How do I create a submit page?

By hinchcliffe on 27 Nov 2007 at 22:01 UTC

Hi my name is Justin Hinchcliffe, and I've taken on a huge roll for drupal development. I'll be needing alot of help due to my lack of expertise in the next little while, but first off I need to create a submit page.

I want the user to go to this submit page and be able to pretty much write a story so it'll look like this.

1) title field
2) content

3) Attach file

4) namef
5) namel
6) e-mail

7) submit form --- Gets submitted to another page where submissions are ascending.

Would I have to use views? I havn't used vews before is there anyone that would be willing to walk me through this?

Thanks, - Justin Hinchcliffe

so far, so simple

Not views yet, but start with cck to add items 4,5,6.
1,2,3 are core 'create content' features (with upload.module).

So install CCK, and create a content type and enable/add those fields you want.

You'll want to play with access permissions a bit to hide the fields you don't want. When logged in as admin you see too much, so log out with another browser to preview your setup.

You MAY want views to help with the rendering ordering, but that comes later.
