Approval Topic

Is possible approval topic before posting it? If so, how?

[Duke]

@terminetor1717 Under the category and the privlidges menu tick "moderate"

[terminetor1717]

@Duke moderate is permission for moderate topic no for approval topic

[baris]

Enable post approval queue in /admin/settings/post#posting-restrictions, the restriction only applies to new users(no posts no reputation)

[terminetor1717]

is possible ability for one category?

[Duke]

@terminetor1717 I dont get it, can you explain the difference? Arn't they the same thing?

[pichalite]

@duke Right now if you enable post approval queue, all posts from new users will be sent to the queue irrespective of the category it's posted in. He/she wants to only enable that for one specific category and not the entire forum.

@pichalite ahhh got it, thanks

[terminetor1717]

@pichalite yes! Is possibile?

[pichalite]

@terminetor1717 yes it's possible but not without writing code.

@baris @psychobunny @pichalite
a new hook in Posts.shouldQueue method could be usefull
Example:

Posts.shouldQueue = function (uid, data, callback) {
	async.waterfall([
		function (next) {
			user.getUserFields(uid, ['reputation', 'postcount'], next);
		},
		function (userData, next) {
			var shouldQueue = parseInt(meta.config.postQueue, 10) === 1 && (!parseInt(uid, 10) || (parseInt(userData.reputation, 10) <= 0 && parseInt(userData.postcount, 10) <= 0));
			next(null, shouldQueue);
		},
		//Here a plugin could alter the value of shouldQueue
		function(shouldQueue, next) {
			plugins.fireHook('filter:post.shouldQueue', {uid:uid, data: data}, next);
		},
	], callback);
};

@andrea-cardinale that's a good idea https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/9a3a5192c4d25fecea0d0002f3892c814ea6380a
