Form2Content LITE

Form2Content LITE is a Joomla! content creation kit. It enables you to submit articles to Joomla using a custom form with as many fields as you like and a template for the article layout. In essence the normal Joomla article content is split into a submission form and an article template. When a form is saved the content is pasted into the template and the generated HTML is inserted into the Joomla! database.

For display and navigation of the articles generated through Form2Content the normal Joomla menu structure is used. This makes Form2Content 100% compatible with all third party modules and components related to content articles.

Front-end article manager

Form2Content has its own front-end article manager. In the configuration you can set whether (registered)users can only edit/create their own articles or all the articles.

F2C XML Feeds and Search Components

Form2Content LITE works with both our commercial extensions F2C XML Feeds and F2C Search Component & Module. Please note that for the search component at present you can only search the Single Select field type. In Form2Content Pro multi-select and checkbox field types are added.
