Content Submit
- This extension requires registration to download.
In the Joomla! 1.5 Core submission form, you enable all your publishers to publish to all your sections/categories. With CONTENT SUBMIT, you dictate which sections/categories your users can publish to.
Do you want your "Teachers" group to only be able to publish to one section? Do you want your "Students" to only be able to publish to another? CONTENT SUBMIT allows you to do that.
THIS COMPONENT DOES **NOT** ALLOW GUESTS, UNREGISTERED USERS, OR PLAIN "REGISTERED" USERS TO SUBMIT ARTICLES ON YOUR SITE, so don't download CS expecting it to do so, then leave a negative review based on your faulty assumption. A user must still be at least an Author in the Joomla ACL to submit an article.
If you are interested in following or assisting with development on CONTENT SUBMIT, please join us at http://projects.dioscouri.com where you can report bugs, make feature requests, submit code and see our roadmap.
If you want to organize your users into custom user groups and hide your CS menu item links depending on their group, check out JUGA. And if you need to synchronize your content across multiple Joomla websites (even across multiple domains) check out SYNK.
Thanks!
This behaviour is driving me (and a lot of people too) completely crazy.
If only after the click, we were redirected to a page written something like.
"Your article has been saved".
Voilá. That's all we need.
It seems the implementations, whether they be commercials or not, had the bad habit to inheret this satanic behaviour of the default joomla article submit implementaion.
For "Content Submit" as well as "Content Templater" it would be highly desirable to have the option box "plugin" NOT shown to the frontend user. See, that would be really smart - i.e. the front end user cannot make changes YOU as the administrater does not want.
Easy as pie and it does exactly what they say it does.
Thank you, Dioscouri!
I'm giving 2Star because the developer tried to do something.
Content Submit has never claimed to allow guests to submit articles. Sometimes it's just impossible to explain where users get their ideas from...
This extension merely fixes the category/section which anyway the user can change.
Content Submit has never claimed to allow guests to submit articles. We're not sure why you thought CS would allow visitors/guests to do so.
Like the description says, in a very clear manner, CS creates "Front-end Article Submission Forms". How do we get any more clear than that? Why did you assume that CS would change Joomla's requirement that a user be at least an Author to submit an article?
Content Submit is perfect for our needs as most of the people who will be regularly adding articles are not 'net savvy' (general manager, board members, committee members). This allows me to let them type up new articles without needing to know what to plug into the technical fields (category, section, ect). They just type it up and click save. Beautiful.
I agree that it would be nice to not have the technical fields show (everything except title/article). That's not a big negative, to me anyways. More of a possible huge plus.
Would also be nice if you could make it where a non-author (registered user) could make articles with it. This would allow me to set up an area for general members to post articles of their own and have control where it was posted to (This feature would -only- be useful if the above feature were possible. Because like said earlier, all someone has to do is change the fields. Where I trust our managers/board/committees, I'm not so sure I have faith in general members)
Again, good extension, works beautifully for our needs.
Easy to manage. Simply upload component, Go to your Menu Manager and link to this component and select your section/category for Authors. Thats it!
Awesome AAA++++++++++
I needed an extension to allow my users submit articles into a section, and that is what it did.
If you want all of your users to submit content, just follow these steps:
1. Install this extension
2. Change all old and new users to 'Authors'. don't worry, they don't have admin access
3. Create a menu link for this extension and that is it!
Thank you so much for making this extension!
It is perfect: I create a submenu "content submit" "computer", the user can only write an article "computer"
I create a submenu "content sumit" "travel", the user can only write an article "travel"
more :"JCE" fits "content submit"
+ i can change the language in French such as copying "language \ fr-FR \ en-FR.com_content.ini" and rename it to "language \ fr-FR \ en-FR.com_contentsubmit.ini"
But as some people have no right to write an article "travel" but only "computer" I use the component JUGA.
So with "ContentSubmit" and "Juga" sir "X" only written "computer" articles and lady "y" written only "travel" articles
I recommend Content Submit(and JUGA, for those who want to manage permissions for users) for the stability of the component and professional support of Dioscouri
The problem with this extension is that although it does limit Author access to certain Sections/Categories - they can then choose to place their article ANYWHERE on the site when editing!
They only suggestion I've had, is to manipulate the controlling PHP...
Hello! Unfortunately, this is the limitation in the Joomla com_content component (NOT Content Submit) that prompted the creation of CS. When a user clicks "edit", they are no longer using CS, but instead, they're using com_content. We're further developing CS as we speak, but we're hesitant to create a full-fledged replacement for com_content... Thanks!
There is no way to let write articles for guests, no captcha, no alert letters sent to admin, NOTHING. This extension not really better then native Joomla submit-from-frontend system.
It doesn't even have configurable options in admin panel, just few in menu link.
Hello! We're not sure why you thought CONTENT SUBMIT would have those features when they're not in the description, nor are we sure why you thought this was a fork of JA Submit (perhaps because they both have "Submit" in their name?). CONTENT SUBMIT doesn't claim to allow guests to submit articles, doesn't claim to have captcha, and doesn't claim to send letters to admins. It only does what it claims to do, which is create a section/category-specific content submission form! Thanks!
It's like putting a 1934 engine in a modermn car.
We have the ini files, why not use them?
Thanks for the review! We're definitely aware of the 1.5 ini language files, but with most of our components, we simultaneously release a 1.0.x version and 1.5.x version. By continuing to use the old language file method (which still works with J!1.5.x just fine...) we avoid having to create two completely different language files for the same component...
And for CONTENT SUBMIT, we should have the J!1.0.x version finished shortly...
Thanks!
