Which module to make a submission form (for abstracts)?
richstant - May 1, 2009 - 18:13
I have a drupal 6 site & have been asked to provide a page on the website where people can submit information (an abstract in this case) - generally it would be some info about themselves and a pdf or doc attachment. The info & attachment should then either be emailed to an address, or stored on the website for later retrieval. Something like the contact form but with the added ability to attach other files to the emails. Is there a module that would suit my needs? I've seen webform, but I'm not quite sure if this is what I'm after? There is a conference module but the drupal-6 port is only in beta at the moment. Any suggestions?
CCK + Upload
CCK is what you need to build the form (http://drupal.org/project/cck). Upload (optional core module) will allow users to attach files to the nodes they create.
Looks complicated, but thanks
Looks complicated, but thanks for the pointer. Time to install & have a play :) I've found a drupal website that doesn exactly what I want to do: http://ifa.amu.edu.pl/plm/Abstract_submission
Was this done with CCK?
Webform worked
I had a play with cck but couldn't quite get it to do what I wanted. Turns out webform did what I needed!
