Need CMS for content submitted by anonymous users

Basically, I need a CMS that does not require content submitters to be registered or logged in.

It should allow some random person who visits the site, to be able to post content relevant to the site. I should then be able to sort through the contents submitted and moderate/accept what I like.

And yes, it SHOULD have a spam protection system in place, or have provisions for adding CAPTCHA or Math Protection.

Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

 

Isn't there ANY such CMS?

 

yup.. majority of CMS systems allow this.

such as joomla, mambo, drupal and ezPublish.. these I mention cause I personally have worked with them but I'm sure their are hundreds more..

examples - direct links to where users (non logged in) submit content:

http://www.recipesforhealthyfood.com/node/add/recipe

I'm not sure if you can do something like this with WP.. I'm currently looking into it as I love WP cause of it's simplicity

 

Didn't know Joomla and Drupal allow this! WP sure doesn't, but yes, as you said it is really simple and lovely code.

 

fabriciogr: Which module (if any) have you used to achieve that on your Drupal website? Also, don't you receive spam? Cause there's no CAPTCHA or Math Protection.

 

the site is using the recipe module but what that does is add all those extrafields that relate to recipes such as quantity, ingredients, directions and so on.

all drupal systems allow users to add content it's a matter of allowing it in the menu area. in your drupal admin > menu area add the basic drupal url to add content which is:

yoursite.com/node/add/ < nice url's

or

yoursite.com?q=node/add < not nice url


and no spam as of yet.. though not much traffic neither.. but as you mentioned once that starts i'll activate the math protection feature back on

 

Thanks! I would've replied sooner, but I never got the email notification of your reply even though I had a subscription for it.

 

Hello,

here comes a short step by step guide how to set up those permissions in the Drupal 6 backend. Let's assume that site visitors should be allowed to post content of the "Story" type:

1) In the backend go to admin/content/types and click "Story". In the "Workflow settings" tab uncheck the "Published" option and save.
This way the content that has been submitted by anonymous visitors will be stored in the database immediately but it is not visible on the frontend until you publish it as administrator manually.

2) Point to admin/user/permissions and check "create story content" and optionally "delete own story content" and "edit own story content" for the anonymous users.
The according menu item to create content will become visible automatically when you are not logged in. You can of course rename or reorder it to any other menu.

There's an addon captcha module available at drupal.org/project/captcha.

 

CssWebsite: Thanks a lot for elaborating the entire procedure. Appreciate it.

Guess it's settled then. I'm going to install Drupal as the CMS for this website. Thanks to all who replied.

 

You're welcome
