[Solved] Form data directly into an article

naghris 17 Dec, 2008
Hi,

another tricky need:

A custom add/order and advertisement -system with chronoforms:

Step1) A form with "title" and "text" and a dropdown "type/category". --> submit
Step2) the user is presented a prepay summary, generates a bank reference number and all other data. Email is sent to the admin with the ad-data, sender-data and bank reference. Another email is sent to the email-address given in the form, including the payment details.

This is all done already.

What would be the ultimate goal:

The data "title" and "text" would be inserted as a basic Joomla!-article, into the category selected in the dropdown "type/category". And as unpublished of cource. This way the admin can check, when the payment is ready, just publish the advertisement-article or edit and publish.

I have made components myself and php/mysql is familiar. Does somebody know a framework method to insert the article easily, so I would not have to use custom mysql to do this?

Thanks

Hi naghris,

No need for any custom code here, check how the submitcontent pack is built, that's what you need, get it from Downloads/Chronoforms applications/ from the site here!🙂
