Hi,
Thank you for this great component, it is exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately I do not get it to work properly.
1. The status of four articles says "error in publishing" - but there is no error.
2. When I want to edit an article the html-editor shows the whole page including menus etc. but not the article that I wanted to modify.
3. Is there a possibility to show users only their own articles? I do not want to edit users others' texts if they have not the required joomla permission. Would that be possible?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best wishes
Dirk

Hi,

##) To fix the html layout showing within the editor, kindly follow the below steps.

Steps:

1) Go to file path ../components/com_userarticle/views/article/tmpl/default_articleedit.php

In this file find, echo $editor->display('content', $this->onearticle->introtext, '550', '300', '60', '20', false );

and replace 'content' with 'userarticle_content'

2) Go to ../components/com_userarticle/views/article/tmpl/default_articleadd.php

In this find echo $editor->display('content', $this->onearticle->introtext, '550', '300', '60', '20', false );

and replace 'content' with 'userarticle_content'

3) Go to file path ../components/com_userarticle/models/article.php

In this find the below code

function save_article()
{
$contents = JRequest::getvar('content','', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);
}

function edit_article()
{
$contents = JRequest::getvar('content','', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW);
}

and replace with the below code

and replace 'content' with 'userarticle_content'


##) For error in publishing, the timezone is vary so that the message is displayed. For this,

1) Go to file path ../components/com_userarticle/models/article.php

In this file find the code $start_b = JRequest::getvar('start',null,'POST'); and before that add the following code date_default_timezone_set('Your time zone');

2) After that, go to ../administrator/components/com_userarticle/views/userarticle/tmpl/default.php

In this find the below code $down=date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); and add the code date_default_timezone_set('Your time zone'); above to the line. Kindly replace the text Your time zone with your time zone based on your country.
Ex: date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');

##) By default, user can edit their own articles and not possible to edit other users.

Wow, thanks a lot for the detailled help!
Best wishes
