I am trying to set one topic to NOT allow any stories from anyone but the admin and for the life of me I can't figure how to do it, but to be fair I only have been using it for a week. I have tried all the settings and nothing seems to work, it seems like even base users can post to it.

I also want to make "all users" be able to submit, but not be live until ok'ed in the submission cue, as it is now they go up online! I can't figure out why there IS a submission cue if it's never able to be used... arghhh... help, this is frying my brain.

The submission settings are in config.php. Look for the lines:

/ Submission Settings


Text Formatted Code
/ Submission Settings

// enable (set to 1) or disable (set to 0) submission queues:
$_CONF['storysubmission'] = 0;
$_CONF['linksubmission']  = 0;
$_CONF['eventsubmission'] = 0;
$_CONF['usersubmission']  = 1; // 1 = new users must be approved

http://www.macmentor.org/switch is the place...

I rest a BUNCH of submission settings, I even installed the Group Access CHK block, and removed some access from the all and looged in members, like submitting stories, but they STILL can do it without it going to through the submission cue. (I want access to post stories from certain groups)

I just made a new regged member , reset nothing and he can post without being moderated, sigh, there has to be a way. At least I got the ther set to HAVING to be logged in...

Is $_CONF['storysubmission'] = 1 ? That should make stories go through the moderation page.

Also, on the topic edit page, make sure the group is set to Topic Admin and not All Users or Logged-in-users.

Try those 2 things for one topic and try it out.

Yeah it is, and no. If the person has registered (which I've set to be moderated as well, then they automatically go up. I guess the only way to do this is make a group that has no access and then hand set everyone to it since I THOUGHT I removed those rights with the groups access block I installed, oh well, grrrr!

That's because it is not possible.

You can only prevent anonymous users from submitting stories (that would be to any topic then). As has been discussed about a dozen times before (and maybe it's time for an FAQ entry ...): Geeklog's philosophy currently is that if you can see a topic, you can submit stories for it.

bye, Dirk
