I just purchased "Forms" and have a few questions

[Gator]

- Is there any documentation on how they work?
- Even though I purchased the addon, when I go to the resource page for that addon, it asks me to pay again.
- Also, and most importantly, there is a licensing conflict between xenForo.com and snogssite.com websites.

Xenforo site states: "Lifetime for Xenforo 2.x" (implying that all versions in the 2.x series are covered)



Snogssite.com states: "Lifetime for XenForo versions listed above" (which is limited to 2.1+)
So by reading the snogssite.com licensing description, Xenforo 2.2 would not be covered. Could you please clarify?

Since Ozzy is not available at the moment, I'll answer.

There is no direct documentation. All of the settings for forms are fully commented and those comments explain what each setting does.

The purchase option is there because some people need multiple licenses for multiple forums. To download your current license click on your name in the upper right side of the site and select "Download my add-ons".



Unless Ozzy has changed something, 2.1+ refers to 2.1 and anything higher than that. So, 2.2 would be included provided it does not require a complete rewrite as was needed from 1.5 to 2.0 and again when enough changes were made for 2.1 to make it incompatible with 2.0. It boils down to when XenForo declares a XenForo version as End of Life, all add-ons here for a specific XenForo version will most likely follow and be declared End of Life. But again, that's up to Ozzy.

The XenForo information needs to be updated. 2.0 would not be included in the Lifetime support because it is already End of Life. Ozzy needs to do that, I can't access that any more since Ozzy now owns the rights to and supports the add-ons.

XF1 and XF 2.0 Add-ons End of Life

In keeping with XenForo itself, my XF1 add-ons are now in their End of Life cycle. The cycle matches XenForo 1.5 itself. Support for 1.x add-ons will continue until until May 31, 2019, but after this time no further maintenance releases are planned and I strongly suggest you upgrade to XF 2.1...

What are lifetime updates?

Also so far as I know, there is no XenForo 2.2 at the moment.

Thanks, Ozzy47, for responding to my post. Great add-on! I'm still learning about the many features it has to offer, and can't wait to build my first survey. I'm actually starting to get the hang of it.
