Article submission again :/

[videogamemojo]

O.k. I have searched through the forums and found several articles about the article submission process but none of them seem to answer my question.  I am currently running the latest version of TP with smf 1.1.8.  My problem is that under TP>articles and categories>submissions there are no boxes to check to allow groups to submit articles.  No options whatsoever there any help would be appreciated.

Admin>Members>Permissions>Permissions by Membergroup>Group

You have the following with check boxes:

TinyPortal Articles
   
   Submissions are always approved    
   Can submit HTML articles    
   Can submit BBC articles    
   Can edit own articles

Thanks for the reply.  I have tried checking those boxes with no joy.  When a member goes into profile>tiny portal>articles they have two tabs on top, articles and settings but no option to post.  Perhaps I am missing something here, it wouldn't be the first time

The options to post are not in the profile. They are in the user box.

Soooo... What is a user box? Remember this is me -->

[videogamemojo]

OK got the user box thingy, I wasn't using it before.  I have the following boxes checked
Can submit HTML articles     
Can submit BBC articles    
Can edit own articles

With these checked registered users still seem to be unable to post I only saw those options when I accidentally checked the box next to manage articles.  I obviously don't want that since they have access to delete anyones articles apparently.  Also I don't want to use the submissions always approved options since that won't be the case.  Am I stuck using these options whether I like them or not?

vgmojo,

When JP Deni is referring to the userbox, she's talking about a block that you can place on your Forum like the one to the left and at the top here that says User above it.  If your members have the right permissions, they will see links in that user block to be able to do the things you want them to be able to do.  For instance, have a look at the image below ...

In essence, this means that I have permission to do those 3 things and if I click one of them, it will take me to the right place to do that.

But remember, those options do not show up in the userbox for the admin of the site, but will for everyone else. The admin has articles management access.

That's interesting.. I never realised that, been using StormLrd's multi tab block for so long now.

Yes, Stormlrd's multi-user block doesn't use the same code for the user tab as what is used in the user block now.  I've been meaning to do something about that for awhile on my site as I use Storm's block as well.

The current user block will have something like this in it if you have full permissions.
