How to auto-approve new submissions ?

nyc2003 · Post by **nyc2003** » Wed Nov 05, 2003 4:06 am

Hello:

I want to have a small group of people maintain the FAQ without having one of them be the admin. The entire FAQ will be restricted, and will require a password to get to.

Is there a way to "Add content" and not need the admin to approve it ?

thanks.

Hi,

you have to edit some functions in functions.php to do this.

I'm a bit of a noob on this.

Hi,

just open the file save.php and look for the following code:

Code: Select all

$db->query("INSERT INTO ".$sqltblpre."faqdata (lang,active,rubrik,thema,content,keywords,author,email,comment,datum) VALUES ('".$lang."', 'no', '".$_REQUEST["rubrik"]."', '".$thema."', '".$content."', '".$keywords."', '".$author."', '".$_REQUEST["usermail"]."', 'y', '".$datum."')");

Then edit this line to:

Code: Select all

$db->query("INSERT INTO ".$sqltblpre."faqdata (lang,active,rubrik,thema,content,keywords,author,email,comment,datum) VALUES ('".$lang."', 'yes', '".$_REQUEST["rubrik"]."', '".$thema."', '".$content."', '".$keywords."', '".$author."', '".$_REQUEST["usermail"]."', 'y', '".$datum."')");

That's all!

worked like a charm ! thanks

one little bug/feature I discovered while doing this, is that if you put single quotes in the headline, then the record does not get added.

so for example

how to 'build' a network

would not be added because of the ' marks.

thanks again for your help.

I know this is an old question but I was wondering if it is possible to make the "auto approval" as a 'Right' in the useradmin section ?

Hi,

this is an option for version 1.6 because we do a rewrite for the authorization.

Hello,
I'm a little bit confused. Is this option (auto-approval) already in version 1.6? I am using version 1.6.1, and I can't find anything about auto-approving open questions in the admin section. Is there a workaround for version 1.6.1 if this option isn't available?

Thanks,
Ned

Hi,

the so called version 1.6 in this thread is now called 2.0.

Mh... is there still a way, to disable the activation-function in 1.6.3? The way from above don't work with this version

thx

BTW: Can I disable the function, to send emails on new topics, too?

Hi,

it's almost equal, look for "no" in the code and change it with "yes". To deactivate the mails, just comment out the function mail().

Okay, my fault - thx. I should read better. I searched for "no" in the functions.php, but now, I've seen, that this should be done in the save.php

The Tip for the mail-deactivation works fine, too
