This simple hack for Joomla 1.5 is to change the following two files:

components\com_content\controller.php
components\com_content\models\article.php

For the first comment out some lines around 234:

// if ($access-&gt;canPublish)
// {
// Publishers, admins, etc just get the stock msg
$msg = JText::_('Item successfully saved.');
// }
// else
// {
// $msg = $isNew ? JText::_('THANK_SUB') : JText::_('Item successfully saved.');

// if ($access->canPublish)

// {

// Publishers, admins, etc just get the stock msg

$msg = JText::_('Item successfully saved.');

// }

// else

// {

// $msg = $isNew ? JText::_('THANK_SUB') : JText::_('Item successfully saved.');

// }

For the second file change a zero to one on line 336:

$article-&gt;state = 1;

1	$article->state = 1;
