 Is there a DNN module that allows users to populate an item database?

For example, users would enter an item, specifications, description and comments--basically users are populating a db for the benefit of the web site community. Ideally the module would also allow users to report errors or abuses for a db entry.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Depending on exactly what you are looking for you could use something like the UDT module, IndooGrid or any other module that provides access to a DB table.  Then you have XMOD and Enterprise forms that could most likely be used as well.

It all depends on exactly how you want it to work.

 Thank you Mitch!

I'm new to DNN and have limited programming experience (actually, the last programming I did was assembly code for an embedded processor :-) I would like a solution that doesn't require any programming customization, if possible, but I don't know enough about DNN and the available modules to visualize the implementation details that are necessary to be more specific. Kind of a catch 22 :-(

On a functional level, I can provide this example:

Martha Smith logs into the site, excited to let the community know about a new tool that she has seen. A page on the site contains fields that allow Martha to enter various info about the tool (name, description, length, height, price, comments, etc.)--these field correspond to a db row. Other users can view all the tools in the db on another page, or search on the basis of any field. If a user finds an error, an abuse, or wants to add more info about a tool, s/he clicks on the corresponding link.

H2O may be of interest to you.  H2O can create a form based on a table in your database that you can then use to allow people to enter information into that table using the form.  You can also specify a custom view that can be used on another page to allow people to browse the information.  You don't need to have your form connected to a table in your database, that is optional.  Full details are on www.DNNforms.com and www.OnyakTech.com

I used the free User Defined Table Module for a project I recently completed. You can set the following permissions within the module setting:

Edit Module   
Edit Record   
Create Record   
Delete Record   
Display all Columns

...and apply any or none of those permissions to each group of users of the site.
