Drupal Views - Create user forms

[jotorres1]

Hi Freaks!

 

Can anyone here tell me how drupal views work or give me an example on how to create one.  Here is what I'm trying to accomplish:

 

I am currently creating a site using drupal CMS, and utilizing a reverse auction module.  I would need to create a view to display these 'reverse auctions' but also, I would need for a site user, to also be able to create these 'auctions'.  What I have so far is, I have created a view, and also created a new content type.  This content type is specific to those reverse auctions.  The view that I have, I am able to display the list of those auctions. 

 

How can I allow for users to create these auctions?  I've done some searching and found that it is done with CCK module, and node reference, but can't seem to understand just yet. 

 

Anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks.

 

PS. Im using Drupal 7.

You can enable permission for authenticated users to add content of the type "reverse-auction" or whatever you have named it. Then users of the site can add content using
