Creating page from form based on template fields (front end)

[fredbob]

Hi,

I am trying to create a frontend form that allows the user to create a page with a specific template (and fill out the fields)

I have started to use code from this post

 

This is my current code

<?php
$p = $pages->get(1029);
$template = $p->template->name; // this is the template where we will get the fields from

// make a form
$form = $modules->get('InputfieldForm');
$form->method = 'post';
$form->action = './';
$form->attr("id+name",'subscribe-form');

// add the page's fields to the form
$fields = $p->fieldgroup;
foreach($fields as $field) {
    $inputfield = $fields->{$field->name}->getInputfield($p);
    $form->append($inputfield);
}

// add a submit button to the form
$submit = $modules->get('InputfieldSubmit');
$submit->name = 'save_service';
$submit->attr("value", "Go");
$form->append($submit);

// process the form if it was submitted
if($this->input->post->save_service) {
    // now we assume the form has been submitted.
    // tell the form to process input from the post vars.
    $form->processInput($this->input->post);

    // see if any errors occurred
    if( count( $form->getErrors() )) {
        // re-render the form, it will include the error messages
        echo $form->render();
    } 
    else {
        // successful form submission
        $np = new Page(); // create new page object
        $np->template = 'service'; // set template
        $np->parent = $pages->get($user); // set the parent
        $np->of(false); // turn off output formatting before setting values
        $np->save();

        foreach($np->fields as $f) {
            $np->set($f->name, $form->get($f->name)->value);
        }
        
        $np->save(); //create the page

        echo "<p>Page saved.</p>";
    }
} else {
    echo $form->render();
}

And I am getting this error, I can't figure out what it is.

Hi @xfroggy

I'm not sure about this at all.

$np->parent = $pages->get($user); // set the parent

• You are trying to set user page as parent for new page. Users pages can't have children.
