Worked for me tooo. It rocks!!!!

Hi all,
is this hack still valid?
I tryed to apply at my website, but what happens is I can see the unpublished items, but they are under the category selected when the Editors send items.
I attach a print screen in which is present an unpublished item under category "Serie C1"
I've used a menù link loaded with "latest Items from "Users or Categories".
Please let me know where I'm wrong!!!!
Thanks

ok... seems that is working... What I wrong was I displayed only links... and this hack works only with items that are not displayed in links, but with more info!

I confirm that the fix is working.

Is there a way to see also the articles with a start date in the future?

@Domenico F.

K2 allows you to see all your items when you are logged in, in the front-end and you are viewing your page. This applies also for items with a future start date.

Just came back to loook at this thread, some interesting ideas that I need to try.

Question though, @Lefteris you say K2 allows you to see all your items...

Do you mean on the users blog page? The thing is our site has multiple front end publishers and they need to see each others items, it is also not intuitive to look at a users blog page to edit items from specific categories. The whole ease of use is to say navigate to the place in the website and edit or add your items. i.e. if you want to edit/add news then the front-end user navigates to the news category page and erdits/adds items.

The category pages don;t show un-published items.

I find it a bit strange because native Joomla Articles have always been shown in their category pages and the user can easily spot that they are un-published.

I hope V3 brings back this intuitive behaviour.

Cheers,

Actually V3 brings more than this.
It brings the entire backend functionality in the front-end.

Fantastic news, really looking forward to seeing V3.

Cheers,

In Joomla 3 you usually need to create a Guest user group and Guest access level.

Set Guest user group parent to publish.

Set Guest access level to Guest User Group.

In the options of user component set the Guest User Group to Guest.

I hope it's help.
