Thread

Hi,

We were wondering if there is a way to create a page with the wiki module but not list it in the all entries template ( without having to hard code the name of the article in the html file ) or even better have it only visible to a group of users? The purpose of this is to be able to review user content before approving it.

All I can think of right now is to somehow use a php function in the all entries wiki template that checks if the name of the page/article contains the work “preview” or something in its name and exclude it from listings.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi away3d,

Thanks for posting to the forums!

The closest I can see is that an Admin can hold an article in moderation, but there isn’t any control for open/close type statuses.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply.

I did play with the moderation feature, but unfortunately, I did not find it useful. First of all, it doesn’t stop pages in preview states from being shown in listings. I thought about creating a page, putting something like “comming soon” in its content, then putting it in moderation mode until the article is finished. Ok. Now what sucks about this is that the updated contents of the page in the preview state cannot be seen in context, but only via admin email notifications or by entering the page’s edit mode. Either way, you see raw text. To my thoughts, this renders the moderation feature inadequate for this particular need, if not useless.

In the end, I installed an EE plugin that is able to detect the work “preview” in a page title and if so, exclude it from all listings. I think this is a very basic feature request. Members suggest wiki content which is previewed and approved by admins. That would be proper moderation.

Cheers ;D
