    I have a music website and just need a basic links directory with a few fields for bands and artists to add their own links to the directory. It looks like I will need the “Form” extensions to achieve this – is this correct?

    I only need to show 3 fields, the name of the band or artist, a description and a link to their website.

    Can all the other fields and selectors be turned off so they are not seen in the submission form?

    How easy is it to change the field names/titles?

    Thanks…

    I’m think the Form extension will not sure your requirements. It is designed to be a plug and play than a custom form tool. I fear it may not have enough configuration options.

    What can be done…

    The option to allow the user to choose the entry type can be disabled.

    • The default entry type can be set as an Organization.
    • All fieldsets can be disabled except the Org name (name of the band or artist),
      Links (a link to their website) and Bio (a description).
    • The the Say What? plugin can be used to change Organization to Artist or Band Name, to Description.

    What this would leave, the Department Name and Contact Name would still be visible, these could be hidden with CSS. Lastly, The Links fieldset allows multiple, not just one link to be added.

    This gets you pretty close. I guess if it is close enough, you’ll have to decide.

    Hope that helps!
