest version of VB. Thanks in advance for your help!

[Elenna]

Hi noob (boy, that sounds bad - sorry!),

When you copy the form, does it copy over the form "Title"? Sounds like you may have some of the settings blank?

[thenoob2012]

Thanks for your reply Elenna. Your post made me dig a little digger and I was able to figure it out.

After copying the form, at first glance everything was filled out like it was suppose to, including the title. I had it as q_1 (question 1)

The problem was that question 1 was no longer q_1 in the database for this form. It was q_13. Once I change that the title error was no longer a problem.

Another issued I had was when I was editing the copied formand selected all, it was not properly updating the database. I had to select each section individually for it to properly update.

Now that I know what I did wrong everything works great!

[thenoob2012]

I was wondering is it possible to set an option to where the user can select from a drop down menu which forum he would want the form to be submitted into as a thread?
