This is about (front end) creating / editing an article. I have been looking for a way to save (apply changes) in Joomla's front end for a really long time. What I needed was just a button which would let me save changes without redirecting somewhere else... Recently I came across this page . I applied all suggested changes to my page, and it works! On the downside you need to edit Joomla core files, and the changes made to them will probably be lost after the next update...
