First, I beg your pardon if my ask was already done on this forum, I searched but I didn't find a good answer and some links to other posts no longer work.
I'd want to know if it's possible to automatically create a new article using form fields. I created a form to insert an article front end side and I want to use all the form field to automatically create a new article, without administrator intervention. I read that it's possible to use Custom Code action in On submit event, but it's possible to automatically create a new article?
Is there a tutorial that explain how to do it?
I'm completely new on Joomla and php programming, so I'm searching for something complete and easily undertood... if it exists!
Thanks...

Hi greendragon,
You can simply use the "submit article" action in v4, its under the Joomla actions section!

Hi Max,
I tested Submit article action, and it works perfectly. However, I need to get some form fields and use it create an article with a fixed layout. I thought to use Custom code to access fields and use it in the right way. Is it possible to do? Is it possible to automatically create article through the code in Custom code?
Thanks

Hi green dragon,
Yes you can do that. Add a Custom Code action before the Submit Action with some code in it like this:
Then add new_article in the introtext box of the Submit Article action.

<?php
$form->data['new_article'] = "
<p>Some text here</p>
<p>Some more text {$form->data['some_input_name']} more text</p>
<p>Even more text {$form->data['another_input_name']}</p>
";
?> Then add new_article in the introtext box of the Submit Article action.
