Form to Asset Page, Jquery Content Areas

(Jacob Fogolyan) #1

Hello,


What i am after is having a form that has 10 or so fields that an admin can easily enter text into (Custom Form). Once it has been submitted, this information will need to be displayed on a standard page. Each field entry will be displayed on this page in a specific div name which will have refference to Jquery.



I understand JQuery and how to get that sorted within the site, but I'm not sure of the best approach to take in order to translate input from a Custom Form and display it on a standard page.



So these are the steps im assuming the admin will want to take.



  • Enter form data
    [*]Form data saves and is rendered on a standard page
    [*]Each field content will need to be in its own Div in order to link Query.
    [*]Admin can easily update text


I have worked with Asset Builders before but i found it extremely difficult to use and understand, but that was creating calendar events and not standard pages.

Anyway, thanks for reading this, let me know if you need any further information.

Can you explain a little further about what your final goal is? Why are you wanting to use a custom form rather than a standard page with metadata and created with an asset builder? What are you using the jquery for?


If you are wanting to go the custom form route, you will need to make sure to give the Submissions folder public read access. I am not sure if submission assets have a URL, but either way would could have a standard page with a nested asset listing, which has a dynamic root node set to the asset ID of the submission, then you could list out the fields from the form using the asset listing.
