Registered Users cannot submit articles.

Hello all!
I´m having a bit of truble figuring out how to avoid anyone writing except the administrators...
I want to show the articles only to registered users... but I want to avoid registered users to write anything also.
Can I do that with Geeklog? I thing I can... I only don´t know how...
Your help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

You could hide the "contribute" link, but Geeklog will not prevent anyone from submitting an article if they go directly to the submit.php.

How about removing submit.php at all? If nobody's allowed to write except administrators then this file is dispensable.

Rosamunda, I glanced thru the config.php file for 1.3.11, and found this:
// +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS |
// | |
// | These are other various Geeklog settings. The defaults should work OK |
// | for most situations. |
// +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// this lets you select which functions are available for registered users only
$_CONF['loginrequired'] = 0; // all of them, if set to 1 will override all else
$_CONF['submitloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['commentsloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['linksloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['pollsloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['calendarloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['statsloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['searchloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['profileloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['emailuserloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['emailstoryloginrequired'] = 0;
I haven't tried these, perhaps this will let you disable non-logged-in users from submitting.
I'm not sure anything in here will prevent logged-in users from submitting, the previous suggestion of taking "submit" away from your menu and other places is good, although if your users are savvy enough to GL to directly enter the "submit.php" URL you'll still get some.
Depending on your skills, you could rename "submit.php" to something different and that'll cut down on more...you could conceivably move it to a new sub-directory, password protected with .htaccess, and that'd begin to bring in Apache's password-protect abilities on running the script.
As for disabling non-logged-in-visitors from reading stories, I haven't tested this, but I believe in the admin screens for each Topic, you can disable "anonymous" from having read access.

Thanks! I could successfully avoid unregistered people to read the articles.
And for safety purposes I´ve renamed the submit file
Thanks!!!!!

Just keep in mind that if you remove the submit.php some additional features like submitting links or events won´t work either and you will have to clean up the templates to remove the broken links.
Also it´s not because you can submit a story, it will show up automatically as a submission still needs to be approved or rejected.
In addition if you would include a e.g. forum for your users to "talk" you could use one of the available hacks to move a submission to the forum.
Not so sure it will be an advantage to remove submit.php
Still think Dirk´s solution is the cleanest.
