I know there are 3rd party add ons that provide various front-end capabilities for Joomla, but for a relatively simple website are they necessary?

This made no sense to me. There's no such option in the user manager. Alternatively, if you were referring to adding an ARTICLE > USER link in an existing menu, I still can't see what you're talking about. I'm interested in providing a link that a publisher can click on to display ALL articles that need publishing, no matter what category or section (or uncategorised) they currently belong to. Otherwise, going off your second suggestion, it just seems you publish only as you encounter them whilst perusing the site (which sounds too random to be true) and the universe hates randomness. I know there's a simpler answer in there somewhere, can you take a crack at this? Much appreciated. @Paul: this is the second time I've seen someone vent their frustration at one individual who's trying to help. Granted there's a bit of a steeper learning curve to get up and running with Joomla, but there's way more complex products out there with worst documentation, ain't fair to be taking it out on guys like Dustin. There's no conspiracy or elitism-by-design at play, just takes persistence (things finally clicked at 12:30am after three/four sleepless nights figuring all this stuff out). On the bright side, you were very nice about it (you should've seen the other guy). Cheers, Harley Hi Dustin,

I am still wondering about one thing: How can I activate the frontend editing functionality whithout having to login in the frontend. I have created a site for a friend of mine and he doesnt need a login box. When i log in as the administrator and switch to the frontend view the symbols for editing do not appear. How can I make them appear? Thanks for your help and best regards from Germany... Stefan Hello Rick,

Something I've not figured out is how to create a new article using front-end editing. Let's say I am building a blog- I use a category blog layout to display articles. I want to create a new article from the front end. Is there a way? Dustin-

I just get a text area with html code in it. When I create articles using the article manager, it uses JCE so I know that I have JCE installed ok. Is this Frontend thing you're demoing a joomla extension or just the frontend capability that comes with Joomla? thanks For some reason, when I edit from the front end, I don’t get the JCE editor.

You'll need to set your user as Publisher or higher and link to a category page in the user menu. A new link will appear below the list of articles to add an Article. Alternatively, you can create a general link in the user menu to submit an article and the user can choose the Section/Category when they enter the content. @starsky – You can publish from the frontend.
