Documentation for Joomla Extensions

With the latest version of the Workflow Component & Simple Content Versioning, you can create a menu item called "User Version Manager" that provides a list of articles created by the logged-in user on the front-end.  This allows your users to log in, and manage the content they've created, access its staged content and create new versions.

First, create the new menu item for your front-end users:

Name the menu item whatever you choose and select that it only be accessible to registered users.  The version component will not allow access unless the user is logged in, but its better to use Joomla's menu system to prevent access.

You'll now have a menu item on the front end that allows access to the logged in user's list of articles.  The Super Administrator always gets access to all articles, but regular users only get articles they created.

Clicking on any article title will open that article in the standard Joomla article editor, as shown here:

The editor always loads the current, live version of the article. If there is staged content, the end user must use the Versions tab to access it.  Therefore, the user must also have access to 'Staged' content as configured in the Content - Workflow plugin.
