2 questions

[kalos]

Hello all,

I just wanted to know if I could get some assistance with two quick issues:

1) How does one make it so that ALL comments require approval before they are made public? I need to moderate all comments to all articles (even ones made the same day).

2) How does one change the colour of the dates on the calendar sidebar-plugin for which I have written. Basically, I would like to change the colour of the dates that are links in the calendar.

Thank you preemptively.

Hi!

1. You can check the checkbox "Comments require moderation" when creating a new entry to require moderation. Also you can configure the spamblock plugin and enter ".*" inside the author name text filter box and set that to "Moderate" to catch comments made by any author name.

2. This is controlled via CSS; there exists a specific CSS class for those entries, which you can look up with tools like Firebug, and then edit the style.css stylesheet of your template.

HTH,
Garvin

Hello all,

I just wanted to know if I could get some assistance with two quick issues:

1) How does one make it so that ALL comments require approval before they are made public? I need to moderate all comments to all articles (even ones made the same day).

When you first create an entry/post, there is a checkbox for "Comments & trackbacks to this entry requires moderation" that will accomplish your objective. You can also set the default value for this option on an author by author basis.

2) How does one change the colour of the dates on the calendar sidebar-plugin for which I have written. Basically, I would like to change the colour of the dates that are links in the calendar.

This question has a good chance of being template-specific... because the template you are using may have elected to use a custom smarty template to display the calendar.... you COULD start by trying this class in your style.css file:

.serendipity_calendarDay .Link {
your style rules here....
}

Thanks for the information! I have changed the settings to automatically require moderation for comments. I really appreciate the help.
