Hi there,

I'm enjoying learning how OctoberCMS but have a few questions after poking around through the docs. Hope some can be answered :)

1. I have a front-end form for users to fill out and backend list/form for admins to manage. I am using components for front-end and using the lists for backend. I want a form in the users front-end interface that sends to email on form completion and also sends custom data to the database in the backend. The data send to the backend will be generated and not the form data (think random reference ID, requested by {{ user }} etc) What is the best approach for this?

2. I have 2 controllers that want to use the same modal. However one controller is looking for the model identical to its name so its not loading the page. Is this the wrong way to do it? If so can I have domain.com/admin/acme/tickets/ and domain.com/admin/acme/tickets/statistics - where I am building the statistics page in the backend. Not sure how to do this.

3. Why is "$this->asExtension('ListController')->index();" needed when creating public function index() in the controller?

Thankyou in advance.
