Automated Article layout creator - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

can tell me please, there module/component available allows automate joomla article creation? let me elaborate, simple article property rental website have number of components, let example contain following:-

a lead image.
a text description of property.
multiple photos image gallery display.
a google maps display showing location of property.

the inexperienced joomla end user has go through several operations obtain simple article. firstly, have upload leading image going content, media manager menu, uploading required image required folder. have upload gallery display images, again using content , media manager menu create new folder, specific property , upload multiple images gallery display folder. user has create new google map , marker using, phoca maps show detailed location of property.

all of done, inexperienced user has place lead image in article, add description text, add gallery pictures using {gallery} gallery_name {/gallery} tag photographs displayed, insert phoca maps tag similar {phocamaps view=link|id=1|text=map} want display location map. no mean task inexperienced user!

all of automated giving user series of questions , input fields fill in, using script, questions such as:-

when uploaded, placed in pre-determined position in pre-determined article template positions in website template

please enter description of property.
this allow user enter description of property inserted pre-designated position in article template.

the script go on insert tag variables gallery , phocamaps tags article displays correct content.

this enable inexperienced user input own property details, without having have detailed knowledge of how administration back-end of joomla works, , take away website designer chore of having input new articles end user themselves.

are there modules/components/plugins can achieve this? or being optimistic?

the user experience asking one, , 1 should looking attain. challenge such automation needs tailored each project - , going that? has site developer working client, client's needs, , content managers maintaining site. , site developer have skill , budget set such workflow?

i've set workflows similar asking, solutions involve creation of custom component. component aggregates needed fields, , these field values can collected typically through single edit form. since custom, field names , descriptions termed way suggesting. although user not shown 1 question @ time, rather series of questions flow linearly through linear list of fields.

and of course, form can on front end. can on backend content provider getting access component (through acl).

as output, in control of how layout , display output of data component. can either override view or create alternative layouts provide, well, alternative layouts how data displayed. require understanding of php , how view files work.

what want believe should building , delivering. each client tailored solution, , hard-pressed find needed workflow implemented want in out-of-the-box extension. more likely, you'll need craft own. fortunately, joomla provides flexibility - demands needed skills site developer.
