Ooooh! How much is it worth

With the addition of a new filter – which frankly is a good idea anyway and I will get in place for 5.0.1 – I can do this in about…. 5 lines of code!

Or…. I guess I could tell you how to do it.

Bill him he says he’s Rich

Yellow Swordfish, I’d love to know how to do it. I’m a good php programmer but new to SP. This association is very low budget so I’m donating my time.

And, Conrad, my mother named me Rich. Forgot to tell the bank!

Well as I said I will need to add a filter to the core code. This is done as it was a good notion to have it anyway and a very small task – and that will appear in 5.0.1 which will not be long in coming.

Basically – when the filter exists in the code – then you can put something like the following in the spFunctions.php file of the  theme you are using:

add_filter('sph_new_post_pre_data_saved', 'force_moderation');
function force_moderation($newpost) {
    if($newpost['postindex']==1) $newpost['poststatus']=1;
    return $newpost;
}

This will force the post post of any topic into moderation. if you just want it on a single forum then you can test using:

if($newpost['forumid'] == XX) ...

But – as I say – you will need the filter code in the core first.

Thanks! I’ll do my very best to be patient for this.

core change will be in 5.0.1…

I liked this idea for one of my forums so gave it a try and it does work as advertised.

I used the forum id

if($newpost[‘forumid’]==19) $newpost[‘poststatus’]=1

Which makes every post or reply in the forum moderated.

I wanted to have only the first post moderated and only in this particular forum so used..

if (($newpost[‘forumid’]==19) && ($newpost[‘postindex’]==1)) $newpost[‘poststatus’]=1;

Seems to work fine, sound right to you?

yes… looks right…
