I'm not a coding expert, but adding ratings to this hack seems like it would be rather difficult. Maybe someone more experienced will be able to help you out. For the time being, I'll look into it, as that seems like a cool feature. |

How does the Validate Articles/Links system work?
How do I know when I have to validate them? How do I know when there are new articles/links submitted? Thanks Max |

97cobracpe, thanks once again Dont worry about stepping on my toes or anything, in fact I feel glad that some of you have stepped forward to help me along. I am very new to php and vb in general, nosedived into this hack purely cos i need something on this on my site and could not find any avail here yet. For myself I too have removed all user submission code in my own installation at my site. I prefer to have my own editorial team send me the stuff and i will load it up via admincp myself. But personal preference I guess, at least this hack allows for more flexibility for those who prefer automated user submissions ( and via validation process ) |

When a user submits an article, if enabled, will require your validation b4 it is displayed in your articles section. To validate, click on the 'Validate new articles' link in your admin cp. You have to check regularly if you have enabled the validation option as currently the hack does not inform you of any new user submissions. If any one can help do an add-on to the existing code such that it will email admin ( like notification ) on any new user submissions, i will be most grateful. |

Braindg, here's what you can do:
In articles.php : Find PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
All done, viewing of articles is now nonviewable by those awaiting confirmation, Coppa users and Unregistered/Not logged in users. ( those usergroup ids - 1 , 3 , 4 ) If you wish to add more usergroups to deny them viewing of articles, simply add in their usergroup ids accordingly. |
