Can a form create a post without having the user edit it?

  1. I think I understand the post fields, they fulfill the feature of have a form that creates a post. What I was hoping for though was that I had a form with required fields and when the user submitted the form, it would create a post with the data from those required fields. Instead, this prompts the user to fill in the post fields separately.

    I think I have enough to get started with the filling of the post fields based on other answers here with some code snippets. What I don't grok is how to keep the post fields hidden so the person filling out the form doesn't think they should write in the post fields themselves. So I can populate the post title and body from code, but I don't want the post fields on the form visible to the user.

    Ideas?
