Create Article Frontend layout

Hi I have 2 menu links to a create article layout and both look like they are not right.
Is there a tip to making them sit better on the page with the text box deeper and not too wide as it is here.
eg.,
http://www.polomagazines.com/recommend- ... businesses

http://www.polomagazines.com/create-article

thank you your help is appreciated

Hi,

Please try adding this code to template.css

Code: Select all

#jform_articletext_tbl{
float: left;
}


I just applied it successfully! Thank You Don Lee!

hi guys

we want our users to submit articles from the frontend. but users that are not yet registered has to register to use the function.

when a public user clicks on the link to submit an article the 'error 403' page jumps up.

i just want the user to be prompted to register rather than displaying the error page.

how do i get either of the following done:
1. when a public user clicks on the link to submit, they are prompted to register
2. allow a public user to submit content.

thanks so much.

1.We just use an article layout prompting them to go to where ever you want them to for redirects
2. We allowed public to access this page in joomla permissions.

Hi Elliot
I've tried allowing that in the Joomla permissions but can't get it to work using J1.7;
also, when you say redirecting to where they should be, do you mean with the html redirect instructions or in Joomla?
thanks

here is the page that we get now:
http://3rdplace.co.za/love/index.php/component/content/?view=form&layout=edit&Itemid=201
so we just want it to display the 'register to continue' and not the error page

Yep. Well instead of using whatever layout you are using change the links layout to a single article layout and write your message to them.
I think you may find further answers in the joomla forums at www.joomla.org
