Contestant's Profile

Learn how contestants manage their own submissions from the frontend in NorrCompetition.

Registered users can monitor, review, and edit their submitted contest entries through the Contestant's Profile (or My Entries) frontend view. This view is accessible via a dedicated Joomla menu item created under the NorrCompetition component.

Contestant Dashboard on Frontend

Submissions Table

• Entry – title of the entry. Clicking the title opens the frontend edit form (if edit permissions are granted).

• Contest – title of the assigned contest. Clicking the contest title redirects to the public contest page.

• Published – indicates publication state (Yes or No). If an entry has been unpublished by an administrator, an edit lock icon prevents further modifications.

• Approved – moderation status (Yes or No). If the submission is awaiting review, it is labeled Waiting for Approval.

• Link to Entry – direct link to view the published entry page on the frontend (active only for approved, published entries).

Editing Submitted Entries

1. In the contestant entries list, click on the title of the entry you wish to modify.

2. Update the custom fields, photo crop, or media URL as needed.

   The assigned contest cannot be changed after initial submission.

3. Click Save.

If the contest requires moderation for modified entries (Changed or All), the live version continues displaying on the frontend while your updates are queued for administrator comparison. See Entry Data Comparison.
