Geeklog Forums

I'm trying to enable moderation of certain sections by a user, how would I go about doing that without giving him access to moderate all of my sections?Also, is there a way to turn moderation off completely?

You can switch off moderation for stories, links, and events in config.php: // enable (set to 1) or disable (set to 0) submission queues: $_CONF['storysubmission'] = 1; $_CONF['linksubmission'] = 1; $_CONF['eventsubmission'] = 1; bye, Dirk

Here's how to set up a Moderator for a specific topic. Please note that this requires that your permissions are set up correctly which means that you may have to fix some permissions on older stories or topics depending on how old your database is (if you started your site with Geeklog 1.3.7 or 1.3.7sr1, you should be fine):

Let's say we want to set up a Moderator for some Topic Z.

1. Create a new group, e.g. "Z Admin".
2. For this group, select only "Story Admin" from the list of security groups.
3. If you haven't created Topic Z yet, do so now. Otherwise, edit it now.
4. Under "Access Rights", assign the topic to your new "Z Admin" group.
5. Make sure that for "Group", both the 'R' and 'E' checkboxes are checked.
6. If you have older stories under Topic Z, make sure they all belong to group "Z Admin" and that the 'R' and 'E' Group permissions are set.
7. Edit the user you want to make a Z Admin and add him/her to the "Z Admin" group.

You will probably want to test this with a new user account first.
