Custom forms for new topics in certain categories

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-

@PitaJ I think I found a way, I use client-side on 'action:ajaxify.end': components.get('topic').append(html) where html is the parsed (by jQuery) element I want to show. If there is a way to do that server side instead of client side, I would really appreciate if you let me know And also I don't really get how can I understand what every hook method takes as parameters, when I click on one of them in the hooks list on GitHub, it just show me a line of code, and I don't get what that line means (for example in filters:parse.post goes where there is an if statement, what that means?)

@Nisthar I was not able to get the content of a post by using the hook "filter:topic.get" But i used "filter:parse.post" to do it

@baris thanks, that is exactly what I looked for: var userProvidedCatIds = widget.data.catIds; if (!userProvidedCatIds || userProvidedCatIds === '0') { categories.getCategoriesByPrivilege('cid:0:children', widget.uid, 'find', render); } else { categories.getCategories(userProvidedCatIds.split(',').map(Number), widget.uid, render); } function render(err, data) { app.render('categories.tpl', { categories: data, relative_path: nconf.get('relative_path') }, function (err, html) { widget.html = html; callback(err, html); }); } Is there any doc-site / rtfm for the JS-API or do we have to look at the source to find appropriate methods and their parameters?
