Hi

Is there a way to submit content to the Umbraco CMS from a normal webform, as opposed to the admin section of umbraco without logging in.

The idea is that people could submit their own profile, and then an Umbraco admin could then authorise/publish the submitted content.

I know anything is possible with Umbraco, I just wanted to know what the easiest way of doing this is, or if a possible such package exists.

I will be using the latest release 3.05.

Many thanks,
Craig

Hello Muirheed,
Yes this is possible with your custom .NET usercontrol which you can created unpublished nodes, then your admin person can login and save & publish for them to be approved.

You need to look at the API to do this.

You could also use autoform, I'll see if I can digg up some more info.

Basicly this creates forms based on your doctypes.

So if you have a comment doctype with name and comment property, you can add a form with these 2 fields to your frontend.
