Seblod: Create contact form

Question

I am trying to replicate the com_contact contact form page using Seblod CCK. My goal is to display contact person and then below give the user the ability to submit a request.

I have already created several content types so I roughly know how to use Seblod, but I am new to creating contact forms. Here are the steps I have done:

1. Created a new app folder for my contact form
2. Created a new content type for the contact form
3. Added the fields that I want the user to fill in such as (name, email, message) and a submit button. Choosing storage location as None so it does not get saved into the database.

Then I assigned a menu item to the contact form choosing access level as public. When I open it, instead of the contact form, I see login prompt. It seems I am not allowed to view the contact form as anonymous. Who do I set the permission such that anonymous users can view and submit my contact form.

Answer 1

The right access level for your case is Public, unless you have done any changes to the default ACL structure. If you haven't done such changes, then you should check the permissions settings you have applied into your form.

Check to see if there is public access for creating new submissions (or other similar options) in your form.

Answer 2

I found the answer my self in a SEBLOD blog entry. There is a small arrow at the right corner of the content types main settings.

When opened there is a permission button:

And in there I could set the Create permission for the group Public to Allowed.
