CamelcityContent V 2.10 for Joomla 1.5
This component displays a list of a user's articles in the Joomla front end, with links for them to read/more and edit. It is especially handy for editing articles which have been submitted by authors, but which have not yet been published, since these users do not have access to the backend.

The component displays only links to the edit page, and relies on Joomla core components for editing. Users see only their own articles. Editors can see all users' articles.

When adding the component to a menu, you can choose to show published, unpublished, or all articles. You can also select a section, allow article deletion, and show article intro text in the listing. You can also specify a sort order, and users can filter articles by search word.

By default, a link to the help forum at joomla.camelcity.com is displayed at the bottom of the listing, but it can be turned off in the params.

Initial code for this component was based on the sample component from _Learning Joomla 1.5 Extension Development_, by Joseph LeBlanc, (C) 2007 Packt Publishing,

Best So Far for Frontend Workflow in 1.5 by FatherShawn, October 30, 2008
In order to enable a workflow on the frontend so that authors write, editors edit, & publishers approve there needs to be an easy way to collect unpublished articles for review. CC Content fills that bill.

Version 2.0.9 does not display properly in in J!1.5.7 install with SEO turned on. The workaround is to define a temporary menu item with SEO off and copy the link. Then create an "external link" menu item using the copied link. This link item works properly even with SEO on.


Owner's reply:
Version 2.10 should correct this bug. Please let us know, and thanks for reporting it.

Great Extension! by jonhayag, October 27, 2008
Now I do not have to worry about getting the back-end being mess-up since articles can be published through the front-end..

1.5 Native Publishing Workflow solution by goldy68, July 16, 2008
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:
One of the main ommissions from Joomla, and the reason larger sites end up going commercial, is the lack of decent, front end, controlled publishing workflow. The truth of the matter is the individual in the Publishing role is often the LEAST technical in the team, so the thought of letting them loose in the backend is terrifying.

The publisher can log into the front end of course, BUT to find stories that need to published, they basically have to go trolling through the various sections and menus.

If you're on 1.5 and you have editing/publishing teams, then this IS the component you've been looking for.

It provides a simple list of all UNPUBLISHED (or ALL if you like) articles (Authors see just their own, editors and publishers see all) that you can link to a Special Menu Item.

Editors and/or Publishers then simply work their way through this queue, and can be confident that a key news story hasn't accidentally been left unpublished in a quiet corner of the site.

Team up this component with one of the "new story" email notification components, and you have a simple, bulletproof publishing workflow with NO back-end access required.
