F2C Content Type Manager
For each type of content it is possible to set the (default) Article parameters and create a custom submission form.
Content Type configuration - Setting section/category & captions
All the captions of the submission form for each type of content can be set. So if the article is about recipes, \'Recipe title\' is cleares than just \'Title\'. Set the default Category location where the articles are saved or just specify the Section and leave the catergory choice to the submitter. Of course placing a caption like \'Type of recipe\' is cleared than \'Category selection\'.
Content Type configuration - Default values & hiding fields
All the Joomla native article parameters can be entered with default values. This will increase the quality and consistancy of the article as settings can\'t be forgotten. If default values are set it is also possible to hide the fields in the front-end, making the submission form easy to use.
Content Type configuration - Advanced article parameters
For each article submitted through Form2Content it is possible to set default values for the advanced article parameters. For articles already generated it is possible to Batch override the settings saving lots of time.
Content Type configuration - Back-end and Front-end
Within the back-end of Joomla it is always possible to override all the article settings for individual articles.
Field manager - Customising the submission form
The field manager is used to add extra custom fields to your article submission form. The fields can be ordered and there are 15 field types in F2C Pro. It is also possible to hide fields from front-end users thereby permitting Administrators extra flexibility in specifying settings for an article.
F2C Field types - Create a custom article submission form
For each type of content (article) it is possible to create an article submission form. In F2C Pro there are 15 field types to choose from in creating your form. For each field type there are settings which will determine how the data is rendered in the F2C templates. Images will be resized to a large and small version and can be uploaded using a simple browse buttton.
Back-end F2C article layout
The F2C article manager displays articles much the same way as Joomla. The large difference of course is that instead of a WYSIWYG editor you now see the created article submission form. No more HTML knowledge, plugin codes or other tricky parts. This is all in the F2C Template letting users focus on the content!
Front-end article manager - Show only your or all articles
The fornt-end F2C article manager allows users, depending on the config setting, see their own or all articles. Search and filter settings can be set as can the Content Type. The different information columns can be hidden and publishing rights can be switched on or off.
Front-end article submission - KEEP IT SIMPLE
Using captions and swithcing as many parameters off (i.e. set default values) it is possible to create a simple to use submission form form the Joomla articles. It is possible to set the section while leaving the choice of category open in the submission form.
