Ninja Content is designed to give you and your users more control over your sites content.

The Default Joomla! frontend content submission is found lacking in both functionality and style, Ninja Content has been created to combat this fact.

With The advanced functionality of Ninja Content, your users can not only submit content to your site, but they can also edit,publish,unpublish and delete there content.

With greater moderation controls, you can assign moderator groups to specific user groups

And there is MUCH MUCH More to come.

Usage Instructions

• Install the component
• From the parameter screen choose:
  • Which users are allowed to use Ninja Content.
  • Which Sections/Categories the users are allowed to post to.
  • What sort of permissions each user group has.
  • Who you want to be notified on content submission.
  • What will be displayed on the frontend
• Now we need to publish a link to Ninja Content
• When selecting your View you have two options:
  • Dashboard: Your users will get access to the dashboard view, this allows them to see there content and if they have permission to add/edit/unpublish/publish there content
  • Submission: Your users will get access to the new content submission page only
