Does anyone know if there's an articles module of some kind out there that allows the author of an article to be set by an admin when the article is submitted, rather than each article having to be submitted by the author?
I'm doing a site for an online magazine where the editors insist they don't want to have to edit submissions online because they find the form too awkward to use -- they want to be able to have the writers e-mail them the articles, edit them in Word, and then just paste them into the submit form when they're ready to be published. And with any of the modules I've looked at so far, they'd have to log out and in again for every article and keep track of separate logins for all the contributors.
(And of course, they dropped this "We want to edit everything in Word" bombshell on me *after* I'd nearly completed the site and set them up with AMS, under the assumption that the authors would be submitting directly...
)
So... does this exist? Or if it doesn't, how hard would it be for someone like me with a roughly intermediate knowledge of PHP to edit an existing module to allow it? I think it would be OK if it just allowed them to pick from a menu of registered users -- setting up an account for each writer once wouldn't be too big a headache as it would mostly be the same writers appearing regularly.
