FUAL, Frontend User Article List is a Joomla component to display - once the user is logged in - an simplified article manager.
To set it up, follow these steps :
- Download the component and its locales : http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/fual
(see Files section)
- Install the component using Extension/Install-Desinstall menu
- Check that you have one or more user registered as "Authors"
- Check default setting in "Composants/Frontend User Article List" menu. It might be useful in this panel to choose if authors can publish their articles themselves or not, see IDs, chose a publication/archive date...
- For an easy component access, you should create a menu entry with this component as a target. Be sure to make this menu entry only available to registered users. This menu should redirect, once logged in, to the FUAL component page (use the URL in component parameters).
- Once users logged in, a menu entry will show up and they will be able to use FUAL.
This is how I set it up for a specific purpose :
Settings are in "Components/FUAL".
Usage : the author can now access to his articles from the frontend side with more controls but wihtout accessing the backend.
