    Hello all,

    Wondered if you could help me with this please

    I am trying to set it up so authors can submit their own work.

    When they click on SUBMIT NEW ARTICLE it gives the usual WYSIWYG editor which is fine, and underneath this is a box labelled PUBLISHING where the author can do the following

    1. SELECT A CATEGORY
    2. ENTER AN ALIAS
    3. SET ACCESS (PUBLIC, REGISTERED ETC)

    I want do the following

    1. SELECT A CATEGORY - Either have this default to the category the user was in when they pressed submit article. OR Restrict the category names that can be shown here. Preferably I'd like it to be forcibly defaulted to whatever category they were in.
    2. THATS FINE..
    3. ACCESS SHOULD BE DEFAULTED AS PUBLIC

    Do you think its possible?

    Any help in doing it appreciated

    Thanks

    Luke
