The Default Joomla! frontend content submission is found lacking in both functionality and style, Ninja Content has been created to combat this fact.
With The advanced functionality of Ninja Content, your users can not only submit content to your site, but they can also edit,publish,unpublish and delete there content.
With greater moderation controls, you can assign moderator groups to specific user groups
And there is MUCH MUCH More to come.

This extension provided me the control and flexibility I needed to allow certain users to post articles in a category and only that category in which I had designated for them. This extension alone is well work the subscription to NinjaForge. If you're looking for a tool to manage content submission, then look no further. I wish I would have found this first before spending hours on other extension that don't even come close.
Another point to add was the great support I got from Richie and Co. I ran into one minor snag and it was resolved immediately. That was huge; I did not expect to get that great of support, but I did.
Thanks for a great extension NinjaForge.

This is just brilliant - once again the Ninja's provide the community with top-drawer extensions.
I'm probably not using it anywhere near to capacity, but am restricting a particular J! usergroup to only be able to add content to a certain section/category, as well as allowing the site admin to do all the usual article administration from the front-end!
No more concerns about back-end access... this does the job perfectly.
Thanks again Ninjas!

I have been testing this for a couple of weeks.
This is a mod that has been long overdue. The Ninjas have surpassed themselves with this one. Do you have people using your joomla site whom you wish to have complete control of articles, or just their own articles or points in between, and you don't want them going into the back end where they can accidentally do untold damage? Your prayers are answered. I don't know about anyone else, but I have had to devise all sorts of laborious work arounds to half enable what this mod can do on the front end.
In short it gives absolute back end control of articles on the front end. It works perfectly on first install with no issues at all. e.g. Those irritating moments when a client creates an article and forgets to allocate a category, and "loses" their article are no more, same goes for deleting an article, easy peasy - simple pimple, oh the joy! Just the time saved supporting clients who don't have access to the back end justifies shelling out for this one. Add to it all the other great extensions available from ninja for the price of membership, makes it a real no-brainer.
One can even use it as a training tool for clients in how basic joomla works, without initially giving them back end access.
I have tested it to the extreme, it works seamlessly with joom!fish which is absolutely fantastic, as I have to work often in three languages as standard, front end translations no-problem at all.
I have enjoyed using an 'admin' template just for this feature (using the menu item > template) so the client really feels like they are in the back end rather than editing on the page, which if you have a narrow main content area is recommended.
I really can't praise this highly enough, and quite frankly I really don't understand why this is not a standard joomla feature.
It may be in beta, but even as a beta 5+ stars, and deepest thanks to Ninja for making one of the most useful contributions to client side usability I have found since I started working with Joomla. Go get it, you will not regret it.
One happy bunny. =8¬)

This is a simple, straightforward way to set up frontend content creation/editing/deletion/publishing screens with custom access rules.

I have been a member of NinjaForge for a couple of months, owing to some other extensions I needed. This extension, however, is worth the entire membership amount I paid.
If you've used Joomla for any length of time, you'll know what a pain it is to provide an easy to use and customizable article submission form. This does it perfectly. However, the best part of this extension is the ability to FULLY MANAGE YOUR ARTICLES FROM THE FRONT-END!
No more logging into the admin area to delete, reorder, or archive your articles. This extension gives you the same functionality from the site front-end. And, to make it even better, it looks and acts the same as in the back-end. No learning curve!
You will have this extension up and running in minutes, and you (or your clients) will love it! Add a very powerful and professional touch to all of your sites. Get this today!!!!

This is a component that will be added to every new site I create- it's one of those components that you start to think should really be a core Joomla functionality.
This gives a much more streamlined control on the FRONT END for my clients to edit their content. It's similar to the Joomla backend article manager, yet it's simplified and added to the front end, so it's substantially less confusing and much easier to train clients on.
Clients can easily add/edit/delete/publish/unpublish articles/set front page articles, etc... using the standard Joomla layout we are all accustomed to.
Works like a charm, and the Ninja's support is top notch with a minor question answered the same day.
These guys have a TON of awesome extensions as well, all included with the single purchase price- really one of the best deals for quality Joomla extensions.
Highly recommend.

The Ninjas have done it again ! I just installed this component today, but unless I find any nasty bugs that can't be fixed, this will become part of my essential tools for all future sites. Great job.
