IP.Content Database Forms, Submission Customization Unleashed

Posted by Marcher Technologies, 16 June 2012 · 1,281 views

I am pleased to announce the release of IP.Content Database Forms 1.0.0, a modification that works in tandem with IP.Content's native template functionality to Allow YOU to custom-tailor the submission form to your needs and desires of any IP.Content Database, Articles, or Category individually, without writing lengthy custom checks or diving into the skin(s) to customize your Database Submission forms.
Tired of ripping up your skin to Customize a single database, or category submission form?
Need a set of optional fields presented in only one category's form, without making an entirely new database?
Enjoy Ultimate control of your IP.Content Database, Articles, And Category Submission Forms.
Features Include:
  • Native Template Help Relevant to the Form Templates.
  • A Stock Form Template upon adding a Form Template for both Databases and Articles, to give a quick jump-start into template modifications.
  • Lightweight: Uses native skin Template data and IP.Content Template Compilation.
  • Control: Choose whether to use the stock recordForm skin template, or a custom form template for any Database, Articles, or any Category individually without needing to dive into the skin to make heavy modifications with checks and additional skin templates.
  • Full control of the end user experience to both provide them with the best possible interface, and to help guide them through the creation of higher quality content via a purpose built submission form.
This is a paid IP.Content Modification and can be purchased from the IPS Marketplace here. You can find other applications, IP.Content Modifications, and hooks by me here.




A lot of folks might not appreciate the beauty of this mod, but for those that do, this is pure win.
If custom DB forms had made the cut for IP.C 2.3 I'm almost sure they would have been implemented EXACTLY like this, it's a totally seamless addition to the IP.C database. Beats the cr@p out of having to do it all by hand! :)

Finding this on the marketplace blog was SUCH a lovely Father's Day present! Cheers!

I just hope that IPS buy a copy and build it into the next version of ipC!

Don't think Marcher would be too happy.
Well he would probably be happy if they paid him to help do work with IPC :P
