Hello

Most of my ‘users’ have not had the opportunity to learn computers or any type of website work, so I am trying to make it easier for them, and me, :-).

I have a section called Members Only, and the category is Announcements. I would like the club officers to be able to publish announcements in this area, but ONLY this area. Is there a way to do this? Officers are already publishers, I just want to limit where they can publish an article.

Unfortunately, as it stands right now, they would have to select the section/category/publish date/access level, etc. I want to set the defaults for all these on the submit article page, which should make it easier and less intimidating for them, and less worry and sorting out articles for me.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kylie

Since there hasn’t been any replies, I guess either I haven’t explained myself well, or there isn’t anyone around that knows the answer.:((

Probably you’d get more help if you said you were talking about CB perhaps or told ppl the template used or posted in the forum for your template not general questions, we don’t read minds that’s $10 extra :p

I think you would have better luck at the joomla forums

any ACL (access control level) component will do that for you I guess ( as a general tip)
