Reference needed to New entry

Post by rthonly2001 »

Hi
How can I get a reference to a new posted entry?
Let me explain what i mean by my request, lets pretend to follow the process;
1.- A user post a New question or FAQ
2.- phpMyFAQ sents me a email notification like this
"There's a new entry in the FAQ! Please check the admin section!"
websitename: http://websitename/admin_link
3.- I click on the link and I get to a login page...then to the admin area.
4.- Once on the admin area, I have no easy or quick way to access the posted entry unless I dig into the categories and find it by scrolling through the records .
Plus the only indicator I have is the status of active or not active to find it.

So is there a way to have a direct link or reference to the entry in question with out having to list all records in category?

Hi,

I'll add this in 2.8, this is a usability mess, you're right.

Good I'm glad you planned to add such a feature, that will be very helpful for the admin in charge to revise or active the articles.
Meanwhile since I really need that feature,I was thinking to pass the article ID number to the email but there is no ID displayed until the post it's submitted. Would you point me out to the file that handles the posting of the the article and email? Perhaps I can play around with the script to see if I can do something about it on my own. As I said before I'm new to php and phpmyFAQ but not to totally ignorant in programming.

Saludos Roland.

Please explain if this has been fixed as promised, and what are the steps once I receive an email that states:

There's a new entry in the FAQ! Please check the admin section!

I FIGURED IT OUT

1) click on the link in the email
2) click "Edit existing FAQs"
3) scroll on down and there's a red button labeled "n FAQs inactive"
4) click that and you'll see the user submissions!

HI,

we added better notifications in the admin backend. We forgot to add this in the e-mails in 2.8, if you still want this feature, please add an issue here: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/issues
