User Generated Content
Introduction
Content Edit
V1.2
eZ Platform comes with content edition features via the Symfony stack. They are meant, in addition the PlatformUI's editing capabilities, to allow the implementation of User Generated Content from the frontend.
Usage
Creating a content item without using a draft
As of eZ Platform 1.2, a new /content/edit/nodraft route is available. It will show a Content item creation form for a given Content Type:
| argument | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| contentTypeIdentifier | string | The identifier of the content type to create. Example: folder, article |
| languageCode | string | Language code the content item must be created in. Example: eng-GB |
| parentLocationId | integer | ID of the Location the content item must be created in. Example: 2 |
For now a very limited subset of Field Types is supported. These are:
- V1.2 TextLine and TextBlock
- V1.4 Selection, Checkbox and User
More will be added in the near future.
Registering new users
V1.4
You can allow your users to create accounts by employing the /register route. This route leads to a registration form that, when filled in, creates a new User Content item in the repository.
User Groups
By default, new Users generated in this way are placed in the Guest accounts group. You can select a different default group in the following section of configuration:
Registration form templates
You can use custom templates for the registration form and for the registration confirmation page.
These templates are defined with the following configuration:
