The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Component had minor issue with JCK editor. Author fixed them soon after my reporting them. New version has been posted, looks like it has same fixes. Photo upload integrated into the submission page is a very nice touch. Keeps end users from dumping pictures all over the place in your folder structure. Would be even better if it had a front end upload component that re-sized the photos on the client side, like ignite Gallery. People that need this simplified article submission are the same ones that will upload a 5MegPixel pic from their cell phone wonder why it is taking so long and think your website has frozen up.
However all in all definitely worth the money.

I needed an application to automate the process of submitting and approving articles from many users (and JE Story did the trick). I had some issues with the mail server feature; however, I submitted a support ticket and quickly got a response from support. Well done. Looking forward to purchasing upgrades to this application.

I tried it on my website. Poor back end.
Crashed my website.

Don't buy it.

Installed it - worked without problems. Had some minor changes and their service was superb - quick, proffesional and serviceminded. Best recommendations from me..

This extensions was exactly the one I was looking for. The customer service is almost 24/7. Reliable and fast service. Thank you!

This is a great component and very simple to install and use... Its perfect.

Great component and equally great customer service.

Thank you!!!

I was super impressed with these guys customer service. I had a little trouble with the installation and sent them an email to which they replied within minutes. Until the problem was resolved (which was an error on my end) they were prompt in all their replies until the final resolution.

The component works like it should! And changes i need was made very quick and fullfill my needs totally. Excellent! Thank you!

I bought and downloaded extension and had some extra needs. I sent an email to the developer and they made some additions very quick and smooth.

Thx very much!

Professional approach to customer service! The extension works without complaints, and all kinds of problems that occurred were immediately resolved by the support. Unless support is working 24 / 7 - just after sending an e-mail with the problem is the immediate response, he immediately begin working on this and on the same day the issue is resolved.
Now, everything works as it should be.

PS: Is the creator of these extensions sometimes goes to sleep? :)

I was looking for this thing for a long time. I wanted to give my users access to submit the article from front end with file upload option.

The component is effective, easy and very cost-effective. I also love the "Almost 24x7 support from the developer.

Nice work , carry on
Regards

Pros:
* The component functioned as promised, allowing unregistered users to submit content from the front end.
* Captcha also functioned
Cons:
* For my site (Running J 1.5.21 with the Afterburner template) the component seemed to modify the look and feel of the site, changing the font-end color scheme instead of letting the template's CSS do its job. It's one thing to fight formatting with a free component, but another to fight with formatting on a commercial component.
* There are mis-spellings in the component that must be fixed at the code level, not the back-end configuration level.

Simply and to the point. Good tool and worth the money. Tip" Be sure to go to the menu section to make the form visible (by linking to it).

I needed something for any user on the site to submit a full story and pick a category to submit a story to. I looked and blogging tools and none of them were the simple solution I needed.
This fit the bill perfect! From the front end any user can easily submit the story. (you can set registered or guest - I don't allow guests to post but you could- there is a captcha built in) Then you can receive an email (or set not to) and review the story in the articles. Simply publish or don't. That easy!
This will be a great addition to my site allowing users to interact in an entire new way than just the JomSocial community I have as all users and even guest can read the stories, encouraging them to join my community. Not only the user experience, but the articles publish as regular Joomla! articles which means as your users publish stories they simply add to SEO on your site by writing content for you!
Since it posts to standard articles, just enable Jcomments or Jomcomment for the categories and you then you have a great system!
Setup is a breeze and the support is great. They were very responsive and quick. I needed a few things done and they even modified the extension to suit my needs.
Thanks for this great extension!

This is a great extension that allows guest to submit articles. It uses a wysiwyg editor, allows user to choose the section and category, or you can limit the section and/or category, it allows them to upload as many images as they want. The support is great, I had some problems integrating with my site and I always got an immendiate response to my emails and questions. Of course my biggest problem ended up being with my host and not this extension, once I reset my file permissions though it worked.

Exactly what I was looking for. Let the users submit content, and then the admin has to aproove it. Good support as well.

Totally Customizable! Conquered many problems with this extension. I needed a submit system that was flexible and configurable, and still simple enough to modify (with my limited programming skills) so that it would work closely with CB and with a separate "reccommend this article" extension.

JE Story Submit filled the bill perfectly. Now I have hundreds of users submitting their stories and referring their friends to the site.

I contacted the developer for some quick assistance, and was satisfied instantly. Great job to the team at "JoomlaExtensions"

Since I depend on this software so much, allow me to offer an idea for further enhancement. What about moving the configuration options to the menu assignment instead of the component. This way it will be easier to create many different submit links for different sections/categories, with different admin emails and user messages.

again, Two Thumbs Up!

The options aren't very customizable and anyone with a smaller content column will will have styling conflicts with TinyMCE. A definite waste of $20 (which the author refuses to refund).

JMyLife is highly recommended over this.

The users signed up with standard "Registered" group can't submit content. Only users with "Super Administrator"

I needed an extension that would allow users to submit articles. I tried a number of free extensions, none worked and had no support. I tried a couple of CCK apps but they were very complex and again, no support.

I found JE Story and adapted it to use as a user submitted knowledge base extension. Had a minor glitch (self inflicted as it turns out) and support found my issue and got me going. This extesion is simple, does what it says and comes with great support.

The thing I like about this extension is that although it was designed as a story submitter, it can be easily used for other things. Free is great but the free stuff I tried didn't work. This one is a tad pricey but it works, works well and came with first rate support. Combine those together and it is easily worth the money.
