Do you mean unpublished articles? I think what you want is the setpublish field in the cms_node table (where the contenttypeid field matches the 'vBCms_Article' content type id).
Well, to be honest, maybe you're talking about something different than "unpublished", because I don't see it being called "moderated" anywhere. Were do you go to see articles awaiting moderation?
Really i've never see anything awaiting moderation (just in the database)
but some users request to add articles to moderate to my mod quick moderation. So i think that is there. I've added many things like group and visitor message, picture comment and blog to moderate, all things that i found on the database but can't see anything about articles to moderate
OK, well, all I know is that setpublish = 0 means that it is "not published". Maybe someone else will know if there's another "awaiting moderation" setting for articles.
