You can simply put the php code inside the body of a new page instead of a block (be sure to select a filter that allows php code)

Then you can add your text and images before and after this code.

Interesting idea. I think the block is better b/c copying/pasting the code *might* fail one day in the distant future with an upgrade. Anyway, either idea seems like it would work.

Thanks!

For much greater flexibility and easier maintenance consider the webforms module. This allows you to add as many custom fields as you need, email different addresses, add content before and after, database the info and look at stats etc. That's what i used to create 3 different contact forms that included questionaires etc.

Ooops, I misunderstood you (I thought you meant copy the HTML code).

Your solution is actually perfect and definitely better than mine.

Thank you very much!!

This raises an interesting question. I have a site where we want to allow members who are of the type 'Volunteer' to login and submit a form with a few fields like:

DATE ACTIVITY (dropdown) NOTES (textarea)

Then we need to allow both the admins and the Volunteer himself to be able to view a table of all such records, where Date, Activity and Notes are the columns. Each Volunteer could of course see only his own records and the admins would need to be able to view a unique table for each volunteer.

We started this with CCK, but I haven't gotten it just yet.

Is webforms the way to go for this?

Thanks!

I believe the best way to go is to use CCK and Views. You create a new content type w/CCK. You give the volunteers to ability to create content and edit their own content for the new node type in the Access control area. Then you create as many views as you need to display what you need to whom you need (two might work, but might require the creative use of $args).

Though I haven't actually tried it, I don't think you can get your views (or reports) the way you want them with the Webform module.

Yeah that's not exactly how webforms works - you can't create content that is then publically accessible - it would email and/or database the submissions and then an admin would have to go in and create the actual content type. Using cck to create a content type and allowing that role to create and edit would be the way to go for this.

Thank you both for writing. I got the CCK approach to work. I used a table type view and this:

$view = views_get_view('Volunteer_Activity'); return views_build_view('embed', $view, array(arg(1)), false, 15);

to show the table view in the user page.

Thanks!
