How do I configure it so that if a user(member) suggests a link or category it emails me(the admin) for approval. Currently the links just get added when a member suggests one.

Cory,

You need to modify the permissions on your Directory category. Remove "Add Link" permission from the Members group, and add "Add Link Pending". This should do the trick

I can't find a way to actually do that...under Community Groups Member Permission Permission type front end: the only option is log in. I don't see a way to add or delete permissions?

Cory,

Directory permissions are managed under Structure & Data -> Catalog. Select "Directory" and click Edit on the toolbar, then go to Permissions tab, select Member and click Edit, then click on " In-Portal". Now make sure that Add Category [CATEGORY.ADD] is disabled (shows red circle on the right) and Add Pending Category [CATEGORY.ADD.PENDING] is enabled (green circle). Then click Save. If you have In-News and In-Bulletin installed, you would need to repeat the same steps for News and Forums directories in the catalog.

Hey thanks!

That seems to work. The only thing now is to get it to email me(administrator) when a member suggests a category/link/topic. I don't want it to email the member.

I have this for category pending:

Add Pending Category User Disabled <-- when this is enabled the member gets an email with a blank body
Add Pending Category Admin Front-end Only <-- admin never gets an email when a member adds a category

How do you trigger an email to the admin if a new link was added for review/validation?
I don't wanna be checking every day, so would be nice to be informed if links are added.

Hello,

I'll look into that and let you know shortly.

Thank you.
