Scratching my head... is there a way to let members add articles themselves on Dolphin 7 RC?
can members add articles themselves?
 |
No they cannot. It's kinda of the same thing with the News feature, only the Admin can do that. Nothing to see here |
ah okay. its strange that 6.1.6 allows members to do that but not anymore. It's not a big deal tho. :D Thanks |
As for news, it seems news pertains the to the website. Though why they took out the entire moderator/affiliate system to have people help you with that part of administration is beyond me. They never responded in any way why all that was removed but kept the code in. if you take it out, you should remove all code related to it, otherwise you have a bunch of needless code cloging up stuff. |
I do think members should be allowed to add articles. What's the usecase as to only administrators have this privilege??? I have seen sites like myyearbook.com which allow members to post articles.... |
mickscool I agree. I would add articles feature to my site if it allows members to add articles themselves. I can't see myself busy adding articles everyday. It's not my thing. :/ |

Once I asked this same question to boonex stuff, they answered me that members can post (articles) in blogs and forums. That's not really wrong - anyway, it's there point of view and decision. |
I have decided to use the articles section as a "HOW TO" tutorial section for the end-users to explain users the different site actions like - how to create and upload a youtube video how to record a video comment how to customize your profile etc |
Most "truths" are true depending on a certain point of view (yes Star Wars marathon was playing recently |
Good idea, mickacool!! I might do the same. :) |
Good idea, mickacool!! I might do the same. :) Thanks, I was thinking about adding video tutorials instead of writing them as that would take a long time. Do you know of any good free opensource video screen capture software that let's you do this?? The best I know is camstudio.org... |
No I don't know any yet. I'm using a mac so I don't know much about PC software. :/ If i find a nice one, i'll let you know. :) |

I have actually made tutorials using the screen capture function. Just make sure that you are not doing a FULL screen capture when recording. The reason I say this is because it is had to see what you are doing in such a small video window :) Chris Nothing to see here |

We are working on a new newsmodul with exactly this feature! When an user have the rights to write news, then they can it from the frontend! And the newsmodul workswith sub-categories!! Its still in alpha but in the next few days it can be downloadet for free from http://www.free-dolphin.de Rappi Bezirzer.de, elbrocker.de, tierschutz-community.de |
Jing is another screen capture solution. Jing pro is only $15/year and removes all their logos. My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees. |
