Hello,
How to configure a new form of submitting articles to such there appeared a list of categories?
In Menu for item submission form in "Basic Options" I select:
"Enable override" - yes
"Displayed categories" - I have select some categories which I want to set visible for submitting an item (not all)
"Submit item in" -- setted to "single"
"Default Main Category" -- setted some main category. Parent of all others, where I want to submit items


I open now submission form in fronntend. In "Category" I will see only my selected categories what is right
BUT
if I open now "Original content being translated" I will see the tree of all categories
An the same (all tree of all categories) I will see if I click on Button "Articles" under Editor - I see all Articles and tree of all categories.

How to configure a submission form in order to display only the selected list of categories?

Thanks

Hello,
these parameters of the submit menu item are provided as a convenience.

The proper way to configure the behavior that you need, is to use ACL

Hello,
sorry, but I do not understand how and where do I made it.
I have opened a "Fields" in FC Control Panel, but there is only one field "Categories", which is used for other purposes.
In "Configuration" in FC Control Panel in tab "Permission" are setting for "Public" or "Registered" are setted to "Not allowed" /except the "Fields: edit values"/
In Plugins in "Button - Article" is nothing to configure too.


Or, is it possible to hide this both fields: "Original content being translated" and Button "Articles" in submission form in frontend?
Thanks

Hello,

-- you do it the Joomla way (J2.5):
you edit your categories (usually only the top level ones) and give the "Create" privilege to the desires user groups

the "create" privilege controls which categories, a user group can assign an item to

1. you would should also give your user groups edit-own privilege so that they can edit their articles later
2. if you want the Content items to be editable but you want approve the changes, then makes sure that versioning is enabled and that you do not give publish or publish-own privileges

Regards

Okay. But I do not have some problems with the creating or sending of one new Item.

I wanted to allow the sending of articles for all (for "Public" or "Registred"), but want the list of all the categories are not displayed. As I understand this can be done.
Thank you

Hello,
please clarify you want to let guests (unlogged users) submit content ?

yes you can (in j2.5) allow this
1. make assignments of the user group "public" too, as described in previous post (but better not give publish permission to "public")
2. in submit menu item configuration set the parameter that allows submission by guests
