Aizada_M is exploring the possibility of using TypeForm to auto-populate a post template in a Discourse forum. The goal is to simplify the process for users who need to fill out a template with complex codes (Markdown, HTML). Aizada_M wants users to be able to fill out a TypeForm and have their data displayed as a pre-designed post, complete with buttons and a location map.
Falco suggested using the Custom Wizard Plugin, which can achieve the desired functionality. Alternatively, TypeForm can be used, but it will require additional setup using Zapier or custom code. Aizada_M is grateful for the response and is looking for examples of this functionality in action.
Hello. On the forum, I first learned about TypeForm from your posts. I have a question. Can I use TypeForm to automatically populate a post with a user. We want to create a category template for the user to fill in. But, since the template will contain a lot of codes (markdown, html) it will be difficult for the user to use it. Using TypeForm we want to simplify this task. For example, the user filled out the form and pressed enter, and his data was displayed as an already designed post (buttons embedded in the post, a location map, and other user data).
Sorry if something is not clear, I do not speak English and use google translator. I am not a programmer.
These buttons will be provided as a template when the user creates a post. But since they will be presented as code, they will look intimidating to the user and not understandable to fill out.
Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙 would do what you want. You can do it with Typeform too, but it will require some plumbing between Typeform and Discourse, either via something like Zapier or custom code.
