Link for Allowing Users to Post Content After Setting Permissions??

Hi there,

I set my permissions to allow authenticated users to post certain content types, but there is no link that guides the user to post their content.

I've looked in blocks under User Login, User menu, and everywhere I thought it would be..

I know this is probably an elementary problem, but if you can help me out I would really appreciate it. I've been fiddling with this thing for awhile now.

Thanks in advanced!

As your question is not

As your question is not related to developing modules or writing code, you have posted in the incorrect section of the forum. Your question is better served in the Post Installation forum. You can move it by editing the original post and selecting 'Post Installation' for the forum, and re-saving.

One simple solution is creating a block and placing the links to the content you'd like them to be able to create within the block. Make sure you set the permissions correctly on the block as well, such as only showing that block for a certain role.

Great idea. I'll try that!

I just tried that solution

I just tried that solution and I couldn't get it to work. I went under:

Content-->Add content-->(then I chose the content type)--> and I copied the URL.

Then I created a new block, and inserted a hyperlink that pointed to the copied URL (I also set the permissions accordingly).

Didn't work. The hyperlink brings my users to the path: /user. :S Did I do something wrong?

For the link are you using /node/add/[content_type]?

Ah. I

Ah. I used:

user#overlay=node/add/(content-type)

Let me try it again.

Thanks again!
