Joomla Article Factory Manager Extension

A complete article submission and approval system for Joomla!, Article Factory Manager offers an approval oriented alternative to the default J! article submit form, allowing webmaster to filter any unwanted articles with a simple and clean interface. Approvers can reject articles with predefined reasons from a specific menu which displays relevant data regarding the article.
