HI,
I am looking out for a plugin which creates at textbox/ radio button / checkboxes etc. As I am new to E107 I am not able to find any relevant plugin though I know how to develop it. I want it such that when the user selects it is stored in the database and as well creates a thread in a forum.Can Anyone help me on this?

Hi @pratic3558,

Welcome to e107, there is a plugin available with all the features you require plus alot more.

Check out [-link-]

*Note, for some reason its not appearing on the e107.org downloads section (possibly because its outdated / insecure).
That said ive been using this plugin on about 10 sites for the last 5 years with no problems.

Version 0.47 of the Survey plugin has an exploit in it.

See here: [-link-] (ctrl+f type Survey).

Hey Thanks a lot for your response, But I tried downloading it, and it says that it might be out of date and to download it from this site. Are there any other alternatives?

Hmm thats food for thought, I wasnt aware Survey was on the badlist too

Thats another plugin thats in serious need of an update / fix.

@pratik3558
As far as im aware there is no direct alternative to the Survey plugin.

How complex is the form you require? it may be something you could do "standalone" outside of e107 as a last resort if there is no alternative available.

Hmm "standalone"? You mean to say is that I should develop it on my own using my own databases servers, technologies etc? Am I right? Let me know if I am wrong

If you're semi-fluent with coding, you're welcome to take a look at my avalance plugin (which is not released, yet). It allows you to create an application with many form types and combinations.

It's not as robust or sync'd in with other things as the Survey plugin, but it's something to check out.

A previous version could be just as exploitable as the current version. Just so you're aware.

@Cprl.Rst: Thanx a lot. I just downloaded it.

@Septor: Yes, Sure! I will surely take a look at it.
Also, Otherwise what I am thinking is to develop a plugin on my own. Or Are there any other alternatives which I can do like developing the form based application on my own and keeping it as a separate link or something similar to that

I wanted to post the survey answers in a forum and then the person who views the answers will create answers from those and that will be visible to only those persons who submitted the answers

The exploit exists in the version Cprl.Rst posted.

Change line 192 in survey.php to:

$sql -> db_Select("survey","*","survey_id=".intval($_POST['survey_id']));

If someone that has access to the 0.47 version of the plugin can send me a PM I can edit this to include a fix for that (v0.47) as well. At least then we can get this fix added to the BPL.
