I need some help figuring out how I can and should tackle the following scenario, I'm not a backend developer so please bare with me:
The user who comes by my site should be able to fill out a form (images, text etc.) and submit the form adding the informations to a new page people can visit.
So for instance, I could post a picture of my car, add some informations, hit submit and a page would be generated with those informations.
Is there anything out there which can already do this?
I've heard much about the Umbraco Forms plugin and it seems very reasonable to use! However, this is not a "real project" for the outside work.
I'm looking to learn how to do a bit more "advanced" stuff compared to regular frontend-work so I thought this would be a fun little task to work on in my sparetime.
Spending $219 on something that will only remain in my folder is a bit steep I think.
Is there any alternatives or perhaps documentations on how to create a content node directly from the frontend?
Generate page based on form submit
Hi community,

Hi MBE,
what you describe here is a feature that comes with Umbraco Forms out of the box. So using Umbraco Forms would be pretty easy.

Hope that helps,

Hi MBE,
sorry for the late reply.
You don't need to purchase the license for a local-only test project. Umbraco Forms comes with all features for domain x.local.
