One way to do this would be to allow users in user group A, which is linked to form group X, to have the ability to place any forms they create into form groups X, either at the time of creation or later on. Right now, I have to manually assign rights to each new form created by a user to every other user who needs access to it.</p> <p>Perhaps my request is too ambitious; I would certainly welcome any improvement to user management. I do think this should be a priority for the next major release. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/feature-request-improved-user-management-user-groups-and-form-groups#post-25155 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 04:53:27 +0000 christiansweatt 25155@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I would definitely support this feature request as well. As the Machform features continue to get better with each release, my 4-year institution is using Machforms more than ever. As a result, this can become quite a nightmare on the backend, and we're definitely seeing a greater need for more efficient user and forms management. Perhaps a nice release for the 5.0 version? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/invalid-argument#post-25154 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 03:16:53 +0000 HeuF 25154@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>When I edit my form I get the message:</p> <p>Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mywebsite/includes/view-functions.php on line 2154</p> <p>What does it mean? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/feature-request-improved-user-management-user-groups-and-form-groups#post-25153 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 01:41:29 +0000 williamansley 25153@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@WayneFusco: I'm glad you like the idea; I have to say that it's not original to me. To elaborate at bit, my institution is a two-year college in New York Sate in the US. Some financial aid forms (FA) and scholarship (SCHOL) forms have been converted into Machform forms. Some users need to see only FA forms, some need to see only SCHOL forms, some need to see both. If my idea were reality, then I would create FA and SCHOL user groups and form groups. All the FA forms would be placed in the FA form group, all SCHOL forms into the SCHOL forms group. The FA users group would be linked to the FA forms group and the SCHOL users group to the SCHOL forms group. Then, if I had a new user X who needed to see all of the FA froms, I just put X in the FA users group. If user Y needs to see the SCHOL forms, Y is put into the SCHOL users group. And if user Z needs to see forms from both groups, then Z is placed into both the FA and SCHOL user groups. If there are 50 FA forms and 10 SCHOL forms, you can see this would save a huge amount of time over individually assigning all of these forms to the three users. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/feature-request-improved-user-management-user-groups-and-form-groups#post-25152 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 18:10:44 +0000 WayneFusco 25152@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Awesome idea.. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-exception-swift_rfccomplianceexception-2#post-25151 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 18:06:42 +0000 helge 25151@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi, we are getting this error on some of our forms in our Machform version 4.3:</p> <p>"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Swift_RfcComplianceException' with message 'Address in mailbox given [{element_5}] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2.' in /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/Headers/MailboxHeader.php:352 Stack trace: 0 /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/Headers/MailboxHeader.php(264):<br /> Swift_Mime_Headers_MailboxHeader-&gt;_assertValidAddress('{element_5}') 1 /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/Headers/MailboxHeader.php(108): Swift_Mime_Headers_MailboxHeader-&gt;normalizeMailboxes(Array) 2 /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/Headers/MailboxHeader.php(65): Swift_Mime_Headers_MailboxHeader-&gt;setNameAddresses(Array) 3 /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/SimpleHeaderFactory.php(60): Swift_Mime_Headers_MailboxHeader-&gt;setFieldBodyModel(Array) 4 /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/SimpleHeaderSet.php(70): Swift_Mime_SimpleHeaderFactory in /var/www/app/skjemaker/htdocs/lib/swift-mailer/classes/Swift/Mime/Headers/MailboxHeader.php on line 352 "</p> <p>We found out that if we have a form where the email field is removed, and added again, the error message appears.<br /> Furthermore, we can find that the form is still connected the old email field (in our case the email field with name element_5, where the new email field is named element_6).<br /> The solution for us was to go to notifications, unclick the notification check-box, and then Save Settings.
