How to embed a new node edit/create form in a page

Hello Tuomo,

First part is tricky because edit form creates draft, so in your case every page view would create draft (it will slow down your web). Maybe there is some solution which uses AJAX or something similar to post custom form for object creation. Don't know of such solution yet, maybe someone else does.

For second part you have DisplaySettings section in collect.ini

Okay, thanks for these.. I'll take a look at that powercontent extension.
I was thinking about a way to circumvent this problem. I was thinking that maybe I could make the form that submits the topic information as a standard information collector and submit the info that way. But that would require that I have a workflow set up so that when that information is collected, the workflow would automatically create the topic node using the collected information. But that would require a trigger which gets fired when information collectors are sent. Is there such a trigger or how could I create one ?

Hi, I also have questions on the second part.

Actually, embedded a form to another page, so one form can be used anywhere is very common. However, I don't know how to enable the validation function, as I have posted a message just before this to ask:

"validate when the form template is not loaded as full view?"
(http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/validate_when_the_form_template_is_not_loaded_as_full_view). I really don't have a clear clue on how the name space in eZ template language works; some docs on some deprecated tags but not all.

And, I knew the DisplaySettings section in collect.ini, just specify the result as node. But, there is also no information on how to write "thank you" message in the same node template page. How do I check if the form has successfully submitted to "content/action"?

Really wish someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!
