I would like to create a form so my users can post articles but are limited to which categorys and sections they can choose. I would also like the article to be created as unpublished at first so I can look over it and publish it later. I only want them to insert text.
So basiclly I want my users to be able to post articles that I can see from back end of joomla but make the category, section and publishing decissions for them. The reason for this is that you have to make users editors in order to allow them to post and I don't want that plus Joomla only shows me articles in the back end that are saved in jos_content. Any suggestions?
Here is some code I was playing around with:
