Shack Article Manager is one of the new extensions we released at Joomlashack in 2020.
Shack Article Manager is perfect for sites that don't want to allow users into the Joomla administrator area. You can allow users to write, edit, publish and manage articles from the frontend of Joomla sites.
I say this extension is "new", but the base of Shack Article Manager has been around since Joomla 1.5. The original version was called "User Article Manager" and it was really popular in early Joomla versions. Because so many Joomlashack users asked us to adopt this extension, we eventually agreed to take it onboard at Joomlashack.
Rod Martin and the team at OSTraining were kind enough to create a video introducing the features of Shack Article Manager.
