Create Article - Front End

Hey Team,

Once a user is logged in, I'd like them to be able to click on the "Create Article" link and add their content. The problem is it's not adding them as K2 items. They're being added as a regular joomla article. All my categories are set up in K2 and I'd like people to be able to add comments, rate, etc...all the features that come with K2.

Any way to change it so the "Create Article" link directs them to adding a K2 item instead?

Appreciate any help I can get.

Feel like such a Noob....It was under user menu. Off to go laugh at myself in the mirror.

Hi

Do not worry. I had the exact same problem while ago Ok. I'm closing this thread now.

where under user menu. i'm a bigger noob.

Hi

In joomla panel user menu under permissions where is says about creating articles for registered users:

@teitbite

I'm a little confused. I was able to find the settings which you attached in the picture, and I assumed that changing Create to Allowed is what you were suggesting. But, whenever I use the Front-End to create an article it still creates a Joomla article not a K2 item. Is it even possible to make the Create Article button link to a K2 item editor? The original poster JoeAnt seems to think it is.

thank you for your response

I'm having a little success by configuring K2 User Groups, but I still dont know how to create a K2 item on the front-end.


thanks

Hi

Ok. I missunderstood You. To have a place for creating new item You need to add a new menu option with type "Item edit form".

@teitbite

thanks for the tip, that worked creating a new menu item.

I started new topic about integrating the New K2 Item into the "My Account" menu which displays after logging in.

I would like to add "Create K2 Item" under the "Create Article" in the attached photo above.

reply here or at the new topic if you can.

again, thank you for your time

Hi

You need to edit /html/mod_login/default.php file there You will find a layout from screen above. You should see links to profile options there so adding a new option should be simple.
