Hello!

I have an issue about Submit Article.

My form contains many fields that i want to apply into the Full text field. Because the Submit Article Action have a simple structure, i want to ask if there is an way to Submit trought Custom Code, that so i can exact format of the article look (like creating email template with email action)?

I really hope that there is an way for doing this.

Thanks!

Hi vbarlakoski ,

Yes - no problem. Use Custom code to create all of the parameters needed for the article record in the $form->data array and the use DB Save action to create the article in the #__content table.

Thanks Bob!

I am searching the forum for similar problem to get the code, but i cant find any. Is there any tutorial for this, for folks like me, that dont know php very well?

Hi vbarlakoski,

There have been a couple of threads on this a while back - see this post about including an image in an article. it can be adapted for almost any structure.

What are you trying to build?

Hello Bob!

I am trying to compile FULL TEXT from more than one field, it the way that i can make pre-formated article, exact field info to be shown in exact place with exact formating that i will give in the custom code action.

As i mentioned, something like creating e-mail template in e-mail action.

Thanks!

Hi vbarlakoski ,

OK, that much I'd already worked out. Please see the post I linked to.

Hi Bob!

That post leaded me to:

<?php
jimport( 'joomla.filesystem.file' );
$uri = JFactory::getURI();
$titlez = $form->data['input_text_3'];
$ref = $form->data['input_text_24'];
$desc = $form->data['input_textarea_5'];
$personal = $form->data['input_checkbox_group_8'];
$day = $form->data['input_checkbox_group_6'];
$till = $form->data['input_checkbox_group_7'];
$money = $form->data['input_text_10'];

$formated = "<p><strong>Ref. No.</strong></p>".$ref." <p>".$desc."</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Тип заетост</strong></p><p>".$day."</p> <p></p><p><strong>Срок на заетост</strong></p><p>".$till."</p><p></p><p><strong>Ниво на квалификация</strong></p><p>".$personal."</p><p></p><p><strong>Заплата</strong></p><p>".$money."</p>";

From here i am not pretty sure what shoul i do? Can i ask for little help?

Hi vbarlakoski,

$form->data['fulltext'] = $formated;

I feel my self like i'm real stupied! I can't understand how to make it works. Maybe there is some tutorial about this issue? It will be very helpful!

Hi gandgy,

What exactly is the problem?

Bob

I solved it)) Problem was that - the fulltext didn't return a value. But i found this topic - http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=5&t=15268&p=106063&hilit=article#p106063 - there is a solving of my problem! Thank you for such perfect component!
