Sorry for the long title, but this does two things.
I wanted it to be easy for those submitting content as possible, so I made it so they will not have to got to the Publishing tab and change to Published and check Show On Frontpage.
go to www/components/com_content_content.php
find:
Code:
} else {
$row->sectionid = $sectionid;
$row->version = 0;
$row->state = 0;
$row->ordering = 0;
$row->images = array();
$row->publish_up = date( 'Y-m-d', time() );
$row->publish_down = 'Never';
$row->creator = 0;
$row->modifier = 0;
$row->frontpage = 0;
} change to:
Code:
} else {
$row->sectionid = $sectionid;
$row->version = 0;
$row->state = 1;
$row->ordering = 0;
$row->images = array();
$row->publish_up = date( 'Y-m-d', time() );
$row->publish_down = 'Never';
$row->creator = 0;
$row->modifier = 0;
$row->frontpage = 1;
}
