Creating a new entry when the user is a non-member
Development and Programming
Hi there. I’m building an extension which tries to add a new entry to a channel. But if the user isn’t logged in I get the error “You are not authorized to post in this channel”.
Does anyone know if there’s a built-in way that i can create a new entry even though the user isn’t logged in? It seems like a fairly reasonable thing to do!

How are you currently creating the new entry? The channel entry api?
yep, submit_new_entry()
hey there, did you make any progress on this?
Oh yes, you can do it fairly simply by fiddling with the session. I don’t have the code to hand right now. There is no API for this functionality, so it’s basically a hack which you’ll have to update whenever you update your EE install.
Ok cool. If you find the code could you post here?
cheers!
will try to, but no promises since it’s commercial code we’re writing - could be copyright probs
fair enough … if you can awesome, if not i’ll eventually figure it out 😊
