How to show draft articles for front end editing/publishing?

My users can create articles in the front-end, and set them as published/unpublished/pending/draft/in progress

However, if they save an article as a draft status, they can only then edit it in the backend.

How can I show all draft articles belonging to a user that is logged into the frontend?

Is there another component that can do that, combined with flexicontent/access?

hello i didn't thinks it possible because it's a joomla core function .... the draft article is visible in front-end only for super admin .. i think

Hi Micker

Exciting times for us Joomla folk!!

Do you think that I could create a slimmed down version of the backend, without Joomla Admin interface, perhaps using a Joomlapraise or alternative backend template, yet ONLY showing the add/edit/publish features of Flexicontent?

hello with flexiaccess and Custom Quick Icons for FLEXIaccess it's possible

Hi Micker,

Thanks for all the swift replies

So, let me understand this a little bit better -

1)
I install the quick links (I assume that the quick links appear only in the back end, but not the front end when that user is logged in?)

2)
I change some settings in flexiaccess for the users to prevent access to all other components than the ones set up in the quicklinks

3) I somehow disable the standard top down drop down admin menu for the backend so that they aren't presented with drop down menu items that they don't have access to? Not sure how to do that?

yes for
3) you can desactived with flexiaccess
2) same things
1) you can affect display any icone by user type
