front-end form which fill article text and custom fields
Hi all,
In a txp driven website i’m developing a section where visitors can watch a list of person. By clicking on a name they could outlook all the information data about these people.
I meant to develop this using custom fields for the single information items about the person (name, age, nationality, etc)
The problem is that the final editor of this database is not so confident with the back end interface of txp to compile the fields by himself, so i’d like to build sort of a front end page (password safe) with a form inside of it. Filling the fild and clicking submit, txp should put the data in the right custom field and textarea of a new article..
Can you suggest me any plugin to help me do this? I performed a google and a forum search but found nothing relevant.
Thank you in advance

You might want to try the mem_moderation plug-in which makes it possible to submit articles to the txp database via a front-end form (for instance I have one to allow site visitors to submit events they offer). It’s designed for moderating submitted articles so the articles initially goes into a queue which the admin then either rejects or accepts (modifications possible), which results in the articles being ‘published’ proper. There are associated plug-ins for other content too. Another thread.

Thank you Jakob.
I’m just testing the plugin for my needs, once I complete the tryouts i’ll show the results directly on the website :-)
