Front-End Article Manager - Article Creator Module

A standalone native Front-End Article Creator Module for Joomla 1.5x

The article creator is a module that let you create articles from front-end. The module simply creates a "new article" button on top of your site (or any other position you'd like). When the button is pushed, a new article appears on the current page (the current category). No fuss,no mess. The module has custom access settings based on groups or user IDs. This means that you can choose to show the buttons to the users or user group you want.


The features of the Article Creator Module:

* Users can create articles from Front.
* Custom settings based on group ID or user ID.
* Custom settings for setting default Article Author, or select from Front.
* Custom settings for setting default publish level, or select it from Front
* Custom settings for setting default access level, or select it from Front
* Custom settings for autloading wysiwyg-editor for new created articles.
* Notify any user (by e-mail), when an article is created.

My client is very computer e-literate so i was looking for a simple solution for submitting articles as a blog style. Came across this fine tool. It's realllllly easy to use and set up. once set up all you have to do is...
login - click NEW - type something, click save - done! also you can delete articles realy easy from the front end as well. click the check box of the article you'd like to delete and it's gone!

It will work perfect for my client.

Also. Benjamin was more than happy to help anyway he could. turns out something within my template setting was blocking the module from working properly - i submitted a note to Ben for help, he jumped in within 5 minutes and solved the problem for me.

Great extention and great customer service.
5 stars easy!

thanks again

This module (as its brother Article Deleter) is a perfect solution for all of you that want users to edit some part of your site "in place". Despite it will be rendered useless by upcoming Joomla ACL, it is by now one of the best way to have user's hand off dangerous places!

Thumbs up!
