User based content and audience contribution
Permalink
Hi everyone, I am building a fun side project using concrete5 and although I have been using it for three years I am no expert at users and how they can contribute to the site.
The site is basically all about funny dating stories. I need a user to be able to sign up and then submit a story. This can be a blog post if need be.
I have advanced permissions enabled and have created a new group called 'New Users'. I have built a page type 'Story-post.php' and have activated it as a composer page.
Once a user has signed up I would like for them to be able to post a story, they would choose from one of several categories and then be able to write their post. The category they choose will determine what page in the site their post will fall under. For example, horror, thriller, action etc.
I want it to be really simple, composer would be perfect, they would just fill in the blanks and hit post. A user would be able to only edit their own posts on login.
Sorry this is so long, thanks for the look.

Thanks Vidall,
I may give that a whirl. I am open to any suggestions to work this out.

ProBlog has two different types of user blogging as an FYI - profile user specific blogging , and then also user specific site-wide blogging. Main difference being one sets up a separate blogging area for each user account, and the other is more simply all users share the same site structure but have account level permissions for each post. each user can only add/edit/delete what they produce.

There is an add-on in the marketplace that sounds like it may fit the bill:
http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/guest-blogger/...
It allows users to add a blog post, and it gets fed into the drafts for moderation, dont know if it lets users/visitors post under a certain category or not but sure the dev would let you know if you asked.
