question: IS there a way,, that when a member goes to use the submit news component, instead of a completely clean and non formatted submission page that they can run willy nilly with any layout they want on their submission,,, instead,,, some sort of "template" appears in the wysiwyg editor? almost like a PDF document, where they have to navigate to entry areas to post text and images
This is likely redundant, but you can control (enable/ disable) the various features of TinyMCE/ JCE that are available to users.
To do this, log in to the admin backend and choose Mambots/ Site Mambots and clicking on the editor of your choice. I disable font color control and the ability to choose different fonts first thing .
