POezPublish - How to let users add content objects
text
Body
copied!<p>I have already asked this question on share.ez.no. But since I didn't get any question or answer back, I thought let me try my favorite site and see if it gets some traction.</p> <p>I want to accomplish following:</p> <p>I want to provide a link or button on simple article page. When user clicks that, it should take him to a form that lets him add a particular content object. This object is of a custom class (imaginary!) that I have already created.</p> <p>TestClass - FullName, EmailAddress.</p> <p>Later on, I would like to use these objects to display the list and also particular object on a single details page.</p> <p>My Questions based on lot of time I spent on documentation:</p> <p>1) What is it that I am looking for? Is it "Edit" or "Create"? Is "edit" also used for "create"??</p> <p>2) What kind of template should I use for "Create"? System or Node template?</p> <p>At one point it looked like Node. But basic node templates did not have anything for "create". There was a system template for "create".</p> <p>3) How do I create a link or button for letting the user click it and reach a web form to create the object / submit his entry? I was hoping the article editor should have this facility.</p> <p>(I do not want to use the ez toolbar.)</p> <p>4) I looked at Edit templates. Specially the one that is used by comment page from an article page. But I couldn't understand it. As the template uses object id. In case of adding a new object, there wouldn't be any object id. Is it? How does edit template works then?</p> <p>5) I also did not find a sinlge article that shows how to create such functionality which should be very common. I found one article on how to create forms, but that uses information collector functionality which is not what I am looking for. As it will let me see the results from setup section. I rather want to manage this information completely in the front-end.</p> <p>I hope someone can point me to a step-by-step article. Or clarify some of these questions. Eventually I am poised to write such article due to all the pain I have gone through happy.gif Emoticon</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
