how to use data to create an article

hello friends,
i am looking for something that can create an article using the data on my form. i mean when user clicks new article or new entry or something like that,a form will be loaded and after filling the form and clicking submit button form will appear as an article, and i will be able to publish it whereever i want.

is that possible? and how ?

thanks for you helps.

Hi tunjay,

Please check out the SubmitContent form from the Downloads area which does exactly that.

Hi Bob, thank you so much.

i am so so sory, but i could not find how to use submitcontent.cfbak

so i have downloaded it but, i am just looking at that file.

where should i put it, i tried to install as a component but i didnt work.

what do i have to?

Hi again Bob,

i thnk i got it, i copied that codes inside of the file in a new form. then i loaded the page, but it is the almost the same think with article submisson layout.

i did not mean exactly this type of submit. i want to submit the datas of my form as an article. but i dont know how to?

Hi tunjay,

The cfbak file is a form, use the Restore icon in the Toolbar to re-load it into the Forms Manager.

This will submit the content of the form as an article, if you want to create a particular structure of the content then edit the form to give you the fields that you want - then use the OnSubmit Before box to join up the form fields into the body of an article that can be submitted.

Hi Bob, thank you again, thats wonderfull. i think i started to understanding some. i tried to restore and it worked. i tried to submit and it worked too. now,

But when i click the "Wizard Edit", it says "Sorry but this form was not created using the wizard" so i am not good at html, or php as well. so do i have a chance to edit this form in another way, with anothor software. can you give me a proposal ?

Hi tunjay,

the form will not be edited in wizard because it was created using an earlier version!

try any HTML editor like dreamweaver or MS frontpage or any free one, OR understand how it works and create a new form in wizard and add the necessary code to make it do the same function, that's simple!

Cheers

Hi Max, thank you for your suggestion, and especially do i need to look into "onsubmit before email" or "onsubmit after email" or anywhere else? because now im trying to create a new form, and i will start to trying for craeting an article with that form.

Hi tunjay, if you are going to insert articles into the database then you need to look at the submitcontent form and see how its working and do the same😉 you must be careful with this!

Max
