Add Items as Public Frontend was created by Markus Thiel
Hi,
I wonder if there is a way for my visitors to add Items that I later on can approve?

This:
<span class="catItemAddLink">
<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:650}}" href="<?php echo $this->addLink; ?>">
<?php echo JText::_('Add a new item in this category'); ?>
</a>
</span>


Will only let logged in users submit Items..

I know there are a few ways for Registered Users to submit unpublished items that you then approve. Do you really want public visitors submitting content without forcing them to login first? Security concerns?

As far as I know the Joomla Core (and K2) do not allow guests/unregistered users to submit content. Did you try searching the JED for a component to do this? Perhaps there is a component to allow guests to submit content to a Joomla Core section/category. Then you can review & approve the content items by performing the K2 Import feature.

Another option is to create a public user account and a module that says "Click here to submit content to our site" and once that link is clicked the guest actually gets logged in as the public user without them knowing. Then they can submit content freely as a logged in user, all without them having to type in a username/password.
