3. go to submit.php code and:

4. change line 21
force_authentication();
for this:
///force_authentication();///

5. change line 120
$linkres->author=$current_user->user_id;
for this:
if($current_user->user_id == 0){
$linkres->author=10;
} else {
$linkres->author=$current_user->user_id;
}

10 is my anonymous user ID, you have to change it.

Explanation:
when you comment line 21, the system doesn't do the force_authentication() function, but it's only a part of the problem, 'cause when you submit the story like that the system doesn't know who is the user posting, so, there appear the "bad key" error. That's because I created "anonymous" user.

Results:
this stories appear "posted by anonymous" in queue news.

I hope that you understand my bad english and that you like this horrible hack...

do you think this will work fine?

Hi!

It went very well until step 3 when the story and confirm form is missing, mays there is some problem with user validation!?

On my site it works very well on step 1 and 2, but on the third step the submit form is missing.

How may I fix it!?

Very thanks!

This is a response to an old request but it helped me start a fix so I am posting a solution here.
in Pligg 9.9 remove the below code from submit.php

if(!$linkres->verify_ownership($current_user->user_id)){
		die($main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Submit2Errors_NoAccess'));

This is what causes the 'blanks screen' on step three.

I have also combined anonymous submissions with the 'pending' solution.

I'm new to the Pligg thing, I'm building a site using the frame work.

I have a few questions about Anonymous Submissions and Anonymous Commenting.

First, what is the current state of these modifications? Do they really work? Are they easy to implement?

I really want the ability for people to just submit news and be able to vote up stories without needing to login or sign up. That's all.
