I'm looking to include custom forms on my site so that users can post uniform data for certain categories.

What would be the best way to tackle this? Would I need to create an entire plugin for a new composer, just make a custom .tpl file, etc.?

Looking for any suggestions or help! Attached are a few mockups of the form from an older website-

Hello, I modified the post.tpl to my liking and added some more elements and stuff. When I use composer to make a new post in a topic, it works just fine, I get the post.tpl I modified, but when I try to edit any of the posts in the topic, it looks like the default post.tpl file. What am I doing wrong here?

Similar to something like  or , is there some variable I can check in my .tpl file to see which category or subcategory I'm in? I'm building out a custom composer that changes based on where the topic is being posted. For instance, it would know that I'm currently in the "NodeBB Plugins" category and display a particular part of my .tpl file, otherwise it wouldn't.
