multiple form submission: user controls solution?

I am building a online signup and story submission application which involves multiple form submissions. I created several document types to store the story submission content. What would be a better solution for creating multiple forms application in the portal engine? Shall I create user control for each form and add them into the site? I tried using Contribution List web part to do this, but it seems that the workflow or the layout of the Contribution List web part is not quite easy to customize.

RE:multiple form submission: user controls solution?

Hi,

so you want to collect data through more dialogs (steps)? The data will be stored in one document type or into more document types? You will probably need to write your own webpart (user control) for this.
You could maybe use "Alternative Forms" in that webpart, depending on the details of your intended solution, please see this DevGuide article and following articles in the module section.

Thank you in advance for any further information.

Regards,
Zdenek C.
