Images & Queue for User-Stories - Function questions
Hi!
Since no one responded so far on my other try here I spent several hours on another way to give my users the chance to submit articles with images, introtext, bodytext AND submission queue.
First I created a new group "article posters" and granted them story.edit and story.submit rights.
Now I can put in normal users into that group and they can send articles like admins. Which is kinda nice but I want to have the queue where I must agree to publish. Additionally I don't want these public story posters to have every option available from the admin-editor.
Now into teh code:
- I dublicated the admin storyeditor.thtml to storyeditor1.thtml
- Changes in the admin file story.php:
1) "function storyeditor" (to give the group members an own editor template) ->
{
$story_templates->set_file(array('editor'=>'storyeditor.thtml'));
}
to
if (isset ($_GROUPS['article posters'])) {
$story_templates->set_file(array('editor'=>'storyeditor1.thtml'));
} else {
$story_templates->set_file(array('editor'=>'storyeditor.thtml'));
}
This one checks the group. If the submitter belongs to my new group he get's the storyeditor1.thtml template for his editor. I can modify this to hide & cut out unwanted features, to let it look like more the public one.
WORKS GREAT - CHEERS!
2) "function submitstory" (to enable the queue thinggy) ->
- added "$_GROUPS" to global that it looks like this:
- exchanged
DB_save ($_TABLES['stories'], 'sid,uid,tid,title,introtext,bodytext,hits,date,comments,related,featured,commentcode,statuscode,expire,postmode,frontpage,draft_flag,numemails,owner_id,group_id,perm_owner,perm_group,perm_members,perm_anon,show_topic_icon', "'$sid',$uid,'$tid','$title','$introtext','$bodytext',$hits,FROM_UNIXTIME($unixdate),'$comments','$related',$featured,'$commentcode','$statuscode','$expire','$postmode','$frontpage',$draft_flag,$numemails,$owner_id,$group_id,$perm_owner,$perm_group,$perm_members,$perm_anon,$show_topic_icon");
with
if (isset ($_GROUPS['article posters'])) {
DB_save ($_TABLES['storysubmission'],
'sid,tid,uid,title,introtext,bodytext,date,postmode',
"'$sid','$tid',$uid,'$title','$introtext','$bodytext',NOW(),'$postmode'");
} else {
DB_save ($_TABLES['stories'], 'sid,uid,tid,title,introtext,bodytext,hits,date,comments,related,featured,commentcode,statuscode,expire,postmode,frontpage,draft_flag,numemails,owner_id,group_id,perm_owner,perm_group,perm_members,perm_anon,show_topic_icon', "'$sid',$uid,'$tid','$title','$introtext','$bodytext',$hits,FROM_UNIXTIME($unixdate),'$comments','$related',$featured,'$commentcode','$statuscode','$expire','$postmode','$frontpage',$draft_flag,$numemails,$owner_id,$group_id,$perm_owner,$perm_group,$perm_members,$perm_anon,$show_topic_icon");
}
This should save the written article to "storysubmission" for queue reasons if the user belongs to teh new group and if he doesn't: Post story immediately like usual.
->>> This fails since the "if (isset ($_GROUPS['article posters']))" doesn't work here in this function!! And I've got no idea why. The $_GROUPS is defined in teh libcommon. I tried to juggle with several code pieces, but doesn't help. No idea. The function only ends up in the "else" state: When I put the first DB_save into teh else code it work's perfect and the article is posted into the submission queue.
Question 1: What must I do to make that $_GROUPS work in the second function??
I encountered another problem with this new group. Since I'm as a root-group-user belong to this new group as well, my stories end up in queue mode and stripped editor as well, which isn't very nice. I can temporarely fix this while creating a pseudo-spare-root-user and take root-rights away from myself but that isn't really handy.
Question 2: What must I do to take myself out of a self-created group which I automaticly belong to as a root-group-user?
Thanks for every hint and tip!
