Hi I'm setting up a blog directory site and I want to design a form that can let only registered users submit their blog. After submission a page will be automatically created for the user with their submission details. Is that possible with ChronoForms and Joomla 1.5?
Also if anybody knows an extension that will like, "power search"? I'm going to create a checkbox list for categories of their blog. I want the "Search" extension to search the checkbox ONLY. Or, a tag cloud (that shows the checkbox options) will do just fine.

Hi gameboyz,
It's pretty simple to add some conditional code to make your form available only to registered users. You'll find examples in the forums here. Max also has some code that will post form data to content pages. I suspect that you might need to write some extra code to format and present the data.
Alternatively you could use a completely different approach and use ScribeFire for contributors to add content from their browsers.
No idea about searches and tags I'm afraid.

Hi gameboyz,
look at Downloads/CF applications/ here for a form to add articles to your site!

Oh dear I'm totally new to programming though I plan to learn. Have no idea how to write some extra code. And okay, I'll try searching in the forums for the conditional code.

Okay thanks!
Hi gameboyz,
see my example, and searching the forums for "making the form for online users" will sure bring many results where you can find this issue already solved many times!

I designed my form and set Enable Data Storage to yes and data stored in jos_content .
This is my form url.
However upon submission, I get an error message: Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/gameboyz/public_html/sgbloggers/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 538
This is my form url.

more than the connection is needed, load my form for submit content and look at the code fields for values needed!

Okay I'm guessing it's the form code>form html right? Is it the
<div class="form_item"><div class="form_element cf_textbox"><label class="cf_label">Oh by the way, I love your support response. I posted many topics at joomla forums and I got nothing. Zero. But here, everyday I can look forward to more response from you guys. Great work! 😀
Hi gameboyz,
and the "onsubmit code" box at the "form code" tab too, you will have to look at the code there, your fields names should match the table fields names too, I suggest you analyze the submitcontent form code very well first then move with yours!

I see what you mean.
<?php
$_POST['catid'] = '32';
$_POST['id'] = '';
$_POST['sectionid'] = '9';
$_POST['state'] = '0';
$_POST['created'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
?>
Hi gameboyz,
$_POST is an array that contains all of the form results. The individual results are accessible from the array elements e.g. $_POST['field_name']. I haven't been following this thread but this looks like article metadata - 32 & 9 identify the category and section, state = 0 means unpublished.

Exactly as Bob said, we set here the essential article data which has not been set in the form itself, your form fields names also should be the same as the articles(content) table fields names!

Guys thank YOU so much. Finally after several days of posting, I figured it out! Great support! Now all I have to do is find the code that allows only registered users to submit. I'll try searching in the forums.
:D
Thumbs up!
:D
Thumbs up!
I can't find the conditional code to make it available only for registered users😟
Other then that it's all perfect. SH404SEF URLs configured (Don't know how I managed it, previously the URLs begin with "component/" and not index.php; but suddenly it just worked) and everything done.
