Attachments for content articles
This component is perfect. It works great with Jreviews, since jreviews doesn't have an attachment tool of its own. I didn't find absolutely any problems installing or running the component. Thanks for creating this very useful tool!

This is the best plugin for video providers, in fact I'm using it with K2 instead of using the All Videos plugin by Joomla Works. This plugin works great with K2. On my K2 powered website I don't want users uploading videos or adding remote video URLS. Easiertube works much better than all videos because the authors just copy and paste the video URL in the article and the video works right away. Another advantage for k2 authors is the ability to add the video anywhere in the article - top, bottom, right, left... Thanks for creating this excellent plugin!

This module is simply excellent. I can show the latest articles on my frontpage in real time without having to mess with frontpage article settings. You have to include this module on a content article. You then select this only article to show on frontpage. I found info on this page on how to do this: http://www.joomlaspan.com/general/include-any-module-within-content-in-joomla-15.php

Tried others but wasn't quite happy. This one works perfect and the latest version with SEF support is fantastic. Simply the best. Thanks for this great module!

Frontend User Article List
Thanks for creating this awesome component! For the next releases I would like to suggest these features:

URGENT - Very important
- Author is able to save and publish article
- Author is able to delete article (not just send to trash)
- Save as draft
- Select Section and Category is a mandatory field

NON-URGENT - But nice to have
- (Built-in) Attachment tool, like the attachment component on JED.
- (Built-in) Image Manager like User Images plugin on JED. Each author has own folder to manage images.

It would be nice to have these two important tools in one place from the same developer. The component becomes complete.

In the mean time, to make author capable of publishing articles directly do this:

Open
/components/com_content/models/article.php

Find
// For new items - author is not allowed to publish - prevent them from doing so
$article->state = 0;

Change $article->state = 1;

You must log in as an Author in order to see the component working, it won't show up for Registered users!

If you use Community Builder:

To make users sign up as AUTHOR by default instead of Registered, do this:

Open
components/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.php

Find 2 instances where this code appears

acl->get_group_id('Registered','ARO')

and change to

acl->get_group_id('Author','ARO')

These simple changes will get you going in no time. This component has a bright future ahead!

Hi rmarques,
Some ideas are already implemented in version 2.0b, and I'll remember the other ideas that you sugessted in a future version.

Best regards and thank you by your suggestions
