Introduction

Content Edit

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:

TextLine and TextBlock
Selection, Checkbox and User

More will be added in the near future.

Registering new users

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:

ezpublish:
    system:
        default:
            user_registration:
                group_id: <userGroupContentId>

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:

ezpublish:
    system:
        default:
            user_registration:
                templates:
                    form: 'user/registration_form.html.twig'
                    confirmation: 'user/registration_confirmation.html.twig'

with the following templates in app/Resources/views/user/registration_form.html.twig:

{% extends noLayout is defined and noLayout == true ? viewbaseLayout : pagelayout %}
{% block content %}
     {% import "EzSystemsRepositoryFormsBundle:Content:content_form.html.twig" as contentForms %}
     
     <section class="ez-content-edit">
         {{ contentForms.display_form(form) }}
     </section>
{% endblock %}

and in app/Resources/views/user/registration_confirmation.html.twig:

{% extends noLayout is defined and noLayout == true ? viewbaseLayout : pagelayout %}
{% block content %}
    <h1>Your account has been created</h1>
    <p class="user-register-confirmation-message">
        Thank you for registering an account. You can now <a href="{{ path('login') }}">login</a>.
    </p>
{% endblock %}
