hi there,

Hope someone can help me in getting the functionality given below:

1. Administrator can create a "Forum/Discussion Topic" from the administration interface of the website.

2. After the administrator created a "Forum/Discussion Topic", it gets visible to all the user of the public website. In other words, the public can now see the "Forum/Discussion Topic".

3. Now anyone from the public can post a "Forum/Discussion Topic Reply" to that "Forum/Discussion Topic", but the "Forum/Discussion Topic Reply" has to be approved by the administrator before it gets visible to the public.

4. Users can't edit their replies.

Thanks in advance

John

Hi John,

1. You will need to create new police for "normal" users:

Module	  Function   Limitation	
content 	  create      Class( Forum message ) Parent class( Discussion Topic )

Module	  Function   Limitation	
content 	  edit 	     Class( Forum message ) Parent class( Discussion Topic )

2. Display only "create new reply" form to normal users. Not edit form.

3. Setup Workflow with Approve event.

thanks for your kind help.

I will try what you said.

Can you please explain the second point in more detail - like how to hide the edit form.

In the meantime please help me in another point if possible.

Here in my website I want some kind of feedbacks from the anonymous users on the article already published by the administrator.

But obviously the feedback/comments has to be approved by the administrator before it get visible to the public underneath that article.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

John, use Approve workflow event. Here you can read more:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/workflow_events/approve

and take this tutorial (present your problem):

In the guest book example, you are dealing with one folder and entries.

Can i do the same thing with the number of articles and their relevant entries.

In your previous reply regarding discussion topics, you said

"Display only "create new reply" form to normal users. Not edit form."

Can you please make this point more clear.

Cheers.

Yes, you can define in approve event section which will be affected by approve mechanism. Lets say you have section News, someone will publish comment in this section then administrator must approve it. It doesn't matter if this is one folder or many, but everything must be around section specified in workflow event.

Check on template level, if user can create object or not then display "Post reply" button.

{if $node.object.can_crate}
      <form method="post" action="/content/action">
        <input type="hidden" name="NodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" />
        <input type="hidden" name="ClassID" value="CLASS_ID_OF_FORUM_MSG" />
        <input class="button" type="submit" name="NewButton" value="Post reply" />
    </form>
{/if}
