I've done this and I had to search through the Installation files and make the 'author' the default installation status for users who logged in. It's been a while, and I'm not a coder, but it seems that I changed files in the Installation folder. There may have been somewhere else, but there didn't seem to be a way to set this up globally. Maybe a mind much greater than mine could chime in.

Hi Dave! Thanks for reply. If I understand what you mean, it would be necessary to make change in the code before the installation...
Well, I hope someone with a mind much greater than mine too can help
. Perhaps it's possible with a component to manage users? I really don't know bc I nerver used this type of component ???

/components/com_registration/registration.php
look for this line$row->gid = $acl->get_group_id('Registered','ARO');
change 'Registered' to 'Author'
the result will be that all new users will default to being Authors
remember, backup first... don't PM me if something goes wrong

Hello GollumX,
I have a little problem... I can't overwrite the registration.php file with FTP or JoomXplorer! Also I can't change the permission of the file.
Any idea about that?
I read all I found about the JACLPlus component. It's exactly what I need to create a new access level for my users (write, edit and publish their own articles but not the articles of others users like in the default definition for Publisher). If I could create another level called Full Author and change the registration.php file with this one, it would be the better solution for me!
INFORTUNATELY, this component change the core of joomla (30 files) and a lot of others components and modules don't work anymore. :'( :'( :'( :'(
I don't know what I can do exactly. I need to create an article submission section in my site but I don't want to use another script than joomla if I can...!

hi Gerard,
use FTP to download the registration.php file to your pc ... then use FTP to rename the registration.php file to registrationOLD.php
now upload the original registration.php file to your server (after you've made the changes i mentioned earlier)
hope that works... otherwise, do you have access to cpanel? ... try editing the registration.php file in your 'file manager' that you'll find on cpanel - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Apparently you don't have to mess with the installation files if you have already installed Joomla. Great find GollumX. I probably did it the hard way.

Gerard have the same problem? ???
Yes! It's running fine now. I changed the registration.php file with the File Manager. I didn't use it because in several case, JoomXplorer was more powerfull.
I made a test and the new users will have the author status automaticaly! ;D
I think I will use this simple way for the article submission (with the default component). I tried the My Content component but it's not all I want.
Thanks guys! One more time I find... no no... the RT community find the solution!

As actor George Peppard once (pr rather, many times) said, "I love it when a plan comes together!"
