It's really useful for writers on a website to be able to easily find and manage their articles. With Joomla, there's no central control panel for writers to do that. Fortunately there's an outstanding, free extension called Frontend User Article List which solves that problem. Here's how to use it:
Download Frontend User Article List
Go to the Joomla Extensions site and the Frontend User Article List page. Click the "Download" button.
Click to download the component. The current version is com_frontenduserarticlelist_v2.0b.zip.
Install Frontend User Article List
In your Joomla site administrator, go to Extensions >> Install/Uninstall and upload the file that you just downloaded. Then go to Components >> Extensions >> Frontend User Article List. There's almost nothing to control here except "Parameters" in the top-right corner.
Create a Menu Link
Go to Menus >> Main Menu >> click "New". Click "Frontend User Article List" and then choose "Default Layout".
Give your menu link a name. Also, set "Access Level" to "Registered". This is important because this component will only be useful to people who have accounts on your site. Click "Save".
View Frontend User Article List in Action
Visit the front of your site and login. Click your new "My Articles" link and you'll see a page like the one above. People will be able to manage their articles including clicking "New Article" to submit new ones.
