Title: Custom fieldsets in new topic
Post by: dorje on May 1st, 2011, 05:00 PM
Hi! :)

Let me explain what I mean... 

I'm using posts with defined "structure" of content (here an example of such a post(http://forum.artistimarziali.org/index.php?topic=7559.msg171572#msg171572)), that let me with a simple query select all first messages of this board to parse data and use in other ways (so, I'm using posts like database tables in fact).

Here is the result: http://home.artistimarziali.org/?page=scuole

So, I'm thinking that it can be a great idea to define some kind of "board template" (with the post strucure prepared: now the users have to do a copy & paste) or better the possibility to define, for topic start, not the classic input form with the textarea, but a form with customizable fieldsets, that will write the post in the correct manner.

I'm thinking to write a mod to do that on smf - what do you think about? I think that this system will be useful in many ways.... Like maybe support boards (to force users to compile certain fields for example).

I don't know if this can be a default feature for the wedge core, but I'm sure it can be a useful mod. :)

There's already a mod for that in SMF; it's called the Custom Form mod.

Can't see it being a core feature, nice enough mod though.

We kind of did that in AeMe and I was thinking of doing something for topics as well...

oh
if the wedge will support custom forms [1]
it would be cool

 1. sometimes necessary to ask users to a message template

For the second time... It will be something that can be tackled as a mod rather than as a core feature.
