Looking for a module for frontend editing....

Post by RonnyK »

I'm looking for a module that does the following.

* Capable of frontend editing
* Store data in different categories
* Providing stuff like, name/mail/www/subject/textarea
* Optionally upload an image with the entry

I looked at:
- News, with action='fesubmit', this does most, but the WYSIWYG, gives access to the uploads-folder
- Uploads, but uploading a file is then mandatory
- Comments/BlogMS, no upload possible
- Guestbook, only has a single use, not in different categories

Is there one module that does it all?

What do you mean by 'gives access to the uploads folder?'.... you mean the resource browser in Tiny?  Do you need a wysiwyg? or could you do without one.... if you can do without one.... we could easily disable the wysiwyg in New's fesubmit.

Also.... the custom fields aren't in news' fesubmit stuff so that'd have to be changed...

Calguy1000,

the WYSIWYG in fesubmit can be disabled, by selecting "None" as default WYSIWYG in Global Settings, but I'd like to see some possibility to upload an image (optional). With the WYSIWYG, you can insert an image, but you pass the resource-browser, which I wouldnt prefer for the frontend, without the use of FEU.

Well, the wysiwyg can also be disabled in the fe template I think.... but the best bet then would be just to add the custom fields to the fesubmit stuff, which allows uploading a file.
