Submit Content Automatically Publish and Show on Frontpage

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;
}
