Forums / Developer / How to embed an object form creation in a custom module

Hello,
I have a custom module and a view : mymodule/myview
I want to embed in the template of my view a form to create a new node and I want to use the "native" edit template so that this embed form can create different objects depending on the context.
To sum up an operator would be great like : {node_create_gui content_type="my_content_type"} and this generate the form :-D*
I'm trying to do that but it means I have to create a draft, ... as the native edit action is quite complex.
What do you think ? Is there a simplier way to do that ?
Thank you :-)

I'm currently working on an employment site where the candidates create a "candidate profile" and the employers create "job listings". I created objects with my module by simply posting the appropriate variables to /content/action. Because ezpub makes you create and object then a new version of that object and then edit that new version, I felt it was more trouble than it was worth trying to reinvent that process.

I'm beginning to think that I'm going to create the edit form on my own, try to built it in a "generic" way so that it will be compatible with every datatype and use the eZContentFunctions::createAndPublishObject() to create my object ...

Maybe you should use the same process as for creating comments or forum topics, with the NewButton and other ClassIdentifier input...

Why not... But have a look into those files :) :

Yes but I don't want to have to post something to content/action because I want this edit form to be after user/register so I made a redirection using a RedirectAfterUserRegister input to a custom module ...

I use javascript on the registration success page to redirect them after registration. Not perfect, but it works.

I thought about that but I need the website to be compatible for non-javascript user ...
That's a pity that there is not a url to trigger everything and like I said in my first post an operator would be awesome :D

Sure, maybe you should code it ;-).
By the way, it's a template function not an operator (this is not exactly the same :))

I have no time right know so I choose to use the createAndPublishObject() but maybe later I'll begin to implement the template function ( :D right it's not exactly the same).
Thanks for the help :-)
