how do members write articles weres the link for them plz ?

[martinmarinekeeper]

morning all or good evening all depending were you are i gues

can someone tell me how to do this bit plz

in smf default i have the staff tab and gallery tab ass addon's
but are using the dibler mc tp theme

i have managed to get the gallery accross my means of having a random image on the left this gives a gateway into gallery on any theme used so not needing the tab accross the top

how can i do the same with the staff
i have tried in many ways this morning ssi and rss seam to be the most obvious but i cant work it out

## have searched but couldn't see anything, or have i now been trying that long i got blinded by it all ##and its so obvious it easly overlooked ?

It should be very similar to do the buttons as the default theme. We have a guide here that tells you how in the default theme in the docs section.

right time to take the plunge then i gues so how i get to
index.template.php file
do i use the cpanel aor can i do it threw the admin in smftp ?

[IchBin]

You could probably use both. I've never used Cpanel to do it though. I prefer using an FTP program to grab the file, edit it, then upload and replace.

changing subject to save threads

anybody tell me what i doing wrong i have opened up articles to all members  but not guests so they can wright and post articles but i was asked how they do it and to be honest i dont know the answer
as i just edited the ones there !?

when they click the link to add-make and article then get a post message box where they would write the article give it a title and submit it.

[martinmarinekeeper]

i think thats the problem they cannot see the link
yet i have ticked all options ?

[IchBin]

The link for submitting articles is only displayed in the Admin Tools block. YOu have to create that type of block for them to see it.

[martinmarinekeeper]

oh right is there a post on how to do that already (just of the top of your head ) do you think

if not how would i go about doing that ?
just pointers and i'll try it if i cant do it i;ll ask again
im learning slowly

[gffb]

In the ACP look in block manager and add a block called admin tools and make sure you give permission to the users/groups that you want to be able to post articles
