Hello

I’d like to allow all users on my website to submit an article or an event (or gallery), which would then be approved by the admin (before its published).

Is there any module that I should use for this? If not, what kind of approach should I take?

Thanks a lot for help!

Articles & events are pretty much out of the box - you just setup a membergroup with the appropriate privileges and a weblog for the content to go into.  You would set the default status to pending, and setup an email notification for when new posts are submitted.  You could either have them use the Control Panel or create a stand alone entry form for the purpose.

For photos, there is no out of the box stand alone entry form. If you want them to use the EE gallery you’re going to have to let them into the Control Panel and have access to creating new gallery categories etc.

Otherwise you could roll your own gallery using the weblog module and follow a similar approach as above.

Is there any tutorial available on how to create a stand alone entry form for that purpose?

Thanks for advice!

I don’t have anything on my site - but the docs are pretty straightforward. 

Oh - looks like Ryan has a screencast that covers it.

Looks great - will check it out!

One more more thing:
I’d like to have form which is basically dynamic search (ajax) that would auto-list possible options when you type in something. For instance: if we have form “fruit” and we type in “a” it would automatically list a few options like apple, ananas, etc. so that we can select one of those (from the fruit weblog).

How is it possible to do this with expression engine on the easiest/best way?

Thanks again!
