Moderate user uploads

lavapen

I'm a newbie....I've figured out how to activate the registration plugin and log in form and I've experimented adding myself as a couple different users, but I can't figure out how to make it so a new user's album is not published right away...so I as admin can moderate it. Is it possible to set Zen Photo so that I can moderate the photos anyone besides me uploads? I'd like to be able to moderate all uploads. Is this possible? How?

At the very least can I moderate new user album uploads?

Thanks!

The `publishContent` plugin will let you decide if albums/images are published by default on discovery. But most likely this is not going to do what you want entirely.

If you allow the user to "edit" his albums he will be able to publish them. If he cannot edit them he is severely restricted in what he can do.

Most people who require moderation restrict users to an "upload" album that remains not published where the user can upload. In the act of moderation they move the albums/images from the upload album to their final destination.

Thanks! What is required to do what you suggest?:
"In the act of moderation they move the albums/images from the upload album to their final destination."

Thanks very much.

What you need to do to moderate is of course your call.

Create an upload album, mark it un-published, give the users upload rights (but not edit rights) to the album.

Moving the items is done on the edit page for the item. There is a copy/move/rename field in the utilities box on the right hand side of the page.
