My client is an artist; she makes art for children. She is also a retired child-psychiatrist, and wants to incorporate an advice column for kids into the website.
For most of my clients, the answer would be obvious and easy... just having a specific 'Contact' link to send her questions, and she could just create new articles within a given category, which would appear in the Advice Column, cutting-and-pasting the questions from the email into the articles. Simple, right?
The problem is this: this client is the most computer-illiterate old lady I've ever met. To illustrate: she sent me an email with text for the site, and asked me to send it back to her so that she'd have a copy. I swear it's true.
So I just don't now whether she can even handle much back-end management, and I doubt she can even handle cutting-and-pasting the question into the body of the wysiwyg editor, let alone adding blockquote classes to divs and whatnot.
So, I was thinking the best bet might be some kind of function that allows her to log into the front-end (preferably), it shows her new questions submitted by site visiters, lets her fill in the answer, push a button, and the whole thing will be automatically published to the site. I suppose that some back-end management is also nice, like the ability to sort, unpublish, etc.
I wondered if Fabrik can do it (I've used it to make a simple form, but I didn't pay for the manual till about 5 minutes ago, so I don't know the full extent to which it can be used). I am pretty sure it can, but I have no idea where to begin, and the newly acquired manual is somewhat intimidating to a fabrik-newb like me.
So, any suggestions on the best way to approach this with Fabrik?
Cheers!
