Geeklog Forums

Hello, sorry to ask such a newb question but: I want to disable users from submitting stories, links and calender events, well pretty much any data. I would like to use geeklog for a personal outlet, rather than a public posting forum.. Any ideas? I tried changing these vars, with no effect. // enable (set to 1) or disable (set to 0) submission queues: $_CONF['storysubmission'] = 0; $_CONF['linksubmission'] = 0; $_CONF['eventsubmission'] = 0; $_CONF['usersubmission'] = 0; Am I going to have to go through major modifications or is there a way that is built into the scripting? Thanks for your help.. 3PRIMATES

Well, the idea of a CMS/Weblog like Geeklog is to let users contribute to the site. Hence it's not really supported to prevent them from doing that. The only thing that you can do is to block anonymous users from submitting by setting $_CONF['submitloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['commentsloginrequired'] = 1; The switches you quoted have a completely different meaning: When set to 0, the user's submissions will show up on the site immediately, without going through the submission queue. bye, Dirk

I stopped users from being able to submit stories by removing the "Submit Story" link. The exact name of this link, and how to remove it, varies with the theme you are using. Look in the layout/theme_name/header.thtml file. Some themes have explicit links, other themes call the {menu_elements} variable, which you can modify in the "function COM_siteHeader" in lib-common.php. Good luck,---Kevin
