OK, I now have an add post editor window for logged in users *wide grin*
I miss the format drop-down, image button, and link button tho... maybe NewsPublisher doesn’t do that? Will look at the Wiki.
I thought not installing default content and following the tutorial from the ground up would make me learn MODx better. Well, nothing wrong with looking at examples. Now at least I know how to nick code properly (hoisted up a MODx installation with content as suggested by opengeek, thanks again

).
So now it’s back to the old conundrum, I made Ditto show blog post excerpts with pictures, but how to give web users an editor where they can add them?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
