Submissions Creator
===================

[](#submissions-creator)

Submission Creator makes usage from the power of [contao-submissions](https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-submissions) and [contao-frontendedit](https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-frontendedit). It provides a reader module, that can create custom frontend forms with possible relations to other contao entities like news.
