"Submit content to core Joomla table [1.5]
Hello people. Is it possible with CHRONOFORMS to create a form that will be used for simple users to Submit their content which will go to jos_content as normal content/articles ? "

There followed a reply suggesting that perhaps a plug-in would be created to allow unregistered users to dump Chronoforms data into Joomla core tables.

Excuse me if I missed something, but was the plug-in ever created? It would be fantastic if a tool existed to permit unregistered users to create articles that could get sent to jos_content and then approved for publication by a site administrator. Alternately, is there fairly simple way for a PHP dope to accomplish the above?

Thanks.

I wonder if anyone else out there has dealt with this Joomla issue (no simple means of allowing unregistered users to submit an article for editor/publisher approval) and can provide an example of their work-around. Thanks.

No luck. I'm looking to do the same thing..

I'm not saying this is the best solution, but the problem made me give up on Joomla for the project I was working on. Instead I started from scratch using WordPress, the blogging software, that also works (in my opinion) as a lightweight CMS. By adding the plug-in, TDO MiniForms, you can allow unregistered users to post content that an administrator can later approve for publication. You can see what I did at http://www/stupidest-thing.com

Good luck.
