I would like to know if flexicontent can let you create frontend forms for the user to fill, the data is then used to create joomla articles. Template styles can be prefixed to the content.
SEBLOD, FORM2CONTENT and Chronoforms are the few extensions that i know will get the job done.
Can flexicontent do this???

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

micker the above links are for developers , you do not need to do a Joomla template override for the form

instead simply do this

1. In "Type" manager (backend tab),
create one Content Type for every type of form that you need

2. In Fields manager (backend tab)
create the fields that you need and inside fields configuration select to assign fields to the appropriate content type (aka = content item form)

3. (optionally) filter the fields manager listing by a specific content type and then reorder the fields for this content type

Regards

@ggppdk
Thank you for the suggestion. I understood that and the form was quite good in the frontend when i created a new type and added a few fields to it.
But there is a problem. I edit the form and i submit but none of the data added to the "new fields" appear in the article. The article only contains the data that has been entered into the "default fields" like description, metatags etc.. The custom fields that i have created do not come up in the article content.

There must be something that i am doing wrong here!
Please let me know
