Thank you to Barrett Newton for developing SafeCracker and working with EllisLab to provide it to the ExpressionEngine community.

SafeCracker, now offered by EllisLab, makes it possible to add and edit content to your site without accessing the control panel.

SafeCracker key features include:

  • Allows guest (logged out) users to use the entry form, with optional CAPTCHA support.
  • Edit existing entries, and only edit the fields you need. Fields not in your form will be left intact.
  • Adds or edits entries based on the presence of an entry_id and/or url_title.
  • Allows use of the entry_id or url_title in your return URL, so that you may redirect to the entry that was just created. Useful for multi-page forms.
  • Specify a default status, or set forms to override default statuses.
  • Specify different return URLs for different member groups by the group_id. Send visitors to one page, and admins to another.
  • Server-side form validation using the CodeIgniter Form Validation class.
  • Handles AJAX requests and can output responses in JSON.
  • Includes an optional SafeCracker File fieldtype.

SafeCracker is included in the ExpressionEngine Download as of ExpressionEngine 2.2.
