I've created an Asset Builder page that I want to use a custom form with, so when I select 'Asset Types to Create' I select 'Standard Page' but then where can I select an existing custom form I have already built?
It seems I then have to click the tick box in the 'Create Form Customisation' section for the Custom Form which creates a new asset which I have to rebuild the form in.
Edit:
ahhh I just worked it out, make the new asset contents a nested asset area and use the existing form! 
Edit:
However I cant get a new asset to be built, I want the contents that is entered into the form to build a standard page 
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. Are you just trying to create a standard page? If so, you can just use the Asset Builder (you shouldn't need to use a custom form at all). In 3.14+ you can apply a metadata schema to the asset that you create, and add additional details to the asset's metadata.
If want the user to edit the contents of the page after it's created, add a JavaScript redirect to the created bodycopy, to direct the user to simple edit for the page you just created (there is a keyword for it).
What I'm trying to do is have a form with certain custom fields that then creates a standard page with a set design.
The form has these fields:
Seminar Name:
Seminar Time:
Seminar Host:
Seminar Info:
Once filled in this then creates a styled 'banner' (standard page) that we can then pull onto the front page of our Intranet.
You need to decide what your base asset type will be (either Standard Page or perhaps even the Event asset, if you have the calendar). Then create a Metadata schema that matches the fields you want. You then build an Asset Builder to create your base asset type and you customise the create form so that you expose the metadata fields as well.
You can then use an Asset Listing on the home page of your Intranet to display these items.
Hi Avi,
I've built the schema and exposed the metadata fields to the page, however no form Commit buttin is shown, I've tried adding in %commit_button% and %commit_button_clean% but no button is shown on the frontend or in the source so the form cannot be submitted, so how do I get a submit button?
Thanks
If you've created a Custom Create Layout, you need to put the commit button keyword in the custom layout, not the page contents. That caught me up too. :)
hmmmmm....do you mean if I've ticked the box 'Customise Create Form' then I don't put the commit button keyword in the page contents asset that is created (which is what I had done) but put it where?...I don't see any other custom layout asset.
If you select "Customise Create Form", you should have a Layout for the asset type you've customised. It should be created as a child of the Asset Builder.
Ah yes now I understand, did not notice the icon is a Layout icon. So in there I have entered my metadata fields eg. %metadata-F_229% and %commit_button% but on the front end no submit button just the form boxes, see the screen grabs below:
[attachment=228:Picture_2.jpg]
Front end just shows the form
[attachment=229:Picture_1.jpg]
I'm missing something obvious here! Picture_2.jpg (109 KB) Picture_1.jpg (19.6 KB)
Hmmm… am I getting confused, perhaps… what happens if you put the keyword into the Page Contents bodycopy?
Ok, so I've added the keyword (which should probably be %submit_button% rather than %commit_button%) to the Asset Builders Not Logged in and Logged in pages but still no button underneath the form on the front end.
It's %commit_button% because by default the button says "Commit" It's odd that it's not displaying at all, though. You might want to log a support request so that we can take a look at your system specifically.
ok will do.
