browsing Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 I need to install a forum where posts need to be approved before they appear on the forum. This is not a high volume forum - few posts, though higher traffic. There's a pre-approval mod for phpBB, but that whole forum is overkill for my use. I also found Talkshop (cgi), and http://phorum.org/ (PHP). Can I use any of these here, or are there other good choices for me? Quote
TCH-Dick Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Invision (the forum we use here) has a "require approval" option and it can be installed from your cpanel. Quote
browsing Posted April 30, 2004 Author Posted April 30, 2004 And again, that whole board is way overkill for my use. Maybe a blog would be better? Geeklog? On second thought, it doesn't look right either. I quite like Talkshop, even though it's VERY basic and often a pain. Something similar in PHP would be good, but with way better admin tools. Quote
LisaJill Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Textpattern has this ability somewhat coded, but it should be completed soon. Quote
browsing Posted April 30, 2004 Author Posted April 30, 2004 mmm, I need a board type thingy, where the posts aren't expanded (like they usually are on a blog). It should be pre-moderated, open for guests, and some members should be allowed to posts without pre-moderation. And it should be less comprehensive than the really big forum types, in that it won't power a busy forum. Quote
MikeJ Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Couple lightweight ones off the top of my head: PunBB ( http://punbb.org ) MiniBB ( http://www.minibb.net/ ) I haven't used either, you'd have to look to see if they have the features you want. Quote
browsing Posted May 1, 2004 Author Posted May 1, 2004 I've been surfing the net now for an hour or two, and it seems like it's currently down to either Talkshop or Invision. Invision is free on TCH? Like I don't have to pay for it? Quote
browsing Posted May 1, 2004 Author Posted May 1, 2004 Another issue. With Invision Power Board, is it just new topics that can be moderated, or can I hold off on individual posts in that thread being visible too? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 With Invision you can set each forum to be moderated 4 different ways. 1. No moderation 2. Moderate all topics and replies 3. Moderate new topics but not replies 4. Moderate replies but not new topics And Invision is included in cPanel as a one click install. Quote
natimage Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 Invision is free on TCH? Like I don't have to pay for it? Correct! Quote
browsing Posted May 1, 2004 Author Posted May 1, 2004 OK, thanks. Guess it'll be invision board then. Quote
browsing Posted May 2, 2004 Author Posted May 2, 2004 Quick question: Is it possible to have moderators who won't appear to be moderators? In effect moderators who don't want to appear to be moderators to the users? EDIT: Think I answered my own question by reading this thread: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...opic=116724&hl= Quote
whoahorse Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Invision is free on TCH? Like I don't have to pay for it? Correct! Wow... your website is amazing! You are truly very talented! Weezy Quote
