I don't see any place to set options so that the following message does not arise. That is, I want the post to be approved automatically. What should I do?
Post Awaiting Approval by Forum Administrator
|
|
|
|
|
Visit the permission sets in the admin and change the permission settings for moderation where appropriate.

My permission sets for the forum have been set as below and I got that Post Awaiting Approval by Forum Administrator message. What kind of permission set do I need to make this automatic without requiring admin approval each time?
Guests => Read Only Access
Members => Limited Access
Moderators => Moderator Access

Also, just want to know where do I approve those awaiting approval?
|

And have you gone to the 'Manage Permission Sets' page and changed the settings as I said in post 2 above? That is where you turn off post moderation.
To approve a post awaiting moderation click on the icon at the right of the post - the admin tools. These will drop down and one of them is for approving posts - the top one usually.
|
|
|
|
|
Goto the on-line help and read the 'Admin Tools' section.

I figured the approval section and did it.
But, I am not seeing any where how to change the permission sets to make this automatic. What do you mean by appropriately? I am new to this software, hope you answer in a bit detail.

Well let's start with the same question that I asked in post 5 above. Have you gone to the 'Manage Permission Set's' admin page yet? because when you do, and you open up one of the sets, you will see post moderation settings (2 of them for each set) which will be set to 'no'. After that it becomes obvious I think that you want to set them to yes.

Ok, I see them now, which are labeled as bypassing moderation, which I set for members. Slowly getting used to…

You've got it.
You know everyone should really spend ten minutes and look at all the options and the settings because so many of the questions raised are often handled by an option here or there. The user group/permission sets are pretty powerful in dictating what users can do and are worth spending some time examining.

I am in the opposite situation here. I want the “Post Awaiting Approval by Forum Administrator” message to appear. Well, I want it to appear for guests who I have set to have Limited Access and I am guessing that my settings are correct. I have left them at the default settings. Both of these settings are marked “no”.
Can bypass post moderation
Can bypass post moderation once
It shows the message when replying to posts but not when starting new threads.
Am I doing something wrong?

No I think there is a slight problem with the code. If Mr Papa drops in he may be able to expand on that because I recall he found the problem. I do know we have a fix ready for 3.2..

yes, there was a bug in the permissions stuff that was letting new topics that were supposed to go to moderation end up bypassing it… its working correctly for replys to existing topics but not for new topics… it is fixed in our current 3.2 development…
If I can remember (really need the new 3.2 Watch topic feature) tonight, I can post a fix for this issue…

to fix this in 3.1.3, do the following…
copy lines 194-203 in file sf-globals.php (shown below)
if ($they['Can bypass post moderation']) {
$current_user->sfmoderated = 0;
} else {
$current_user->sfmoderated = 1;
}
if ($they['Can bypass post moderation once']) {
$current_user->sfmodonce = 0;
} else {
$current_user->sfmodonce = 1;
}
and insert them before line 147 in the same file ( in the pageview = forum if statement)
and also copy lines 173 and 174 in file sf-permissions.php (shown below)
$permissions['Can bypass post moderation'] = 1;
$permissions['Can bypass post moderation once'] = 1;
and insert them before line 105 (before the else).
In the same file, copy lines 195 and 196 (will actually be different after doing above step) (shown below)
$permissions['Can bypass post moderation'] |= $GLOBALS['roles'][$perm->permission_role]['Can bypass post moderation'];
$permissions['Can bypass post moderation once'] |= $GLOBALS['roles'][$perm->permission_role]['Can bypass post moderation once'];
and in same file, insert them before line 123 (before the end if statement) note that line 123 will change after you copy/insert the the first lines in this file, but I think you will get the drift of where they go..
