Depending on who you want to see the SAEF (Stand Alone Entry Form), you’ll need to assign the relevant weblog to their Member Group.

In my case I have a form that a registered member can submit news to, but it’s not displaying on the front end. In order to correct this, log in to the Expression Engine control panel and go to:

Admin > Members and Groups > Member Groups > Edit Group > Weblog Assignment

Here you’ll have a list of all your weblogs and you can simply select ‘Yes’ for the weblogs you wish to allow a member to add content to.

Hey presto, your form is now visible on the front end and your users can add their content.

This may only be useful in particular circumstances (most obviously when using ExpressionEngine), but nonetheless it was useful to me, so here it is:

I have a number of Weblogs set up for managing the content on a website. The majority of these have been assigned to a ‘Static Content’ field group, and it’s these weblogs that I intend to use as menu links, with the individual posts in the section as sub-menu links.

Other weblogs have other specific Field Groups for their specific content, i.e. File Downloads and News Articles.

So to do this, I used a query to list only the Weblogs that use the ‘Static Content’ Field Group, and here it is:

SELECT
exp_weblogs.blog_name,
exp_weblogs.blog_title
FROM
exp_field_groups
Inner Join exp_weblogs ON exp_weblogs.field_group = exp_field_groups.group_id
WHERE
exp_field_groups.group_name = 'Static Content'

Short and sweet, and I hope it’s useful to somebody.
