How to make a news submisison in joomla

    I'm wondering how to make a news submission thing in joomla. I asked on their forum, and Joomla told me it's in the docs. I looked there for like 2 hours and found not one thing on it. Any support on this you guys can provide? I see in the menu are for a menu for it. When I add it to the menue I get a 404, so what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks, I hope that made sense too.

    Can you clarify what you mean? Do you mean a submit news? Where a user submits news?

    In order to submit news, a visitor must be at least registered. This could be your problem.

    Well, I'm wanting it where they will pick a catigory, and they will type out the news, click submit, and then it will post the news to the home page...I'm registered, and it still was giving me a 404...

    I'm wanting something like www.24wrestling.com and they use cutenews if I'm not mistaking(I remember a while back digging though their source and found it some how) hope that helps.

    My site link is as follows: www.wrestlingsource.co.cc/main

    Nothing special right now though, as I want to get this solved so I can get it going first...

    Also, what about something that posts news to the site like from an rss...do I need permission and such? Will it just post a few words and link back? I don't mind linking back, I just want the full news post....

    set the registered user to one of these group

    Author Group: these users are given access to submit new content and edit their own content items/pages by logging into the Front-end.

    Editor Group: these users are given access to submit and edit any content by logging into the Front-end.

    Publishers Group: these users are given access to submit, edit and publish any content by logging into the Front-end.

    Hi there, there's nowhere to register or a link for submitting news. If you could make these available I can look into it further.

    OK, I had made a menu item for register. When you register the edit account and post news shows up. I did, however, figure out why I was getting a 404 thanks to the guy above you other then myself.

    I want to make the post news link only show up for people who have access to this. Is that possible?
