Default publisher can't publish?

hello all.

I've got everything installed and ready to go, and am now beginning to learn how the frontend users work. I'm stuck on a couple of issues.

1. Isn't a "publisher" allowed to publish directly to the site?

I've created a publisher user and have logged in with it. I'm able to submit a news item, but then I get a page saying "your item has been submitted and is awaiting approval". Isn't the whole point of being a "publisher" to be able to create content WITHOUT getting approval?

2. Hand in hand with the above question. When an editor or author adds or makes changes to a news item, who has to publish it?

I logged in with as an editor and created a couple of news items. Then got the page saying the items were awaiting approval (this, I expected). Then I logged in as a publisher, and the first thing I saw was the item submitted by the editor. There were no links allowing me to "approve" or "publish" this item, simply a link for "next" which took me to the site homepage. Can only back-end users approve content for publishing?

3. Also, I've looked at the whole "allowing an editor priviledges to post of only one category/section of the site". I'd like to be able to do this, and I see that someone recently created a hack for it, but let me ask you this. The manual says that an "author" has the ability to publish and edit ONLY his items. Couldn't I just make all the items in "johns" section to show that he is the creator. Wouldn't that give him access to ONLY those items?

Thanks guys,
Beau

Default Re: publisher can't publish?

I am not too happy with the Publishing ability in the newest version of Mambo. It would seem pretty obvious that a Publisher should be able to publish all content, but who knows what they were thinking.

Sorry I can't really help you, I just wanted to add that I have the same problem.

Default Re: publisher can't publish?

After playing with the CVS version for 4.5.2... it looks as if this will be addressed and every user group will have a full set of can/can't permissions. Now the question is... When will it be a released version?
