First off I believe this is in the correct place, if not I do apologise.
Scenario:
I have been asked by a client to create a site and on the site they want a form where the users can submit their company details and it can then be added to the site (obviously approved first).
Problem:
What I had in mind was for every submission it would create a hidden page under a specified folder. but this got me thinking, if the site did grow to say have 2500 submissions how would Umbraco cope with this as I have not built anything in umbraco on this scale before.
Is there any other method you would recommend?
Are there plugins already built for this?
A quick way to do it is to use Doc2Form and save the form without publishing it under a specific node. And also have Doc2Form mail the submission to the webmaster so that he knows there's something new to approve.
The webmaster can then log into Umbraco, check the details and then publish the node created by Doc2Form.
If we're talking 2.500 possible submissions, then I recommend installing either AlphabetFolder or DateFolder to organize the submissions. See http://www.nibble.be/?page_id=4
Submission form advice?

Hi,
Do you ever need that info to be available at the front end? If so, use Doc2Form as Soeren mentions...
If not, use custom tables and store data in those tables. I always advice against using umbraco storage tables to hold info that is:
- not subject to versioning (it's a cms system right...)
- not to be shown on the front end
You could still list data from the custom tables using dashboard controls for example...
Just my 2 cents...

Cheers guys,
I will look into the Doc2Form package and let you know how I get on.
Thanks
