Posts validation in frontend

[alexeyk]

Hello, i'm working on an Artist site (Joomla 2.5).
I'm trying the Phoca Guest Book.

Connect here :
http://genevieveherve.com/j/en/componen ... view=login
-user : test
-password : test

Guestbook page : (published for connected only)
http://genevieveherve.com/j/en/guestbook

1) Posts validation
The Artist will not go into the backend of Joomla.
He will recieve a mail when post is send in the Guestbook.
Then he will connect in the frontend and publish/delete posts.

How to do this?
I tried to apply all user profiles to my Artist (to the joomla user).
Delete/publish buttons on posts appears only when Artist is super user.
But it is not Ok because i don't wont him to modify everything.
I just wont hit to connect frontend, then publish/unpublish messages.
I'd like not give the artist delete button, because if he clicks on the wrong button it will be impossible ton repair (if he just unpublished message then it is possible to repair : republish).

The best thing would be to configur this in the options :
User can : publish/unpublish (yes/no)
User can : delete (yes/no)
Frontend viewing option : display unpublished posts.
Mail option : when admin recieves mail (new post needs validation), there direct links in the mail (1 link for validate poste, 1 link for delete post)

2) BUG : Buttons in the form do not use template default style
-look the contact page style (default template style button)
-look guestbook page (no style, should use default template style)

3) reCaptcha
-it would be cool to use default Joomla 2.5 ReCaptcha plug-in settings (public key, private key, style)
-i'd like to choos white style (i already use reCaptcha on contact page, white style)

4) Multi language
It would be cool to have the same posts list in two languages, ex. french/english.

Hi,

1) added to feature request list

2) buttons are not styles (of course this is not possible - to not have other than template desgin), so if you are using some template which styles buttons, this needs to be customized

3) added to feature request list

4) standard Joomla! multilanguage is used, I really cannot imagine, who will translate the content ... if user will paste some content, e.g. in english - who will translate it?

Hello,

1) 3) : OK

2) Default buttons style
I do not understand why post message form controls do not use Joomla template style like in the contact form?

4) Multi-language guest book
It's simple :
-user interface must be shown in the joomla selected language : french or english
-all posts must be merged in the same thread : english AND french
-nobody will translate posts
Why :
Because we will mainly have french visitors and they understant english.
So they will be pleased to read english posts mixed with french posts.
What we need :
-Create French Book : page with french intro text + french user interface
-Create English Book : page with english intro text + english interface
-Merge Books :
.in the back end admin select the books to merge + default language filter(s) for every book
.in the front end the user see the user interface in his nativ languages and messages filtered with the default filter defined by the admin
.in the front end the user can change the default language filter to see all messages or select languages

So if i am an english man :
-i see user interface in english language
-i see english messages by default (default filter set by the admin)
-i see language filters : English Check box (Checked), French check box (Unchecked)
-if i understand french language, i can check french filter to see french messages too

So if i am frech man :
-i see user interface in french
-i see all messages english and french (becaus admin set language filters for french users to see all messages)
-i see language filters : English Check box (Checked), French check box (Checked)
-if i do not understand english : i uncheck English filter check box, and i only see french messages

Is it ok?

Hi,

2) they are not stylized so they then can be stylized by template.css - they cannot use the same style as e.g. contact as they are not located in contact site

Translations: I think this is more a question on Joomla! developers, as translation feature is done by Joomla!
