Title: Visitors can submit article ?
Post by: moxys on March 20, 2008, 17:03:42

Hi,

Elxis is great.
I am interested to receive articles from my visitors (unregistered).
If article is accepted, admin can publish it in the category he choose.
Is this can be done ?.

Thanking you for your attention.

I have started my work with Elxis 2008.

The Help is very well made. I use it firstly in French because I am.

My project is: unregistered users (visitors) can submit articles I must read and approve to be published.
Your admin help mention : "Registered users can belong to different user group ... categories front-up and back end". Here, I work with unregistered users (visitors).

I have in mind a link to permit them to submit articles. But in Elxis, unregistered users seems not be able to do more than see the front-end or decide to register to be able to do more (submit with users group permission). Am I right ?.

If I am is my project can be done with Elxis ?

Hi moxys and welcome to Elxis ,
Yes , unregistered users can't submit contents to the system , i think it is for more security , because any one can submit any content to the system , also you know that submission of content can be done with Robots , so it is better that users register in the site before any submission
Although i think this can be an idea for next future release by inserting a CAPTCHA system in the content submission form and let unregistered users to send their articles ...
Also you can use FacileForms component , I think it has a sample form to do this , You can customize it for best usage...

Many thanks for your reply Farhad.
FacileForms is an idea but not very wysiwyg (as I can see on the sample form).
The problem using cms (with php+mysql) is security and lot of bugs to be corrected (you add problems of both sources: php and mysql). It is hard to obtain reliability, browser compatibility,... Cms seems to be the open gate to never finish your work.
And fortunately Elxis is not the bad cms available.

In a first time I can made my best with it but html pages with css can also supply attractive results.
