The guestbook

These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.

The case states that "The Scandinavian Check Mates" would like to have a guestbook of some sort. The guestbook is somewhat different from what we've been doing so far. It will provide functionality that allows anonymous surfers to add content to the CMS of eZ publish through the TSCM website. In addition, we'll make use of the workflow system to approve guestbook entries.

The guestbook section of the site will basically consist of two parts:

  • List of entries
  • Entry submit page

The list of entries will be a read-only page showing all the entries that have been added to the guestbook. The submit page will be accessible from the "List of entries" page. It will display a form (with a couple of text fields), a "Submit" and a "Cancel" button.
