You can't YET. FLEXIcontent 1.5.2 has a raw frontend submit feature that even registered users can use, and in later versions custom fields will be supported.

Hopefully, yes No one knows when this will be availible though. I think he should evaluate what can be done today, not "in the future".

I don't mean to criticize. It is a great component

I really do not see where this "raw content submit feature" is and how to use it.
I have set up a user with "editor" level, added to flexicontent group; has an "Edit" right checked (greyed -> but its upper group is green). No chance to edit anything in the front-end...

What am I missing ?

Or is it the "Item Submission Form" feature you are talking about ?
If yes, does that mean you have no way to edit from the front-end and this is targeted for release 1.6 ?


Thanks

Yes, I was talking about the "Item submission form". It won't let you edit your content, but just create new articles. I heard that Emmanuel needs the frontend editing and submitting feature for a website of his, so it should be featured in v 1.5.3

It would be great to get some kind of time frame for this from Emmanuel. Not an exact date but it would be good to know if it will be out in 1 week, 2 week, 4 months, 1 year?

We need to plan our projects as well
