I'll readily admit that I'm a complete newbie to Joomla and creating websites in general, so please be patient! Hopefully, I'm posting this in the right section.
I installed Joomla 1.5 and have figured out quite a lot of things so far (thanks in part to the helpful people who post to these forums!), but I am trying to figure out how exactly to make customized output for a form... basically, what I want to do is this:
User visits a form page from the main menu, and is invited to select checkboxes and write in text boxes. Example:
What kind of animals do you like?
[] Dogs
[] Cats
[] Horses
[] ______user can type here___
[] ______user can type here___
The user then clicks Submit, and the resulting page has the same look as the rest of my site (so it doesn't just look like a white background with black text - it follows my template, in other words), and the output should look like:
Bring this card into our store for discounts on items related to:
- Dogs
- Cats
- XXXX
The output might include a picture, the website name, or whatever, but it would all fit in a 3x5" box (to be printed to an index card size). I'd like it to use the built-in PDF and printer icons available in Joomla 1.5.
This is just an example, but I really don't know where to start with creating such a thing - is there functionality included in Joomla for this? Is there an extension (preferably free!) that I should be using? What language(s) would offer such customized output?
Hopefully someone can point me to a tutorial or online tool to generate such a thing... like I said, I'm very new to all of this, and I really appreciate your help/guidance. Thank you in advance!!
