Modify the components/com_registration/registration.php around the 150th line. Change this

Code: Select all

$row->usertype    = '';
$row->gid       = $acl->get_group_id( 'Registered', 'ARO' );
to

Code: Select all

$row->usertype    = 'Author';
$row->gid       = $acl->get_group_id( 'Author', 'ARO' );

In this case I suggest to use Ja Submit:

The above mentioned code should work, many users gave me feedback. Are you logged in when trying to send articles?

JA Submit allows you to set the level of user that can submit articles so you could make your registered users able to submit articles. It also allows you to define what will be automatically published. It does not allow you to automatically promte to the front page however. Thjs thread will show you how to accomplish that

The code provided will set your new users to author not your current users. See http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,2610.0.html

This is a 1.0.x series solution and will not work in the 1.5.x as written.
