I'm surprised Google has very little on this, but, how would you go about creating ad-hoc content creation forms that can be presented to members in web forms, but outside the back office cms?
We want our members to post articles to the cms which will be proof-read and then published by cms Users.
Obviously I could go through the process of reinventing the wheel and creating my own cms forms to post back to surface controllers which leverage the content service, but whats the point of that? I just want to surface lovely umbraco forms inside by own site template.
Anyone done this? Looks to be quite a common requirement.
Umbraco forms (the paying package) has a "Save as Umbraco content node" workflow item. In the configuration of the workflow you can map form fields to document properties.
You can also choose the node where it is saved under and whether it should be published or not. So this should fill your needs I think.

The fields available (out of the box anyway) seem pretty limited in the forms module...
I need at least an image picker and an RTE
