User-Generated Content¶

Creating content¶

eZ Platform comes with content edition features via the Symfony stack. They are meant to allow the implementation of user-generated content from the front end, without entering the Back Office.

Creating a new draft¶

The content/create/draft route enables you to create a new draft for the selected Content item. Pass the ID of the Content item as an argument.

For example, content/create/draft/59 creates a new draft of the Content item with ID 59.

Creating a content item without using a draft¶

The /content/edit/nodraft route shows 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`

This means that /content/create/nodraft/folder/eng-GB/2 enables you to create a Folder in English as a child of Location with ID 2.

A limited subset of Field Types is supported:

TextLine
TextBlock
Selection
Checkbox
User
Date
DateAndTime
Time
Integer
Float
URL

Editing a Content item¶

To edit an existing draft, use the /content/edit/draft/ route, with the following arguments:

Argument	Type	Description
`contentId`	`integer`	ContentId of the item to edit.
`versionNo`	`integer`	Number of the Version to edit. The version must be an unpublished draft.
`languageCode`	`string`	Language code of the version. Example: `eng-GB`

For example, /content/edit/draft/1/5/eng-GB enables you to edit draft 5 of Content item 1 in English.

Content editing templates¶

You can use custom templates for the content editing forms.

Define the templates in the following configuration:

ezpublish:
    system:
        default:
            content_edit:
                templates:
                    edit: content_edit/content_edit.html.twig
                    create_draft: content_edit/content_create_draft.html.twig
