That can't happen. It's not an option in the add-on.What I'd like to do is to display the form instead of the quick reply in order to force people to reply following a given format.
Ok, this is where you're confusing me. You cay you can't see the form anywhere.I can't see the form anywhere if I set it to appear as post into a thread, while it works great if I set it to appear as new thread.
This is the problem. You're confusing "Report in existing thread" and "Post thread button to form" and thinking they work similarly when they don't.Example n°2:
I set a Post Form: I select the Thread ID in which I want this post form to appear, but when I visit this thread, I can't find where this form can be filled. I looked in Quick-Reply, I looked in the "Reply" page of that thread, I looked after the first post of that thread (the author's post) to see if there's something related to fields, but I wasn't able to find it, hence I came up with the statement that post form isn't working for some reasons.
Is it possible, if a user doesn't meet the criteria, to NOT replace the Post Thread button with the Form button? It seems if a user doesn't meet the criteria, the form doesn't open, but the user still can't start a new thread because he'll still see the Form Button link, and not the Thread creation link in the button.
They are links in the moderation area for the post...I bought advanced forms addon for XF2 and did set everything up including permission but I cant find button to approve a application ! Where can I find that?
This is the problem. You're confusing "Report in existing thread" and "Post thread button to form" and thinking they work similarly when they don't.
Setting a form to post in an existing thread does not show the form in the thread (and it never has). The form itself would be available under the Forms navigation tab (if you meet the criteria for the form, and you have selected 'Form is active' for the form) and when it's filled out, the form would be posted in the existing thread.
The system is working as intended in this case.
However, the next release will allow for substituting a form in place of the quick reply box in a thread.
The whole point of using the "Post thread button to form" in a forum is so all threads have a given format with the same information. Allowing a user to post a differently formatted thread would defeat that purpose.

It really sounds like you need to separate your forms and just make them available for people to fill out. Then when they do that, the thread would be posted where you want it, or in the existing thread if you wanted that.

Be sure you have the "Can approve/deny submitted forms" permission set for your user or user group.
Also be sure you have "Include decision links" checked in the Promotion options for the form.

Yes to all of those except the last one. You can't add anything at the end of the post itself.HI Snog,
a few presale questions:
- can I set the form to open when clicking the New Thread button?
- possible to to add values from form to thread title after creating it? (I would like to have valus from date field and a few others to get inserted in the thread title automatically after form is submitted)
- can I add some default text to the end of the submited form after it's created? (that way all threads created by specific form will have the same text at the end of the post after creation and users can't edit it)
Thank you,
BassMan
I understood what you wanted after I re-read your original post.Thank you. For the last question, maybe I've written it wrong. Users can edit own posts, no problem with that, but can I add some text at the end of their post after submitting the form? I'd like to add some additional information in the post for all users to see after form submission.
