Class - user input?

You need to use the normal edit functions for objects: see for example how it is done for editing articles and adding forum messages, its all in the templates. You may want to write an edit override template for it too. And finally, make sure the roles are set right for doing so.

It most certainly is easier to start without the demo data and all the roles it comes with.

Paul,

I have had a look at the edit_class*.tpl files and they are helpful. Where I am getting stuck is what to do first - in my case adding a "job" will be done by the users on the site.

Another part of the site will list all the jobs that have been entered by the users. In the Forums example, there are separate classes for forums and forum_messages.

Articles (as far as I can see so far) have Comments, which again is a separate class.

I am sure I am missing the obvious here - am not sure where to start and could use a tip to get me going....should I create two separate classes i.e. Jobs and Add_Job?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Gabriel,

I now have 2 classes - "Jobs" and "Add Job". In the site I have a folder called (no surprise!) "Jobs" inside which the latest jobs are displayed. This works fine.

I changed the "anonymous" user role to allow this user to create an "Add Job".

Now I have created a new folder (inside Jobs) called Add your job. I am a little uncertain as to the next step - I tried to insert the "Add Job" form but nothing shows up. The object name in the Add Job class is "job_title" which is for the user to insert, so when I publish the Add Job nothing shows up.

If I edit the Add Job to include the title then it does show up. I know I have to edit the full_class*.tpl file so that it shows up the way I want, but am I supposed to create and edit an edit_class*.tpl file too?

What about the information collector? Is this only for email forms? I would like to have certain fields required....

I guess it sounds like I am confused because I am confused!

Thanks for any help.
