EXT: News Frontend Feeder¶

What does it do?¶

Let your visitors or users write their own tt_news records on your website. It's similar to a commenting system, but based on tt_news, which makes it easy to generate and style your output – or even combine it with an already existing tt_news blog. I have written a simple tutorial .

The form has a simple jQuery based validation, you can configure which fields of the tt_news db should be used and which should be mandatory input fields. After the user has filled in the form, it can either be displayed right away or go through an authorization process. In this case, an admin gets an email containing the new records content and he can decide whether he wants to publish the article or delete it from the database. The user can be informed about his decision.

Screenshots¶

This is an example of how the form might like. In this case, users can add articles to an existing blog.
