hi, i have a section where the user can send articles.
there is a way to send articles through a chronoform form?

sorry now i saw the submit acticle action🙂
but still a question:
i want to publish the article with a predefined template, exactly like the email send action.
can i do that?

i tried a custom code before submit article:

<?php $form->data['fulltext']= "age: ".$form->data[age]."<br>city: ". $form->data[city];
?>

doesnt work

Hi alfredopacino,

What do you see when you add a debugger? Your PHP is missing some 's, I'm not sure if they are needed though.

in the debugger i don't see any problem, but the custom code it doesn't take any effect.
in the submit article action i didnt set introtext and fulltext

Hi alfredopacino,

As you can see both introtext and fulltext are empty so something is wrong with your code.

And you will need to put an input name into at least one of the boxes in the submit article action.

Bob

i don't know what's wrong with my code..

introtext and fulltext are empty because i want fill them merging other text fields in custom code..
i guess i can't use $form->data['fulltext'] for defining its content, or maybe the sintax is wrong..
help me..

Hi alfredopacino,

introtext and fulltext are empty . . . that is the problem. If you want to fill them then you need to add Custom PHP to do that.

Neither $form->data['age'] nor $form->data['city'] exist in your form data, you need to correct that.
Have you fixed the quote problem?

Bob

thanks as always for support but the customer changed mind, i dont need this anymore.
sorry for bothered you.
anyway i guess it was just this silly mistake you saw:
$form->data['city'] not exist, there is a $form->data['citta'] (italian translation)

uhm i need this again..
i noticed if i move debugger before submit article $form->data['fulltext'] are correctly filled,
i guess i cant personalize the fulltext content with a custom code?

Hi alfredopacino,

Yes, of course you can, that's what this is all about. You use PHP in the Custom Code action to change or set the value of $form->data['fulltext']
