Content creation for dumb
sef6 - August 13, 2007 - 12:19
Hi, I want to make a website really easy to use for everybody...
My problem is for content creation. I want that people can add content as they want, and I think, the best thing could be an interface where the user create an empty page and add content with a button (like multiform for collecting data from users).
So an user create an empty page, with a title, a description, keywords etc. and add contents like pictures, videos, text, documents etc. and manage it at the main page.
Is that possible? (maybe with CCK ?)
Please helllllllllllpppp
Thanks a lot
Content creation for anyone
Maybe I'm missing something from your question, as it seems that allowing anyone to create content is one of the core features and purposes of a CMS like Drupal.
For example, say you give permission (using Access Control) for regular users – or even anonymous visitors, if that's what you want – to create Story nodes. Any user with that permission will see a "Create Content" link in the site's Navigation menu (which you would presumably have appear as a block). The user can click Create Content, then Story, and will be presented with a form to input the Story, complete with title, body, keywords, and whatever other features you allow for that level of user (again, via Access Control).
For more convenience, you could even place a "Submit A New Story" link (or whatever you want to name it) in the primary menu, or wherever you like, which would link to the URL for creating a Story. One click, and the user sees the Story creation form.
If that's what you're looking to do, you should have no trouble. But are you looking for something else?

Image assist
As for adding images, I recommend the module Image assist (http://drupal.org/project/img_assist). It provides a comfortable interface for adding images.
Just make sure you have an input filter that interprets image codes. (See admin > site configuration > input formats, after you've installed Image assist.)
Just start trying some stuff in Drupal, and you'll find it's all pretty easy.
Good luck!

A better description :
Thank you for your answer and all apologies, I wasn't really clear.
In fact, I need something like parent / children articles where children are displayed on the parent.
Something like that :
Creation of an empty page with title, description and keywords (tags etc.) :
._______________...........................something like Popup.............................._______________
|..My document...|...............................____________.................................|..My document...|
|.......................|..............................|...My media....|...............................| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
|.......................|..............................|..or text or.....|...............................||..My media......||
|.......................|.....Click add media.... |..document....|.Automatically added....||..or text or.....||
|.......................|...---------------->...|...................|.-------------------->.||..document.....||
|.......................|.....or add text etc.....|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|.to my document.........||...................||
|.......................|....................................................................................||_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _||
|.......................|....................................................................................|.......................|
|______________|.....................................................................................|______________|
then the author can add an other kind of node, like book :
_______________
|..My document...|
| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
||..My media......||
||..or text or......||
||..document.....||
||....................||
||_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _||
|.......................|
| _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
||..My book.......||
||....................||
||_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _||
|.......................|
|______________|
Is it possible ? (it could be really easy to use and just imagine a module where you can organize children by drag and drop... (like igoogle with gadgets)).
Thank you...
Popup windows to input node content?
So, instead of having users go to a usual node submission form, you want to have a popup window appear for easier input of node content? Is that correct?
If I have that basic part right, I still don't know exactly what you envision; is there an example on an existing site (whether Drupal or not) where we can see your ideal system in action?
In any case, I did a big search for modules related to content creation / input, and I found the following that *might* be of interest to you:
nodeformpopup
http://drupal.org/project/nodeformpopup
I'm guessing that this is the closest to what you're looking for; the description sounds like it.
Form Block
http://drupal.org/project/formblock
Maybe allows easy creation of new nodes, via blocks on the main page? Doesn't sound exactly like what you're looking for, but could be a substitute?
Editview
http://drupal.org/project/editview
Node comments
http://drupal.org/project/nodecomment
Node Relativity Access Control
http://drupal.org/project/relativity_access
Quick Add Child
http://drupal.org/project/quick_child
I'm not sure the above are at all related to what you're looking for, but they have some connection to creating and managing parent/child nodes, and/or comments as nodes, and so maybe could be pieced together into some solution for you.
My big caveat: I haven't used any of those modules, so am only guessing as to their appropriateness for you, and as to whether they work at all! But please take a look, and let us know what does or doesn't help you.

Thanks
Thank you for your time !!!
I'm sorry, but I've never saw my vision of that anywhere (what i'm trying to explain with the diagram).
I don't know if you can imagine the system: a single page where you can put different kind of nodes...
Something like a view, but with the title, the description, tags for each node... so users could create complex things with video, pictures, text, collaborative documents etc. (but when I saw the list of modules, I think that you have a good vision of my problem) :
Node relativity, you can link or ATTACH children ... it could be what I need ?? maybe with quick add child !
Editview : View, edit, and add 'child' nodes on a 'parent' node page ... WOAW ...
You'r great... Thanks a lot ...
I'm going to try that tomorrow.
Sure !!!!! thanks
