Content Submit
Content Submit v1.5.0a/1.5.1 on Joomla 1.5.14
A charming little component!

I wanted my 'special' users (author, editor, publisher) to be able to submit content through the frontend of Joomla, not the (to them maybe too confusing) backend. This makes it possible in a very easy manner.

Of course you need proper permissions to publish an article or to edit it.

Some people reported that "it does redirect to the home page without any message, but the articles do go through", but I do see an "article has been saved" message when redirected to the front-page. (different version?)

I did find that a "submit content" link did not work with PHP4 (result was a blank screen) and only changing the .htaccess file to using PHP5 (host gives me the choice what to use) made everything work again.

Small tip: make your submit content link accessible only to 'special' users, not 'registered' or 'public'.
