#27 - Submit content from the frontend

One of the most frequent questions asked in the Joomla forums, especially with today's content moving towards social content, is how to enable users to submit articles from the Joomla front end. By default Joomla only allows you to submit news items, however a nice and free component adds the much needed functionality of allowing your users to submit their own articles to your joomla website - all from the frontend.

JA Submit

The JA Submit component is one of those must have components. It quickly turns your site from a publisher only, to a social content site where anyone who is registered can submit content, with your only requirement from the publisher being the approval of this content. 

It also offers a number of features such as

• resizing of images,
• WYSIWYG editor support,
• multi-language support,
• submission to multiple sections and lots of other great options.

So if you want to quickly enable content submission for your website's users, JA Submit is the way to go. And the best thing? Its completely free!

By default Joomla only allows you to submit news items" This is confusing to me. I am getting to know Joomla pretty well but I have never seen a distinction between "news" and "articles" on the backend. I did a glossary search for "articles" in version 1.0.13 at Joomla.org and it comes up with: Article The new name for Content Item under Joomla! 1.5.x versions. Unless this extension is for version 1.5, I do not understand the difference between "article" and "news". Of course I am still in the learning phase so help me out if needed! Thanks, Rick

DART Creations  - Articles vs News - Joomla 1.0.   |81.133.32.xxx |2008-01-23 15:20:59 Rick, the article above applies to Joomla 1.0.x, which only allows the submission of news items and does not allow submission of any other kinds of articles (from the Front End). More articles will eventually be written to cater for 1.5
