Module for approving content

Hi,

Im creating a few directory sites with user generated content. User visits site, posts data into form, admin approves in CMS and new page is created with user inputted data.

Does this functionality exist in a native Joomla installation? If not, are there plugins for this?

Are there CMS's out there that are optimised for sites like this?

Thanks,

I think you can do this within the Joomla panel. Just make sure you're the super administrator, giving you the power to look over any editorials made by others running the site.

 

No, I want to approve the creation of content before it goes live, not after. This is to stop malicious content, porn etc etc

 

no you can not. You need to use a 3rd party extension to get what you are looking for.

 

when user is posting data to the form, what kind of form is it different from comments ?
You can use jcomments component and if your form is different from comment form the you can tweak jcomments code.
hope that helps.
