Hi,
​
is it possible to use chronoform to let a user post throu a form?
​
I mean the form would have 3 fields:
TITLE
BODY
IMAGE
( the Author will be fetch by user id )
( the Category will be set by default )
​
And the article would be in draft until admin change status to publish.
​
I would use a DB READ AND DB SAVE. Any other suggestion?
Has anyone ever do it?
​
Thanks!

Hi M.Abletech,
​
CFv5 had an action to do this but I think that Joomla have recently changed the way in which article data is saved and there isn't a CFv6 version that I am aware of.
​
It should be possible using a PHP action in your form Submit event and calling the Joomla classes used to create articles.
