how visitors can submit thier article

I prepared a news website with textpattern and need the following options:

1. submitting articles through one user (admin) and option to chose the author of each article from back-end.
2. I need a page that visitors can submit their articles there, but without permission of admin that should not publish.
may be a form with these options: Name, Email, Title, Body, Attachment

any one plz help me,
thanks a lot.

2. You can use etc_zemcontact, a plugin from Oleg which works with zcr in the front end and saves posts directly in the db.

Re: how visitors can submit thier article

i’ve a list of 20 author names (reporters) they are sending me the reports by email, and i’m going to login with my admin user and posting from there, but when i want to publish the article from there should be possible to chose the article author for each …

Re: how visitors can submit thier article

Are those authors already registered in the back end or are you trying to figure out a way to silently register them?

Re: how visitors can submit thier article

As Yiannis says, if the authors are already set up as Txp users, you can submit the article(s) under your account (perhaps as Draft first) then go to the Content->Articles panel and use the multi-edit option to change author (and then do likewise to change the status of all the articles to Live if you previously had them at Draft).

If, however, your authors are not set up as Users you will probably have to use a custom field (which you should probably label as “Written_by” and not “Author” because that might clash with something inside Txp). Then you’ll need to alter your forms to read the custom field value and display that as the author. Not as flexible as having real users because you can’t do author lists from the URL as easily.


The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Unfortunately plh_front_edit works only with registered users

I know, and that’s like it should be. Who would allow not registered users to write articles dirrectly into the system?

Re: how visitors can submit thier article

Hi Colak,
thanks i solved the first issue :-) but there is no any captcha code or preview button, to prevent from hackers they might send more spam … ?
also the body of article, if any one has more paragraphs (entered) all of them become joined one paragraph, any way to come separated paragraphs?

second issue also solved, but isn’t any easy way to chose direct from any article the registered authors ?

There used to be a plugin by Mary upm textile which is now off line. If it still works and somebody has it maybe they can pass it on to you. zcr has companion plugins to prevent spam. Maybe some people here can remind me:)

You can chose the (registered) author in the articles tab. You can select the title you wish to change its author and at the bottom of the page there is a pulldown menu to do so.
