How to create Resources (documents) from the front end (with a form)?

I cannot make resource2formit populate multiple select fields.
It only works when there is only one value in that TV. If there is value1||value2 then it insert nothing in the multiple select field. [ed. note: kudykam last edited this post 11 years, 9 months ago.]

How would look the syntax to select the parent via predefined dropdown?

for parent:


for dropdown in a TV:

I think that i may have found a bug in @xxxmicrobexxx nice modification of @Bruno's snippet. The post can be found here:

The problem:
If a user creates 2 resources with the same name, then the same alias is set for both resources, thus resulting in this error created in the error log:

Resource URI testContainer/test-resource already exists for resource id = 29; skipping duplicate resource URI for resource id = 30

And then of course if anyone tries to view the page created he/she can't. I wonder if this could be fixed.

This is an awesome snippet by the way

I solved this by putting resource id infront of alias:

Excellent work mate! It works perfectly

EDIT: After carefully examining @kudykam's code,i noticed that now all newly created resources are like this: "id-alias" .
So, using his code and some other code i found in a thread(don't remember where,sorry), i made a small update:



Just place it above the:

If you want the duplicated resources to start from 1, then change to (e.g. already existing alias Maria becomes Maria1, and so on)

Hi Guys,
Anyway to upload a file e.g. pdf,doc to a TV from the frontend e.g. say a public user wanted to submit a resume and link it to his profile (ie a Resource). I think Bruno mentioned that he was able to do it?
Thanks

How would I go about adapting Bruno's code to create a new post in the Articles add on?

Is it simply adapting the code so that the object is Articles or is there a lot more to it?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to edit a document created with formit2resource

I have a link <p><a href="[[~646? &resId=`876`]]">Edit resource</a></p>

and it goes the right resource when I click it.

then what actually outputs on the page is

Array
(
[id] => 876
[type] => document
[contentType] => text/html
[pagetitle] => TEST CREATE 3
[longtitle] =>
[description] =>
[alias] => task1386076021
[link_attributes] =>
[published] => 1
[pub_date] => 0
[unpub_date] => 0
[parent] => 164
[isfolder] =>
[introtext] =>
[content] =>
[richtext] => 1
[template] => 7
[menuindex] => 0
[searchable] => 1
[cacheable] => 1
[createdby] => 254
[createdon] => 2013-12-03 17:07:01
[editedby] => 0
[editedon] => 0
[deleted] =>
[deletedon] => 0
[deletedby] => 0
[publishedon] => 0
[publishedby] => 0
[menutitle] =>
[donthit] =>
[privateweb] =>
[privatemgr] =>
[content_dispo] => 0
[hidemenu] =>
[class_key] => modDocument
[context_key] => web
[content_type] => 1
[uri] => task1386076021.html
[uri_override] => 0
[hide_children_in_tree] => 0
[show_in_tree] => 1
[properties] =>
)

with the form underneath it and none of the fields are populated.

the formit call(s) on that page are:

[[!FormIt? &hooks=`spam,formit2step,email` &preHooks=`resource2formit` &resource2formitfields=`parent,longtitle,content`&emailTpl=`myEmailChunk` $submitvar=`editForm` &emailTo=`[email protected]`]]

<p>[[+fi.error.error_message]]</p>
<form class="form" action="[[+fi.id]]" id="myEditForm" name="myEditForm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="nospam:blank" />
<input type="hidden" name="resource_id" value="[[+fi.id]]" />
<input type="text" name="taskParent" value="[[+fi.taskParent]]" />


<label for="pagetitle">Edit Quick Task Title: <span class="error">[[+fi.error.pagetitle]]</span> </label>

<input id="pagetitle" type="text" name="pagetitle" value="[[+fi.pagetitle]]" size="50"/>

<label for="keywords">
Edit Keywords:
<span class="error">[[+fi.error.keywords]]</span>
</label>



<textarea id="keywords" name="keywords" rows="7" cols="55">[[+fi.keywords]]</textarea> <br class="clear" />


<div class="form-buttons"><input type="submit" value="Edit Resource" name="editForm" onsubmit="return false;"/></div>
</form>


Any thoughts?

never mind, I commented these two lines:

// $errorMsg = '<pre>'.print_r($docarray,true).'</pre>';
// $hook->addError('error_message',$errorMsg);

and also rechecked my &resource2formitfields and fixed those and now its ok. I know this is loading parameters via get request but I load this with AJAX now into tabs...going to go experiment but if anyone has ideas? that would be awesome.
