Adding New Pod Items

Just load the pod you want to use, and call the publicForm() function. Unless you specify columns to use, all columns will appear by default. 
<?php
$Record = new Pod('pod_name');
echo $Record->publicForm();
?>

Editing Existing Pod Items

<?php
$Record = new Pod('pod_name', $id_or_slug);
echo $Record->publicForm();
?>

Customizing which input fields should appear

<?php
$Record = new Pod('pod_name');
$fields = array('name', 'body', 'start_date');
echo $Record->publicForm($fields);
?>
Each column can optionally be an array of settings. They will override the default settings for the column. Available settings:
  • default
  • hidden
  • label
  • comment
  • input_helper
<?php
$fields = array(
    'name',
    'body',
    'start_date' => array('input_helper' => 'fancy_date_picker'),
    'slug' => array('hidden' => true)
);
?>
