featured articles was created by Salvatore Oliveto

Hi all, can I inhibit the ability to make featured an article only from frontend for registered users? Allowing to do it only by backend (administrator)?

Hi. I don't get exactly what you want to do. Have you checked the "Allow editing of already published items" permission? This will allow your front-end users to edit items but not change their status ( published / featured).

I would only the administrator from backend, decide if an article is featured, disabling the feature from frontend for registered users

Set the "Publish items" to "No" and "Allow editing of already published items" to "Yes". This way users on front-end will not be able to publish new items or make them featured but they would be able to update the already published items ( they will not be able to mark them as featured ).

...but I want registered users to publish articles from frontend, the only thing that they should not be able to do is make featured articles. This function should be reserved to the administrator from backend

I am afraid that this cannot be done... A workaround would be to create an override for itemform.php and just remove the featured field. Of course someone who knows coding can overcome this, but most users will not even think about it.

First read this getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates to learn more regarding K2 templates. Then you can create a custom template for K2 and alter the output as you wish.
