You define the fields, and it will send an email to the address you designate. It also stores the info in a table you can export for reference later. If the user is logged in, webform can also pull in profile info, so the person doesn't need to fill that in over and over. No coding needed.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Bear in mind, I don't know what the future plans are for the webform module, whether there will be a version for Drupal 6 or what.</DIV><DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><BR>I want to set up a recipe swap forum/area. There's a recipe module, but no info on its features. I started to create a custom content type, but I am missing something - a fields module? Where do I do more than give it a name and a title field? I feel dumb! I want this to be as simple for the end users as possible. <BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><DIV>I would use CCK for this and create the recipe structure to my own liking.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Laura</DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
