Front-end publishing problems

[carolla]

I'm now trying to set up a couple of users to publish news articles via the front-end. I've got a couple of queries:

 

1. When the user clicks on the button next to the Start Publishing date box, instead of a clickable calendar we get unstyled text but nothing that is clickable. Is there something I need to set up somewhere for it to appear like the pop-up calendar in the back-end?

 

2. If a user has saved an article but not published it (State = Unpublished), how do they then get back to edit it and set it as Published? The only options in the menu are:

• Submit School News
  
• Edit Urgent News
  
• Edit School Newsletter
  
• Edit Term Dates
  
• Edit Announcement One
  
• Edit Announcement Two
  
• Edit Announcement Three
  

 

Is there any way that I could get "Edit School News" as an option that would enable the user to see a list of published and unpublished News Items, or is this only possible from the back-end? (The users have been given "Publisher" access).

 

I'd be grateful for any pointers.
