Suggest Entries .. PLUGIN_SUGGEST_META.. Submit Author/Email

[luckywilly]

Hi (Garvin Hicking),

I saw this PLUGIN_SUGGEST_META in the Advance Options when I edit the entry, just wondering what that is for ? also, I can't seem to find where is the information on who submitted entry to me. Can you help..

Thanks

Aslo, I am using the artistic theme, and the page layout seems to be off, wondering if you know a quick fix for that.. Thanks

Hi!

Thanks, in fact that string was missing! It should have had this content:

"This entry ("%s") was submitted on %s via IP %s by %s."

I just re-added it to the language strings.

About the layout, could you show us your URL? Then I could have a check what might be breaking.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hey garvinhicking,

Thanks for fixing the problem, oh I just actually have fixed the missed layout, I just removed the last </div> on the plugin_suggest.tpl page, because the right nav bars are under/after the page. So not sure if you should update on the code or is it just on the theme that I am using..

Last thing,

Is there a way for me to make the person who submits it as the Author of the entry, rather than right now it is posted by : blank .. Well I mean I can create that user and do a new entry everytime ?

Thanks,

Oh, here is the link to the layout of the page, that I haven't remove the last </div> yet..

Oh, okay Another question/request .. if you don't mind

I know right now for the suggest entry, the user have to click a link from its email to validate the entry in order for it to show up in the Edit Entry form, Is it possible to not have the user validate the entry and have it show up in the Edit Entry, I mean the admin still needs to publish it to show up in the frontend, so the user validating it from its email is an extra precaution of spam , which is good. Thanks.

Hi!

Creating an author for suggested entries is actually not the scope/target of that plugin. It was actually created so that authors are not required.

You might want to use the "User Self-Registration" plugin instead, which will allow visitors to create entries at authors themselves instead?

I know right now for the suggest entry, the user have to click a link from its email to validate the entry in order for it to show up in the Edit Entry form, Is it possible to not have the user validate the entry and have it show up in the Edit Entry, I mean the admin still needs to publish it to show up in the frontend, so the user validating it from its email is an extra precaution of spam , which is good. Thanks.

No, because of spam reason that way would lead to too many problems, I'm afraid. It would increase the Database size for each entry and would create a high maintaining overhead.

So I advise you to use that plugin from above, it seems to be more suited to what you need?

Best regards,
Garvin
