Utilize the BasicForm control to input data to the Content Tree?
I am trying to create a web part that will allow users to create events in the system.
(there will be an approval process, don't worry)

I am trying to utilize the BasicForm control which is used by the BizForm and CustomTableForm controls. I tried wiring it up to the CMS.Event document type, but the form doesn't load properly. All I get is a submit button!

I've tried:
Putting it in the markup for a web part
dynamically creating it and adding it to the page.
Dynamically creating it in a separate compiled control (like the CustomTableForm control)

None of these seemed to work correctly. Anyone know what I'm missing, or is there an easier way for me to do this?

Hello,

I would suggest you to use for this purpose the User Contribution module.

Best regards,
