It's not only permissions that need to be set.Regardless, after sorting that issue out, I've now run into the issue of the form itself not popping up. When setting up the permissions to include myself, all groups, and all users to be able to view the sample form provided with the install, it redirects back to the main home page. I would like to note that the form page also returns the error 'You do not meet the criteria for any forms. No forms are available for you. '.
It's not only permissions that need to be set.
Go to the form in the admin area and scroll down to the bottom of the first tab for the form. You need to set the user criteria for the form. You also need to do the same thing for the form type if you're using a type.
Anyone that does not meet the criteria for BOTH the type AND form will be unable to see the form and will get the error you quoted. This includes admins.
Are we talking about the same permissions?Hello,
Every user has permission, the user criteria for the form has been set (all groups and also specified specific users for testing purposes). I’ve also tried removing the form type as a whole. I have tried this on more than one account, admin and default, both with same permissions.
Regardless of all of that, it still redirects me to the home page, and when I click on forms it says I do not meet criteria sadly.
Thanks
Are we talking about the same permissions?
You have the User group permissions in Admin->Groups & permissions->User group permissions where user groups need permission to view forms.
Then you have Admin->Advanced forms->Forms, edit form where you set the user criteria for the form itself.
If you are getting the message that "You do not meet the criteria for any forms..." then you quite simply don't meet the critera and you need to look closer at the criteria you have set. The criteria is a XenForo function that simply returns a Yes or No answer when it's checked. It's not something the forms system does.
If you could post the criteria you have set for the form and type, I MIGHT be able to see what the problem is. But, if it's something like post counts, etc. then only you can determine if that's the one not being met.
Are those suppose to be 2 separate names in the Specific users box?
If yes, you have a . between K and 1A-1 when it should be a comma.
And even if it's one name, that is the one that is preventing other users from viewing the form. You're telling XenForo that only that user or those users, AND that user (or users) is in one of the selected user groups can view the form. Remove the Specific users and everyone should be able to view the form.
Again, for people to be able to view the form, they must match ALL of the criteria you have set. It's not an either/or situation. It's all or nothing. That's how the criteria system works in XenForo and isn't controlled by the forms system.
The sample form is also tied to a sample TYPE. Edit the TYPE criteria (admin->Advanced Forms->Types) to be sure users can access the
TYPE on your site. Either that, or remove the Form type from the sample form itself.
If the form has a Form type (which the sample form normally does) and if a user does not match both the FORM criteria AND the TYPE
criteria, the user will be unable to view the sample form.
They will receive this message: "You do not meet the criteria for any forms. No forms are available for you."
And since you're using the sample form, be sure the form TYPE is set with the same criteria as the form. Or again, the user that doesn't match the TYPE criteria won't be able to access the form.
OR remove the form type from the form itself...

If a user does not match the criteria for both the TYPE AND FORM, they will not be able to view the form.
Don't confuse permissions with criteria. They are two different things.
EDIT: I've added information about the Form type that is included with the sample form to include the information about the TYPE criteria to the README.txt file in future releases.
This is what is added to the README.txt file in future releases:
Yes it could, but at what level a form would be used is up to you.Would Advanced Forms be suitable for this use, please?
Essentially, a forum in which each thread starts with a first post containing a company's contact information – name, address, website, etc etc.
Then each subsequent post in that thread would hold details of contacts our members have had with that particular company.
Many thanks!
That's exactly correct.If I create a detailed form for the first post in any thread (containing names, addresses & other fields) will subsequent posts be freeform, i.e. no fields? That would work for us.
In order for a user to attach files, make sure the user's user group permissions are set properly for the forum (node) the form is being posted in. This is in the question answer type notes:Hi! Great plugin, but there was a small problem.
I can not set user permissions for attachments
Only admin can attach files to the form.
All settings have already checked ... but I can not understand the reason
Please, Help!
