about Drupal settings.
Felix Ding (7 points) | Wed, 2005-12-28 14:11I want to setup a community just like yours, but I'm new to Drupal. I'm wondering could you tell me how to do this:
1, everybody can have a blog (done)
2, everybody can post his/her blog entry without approval on his/her blog (done)
3, if he/she wants to recommend his/her entry to the homepage(index), his/her entry will be in the queue and wait for our admins approval (key question, don't know how to do)
Thanks :)

It's not possible in my opinion within the default administration system of Drupal, but you can find workarounds. For example you can install the feedback.module. You can set-up the subject field as "suggest for frontpage". You change the default link from "feedback" to "promote to frontpage". You can also set feedback.module to be only accessible to blog authors through the access control. Now, when a blog author is on a certain page he will have a link to promote that page for frontpage. You will receive an email with a subject every time a blog author wants to promote a page. Let me know if it's not clear.
Thanks, I believe your method should be working, but it is a little bit annoyed to blog authors, isn't it? Anyway, it seems that now I have to make a rule that nobody can publish his entry directly on the frontpage without approval.
And, I still have another problem about Drupal, could you do me a favor to check it out?
what's wrong with my template, or is it a Drupal's bug?
Not really annoying:
1. They are on a page they want to promote.
2. They click a button saying promote page.
3. They povide a reasoning.
4. Click send.
You can't get simpler than this even if it was part of the admin system.
On your side:
1. You get an email.
2. You click the referrer.
3. You read the blog entry and the reasoning in the email.
4. Decide.
5. Click promote to frontpage and send.
I'll take a look at your CSS issue later on. I don't think it's a Drupal bug.
I'm now totally confused about the CSS thing, have a look please:
