    For users to submit Content with this.

    I own www.njsaltwaterfisherman.com and need it for fishing report submissions,
    In joomla.

    After Form Is filled out is goes directly to the front page and
    would look something like this

    Name:Hotrod
    Date: 2/27/07
    Time: 6:AM
    Location: 20 miles out Atlantic ocean

    We  headed out of the inlet at 6:am
    Found the birds working about 5 miles out.
    Started throwing plugs and landing
    30" Stripers one after another.

    Ive tried everything out there, but failed because of my lack of coding skills.

    Can this be done with This?
    If so could I also add a category drop down, so the report is listed into the appropriate latest fishing reports module.

    Thanking You in advance.

    Hotrod

      yes it can be done, however you will need to write some php code. You should take a look at process.php, it defines all the variables that contain the value of your form fields. You can use them to print out your sentences. Something like:

      echo "We headed out of the inlet at $_POST['date_var'] Found the birds ...";
      You have to check what the name of the variables are, like for the date I assumed the variable was called date_var.

      I like your page.  Anything is possible with a little coding.  You do need to have o good idea of how your form works and what you want to do with the data.  For instance you could use the form to capture the data into a database.  You could then extract the information from the database onto any other page and display it any way you like. 
      Of course phpFromgenerator is only a small piece of that. 
      Send me an email if you would like some help.
