Hello,

I have built a site using cmsbuilder and have a blog area. My client would like to allow members of a tour to be able to add their own blog posts but they are not published until authorized by an editor for example.

Is this possible?

Thanks Jono

Hi,

I have done the items you have suggested and the blog item still shows - how do I get it so that it doesn't show?

Do I set up an 'if' php command to not show it unless the tick is gone?

Thanks Jono

the hidden field (lower case) is a special field that automatically works to hide a record if it's checked.

Do the existing records that are showing on the site have the box checked (hidden) or unchecked (visible)? You may have to go in and manually check them if they already exist.

What version of the program are you using?

Hope that gets you going.

Hi Jerry,

I am using v2.0.

I can't find a hidden field - I can add a check box and click the admin only box?

You have to create the checkbox field in your section editor, with the name hidden.

Here's the link to the "Special Field" doc on the Interactive tools site
