insert a Not Published record into a Collection using v:create
  • Vote Up0Vote Down michaelmichael July 2011

    I have simple guestbook with just a message field, and the client wants to be able to approve each guestbook submission before it is published.

    Could the v:create tag utilize the Published field when creating a record? Something like:


    <v:create path="club" Published="Not Published">
    <p><v:text_area path="comment" /></p>
    <p><input id="submit" type="submit" value="say" /></p>
    </v:create>

    Try (in the form):

    <v:hidden_field name="disabled" value="1" />

    nope, it is still inserting as a published item. This is what I tried:


    <v:create path="club">
    <p><v:text_area path="comment" /></p>
    <p><input id="submit" type="submit" value="say" /></p>
    <v:hidden_field name="disabled" value="1" />
    </v:create>

    As an alternative, you could create a regular checkbox structure in your collection. Maybe call the checkbox "Approved". By default leave it unchecked, then use a little simple if/else logic on the front-end to only show the entries that are checked/approved.

    Thanks Scott, that is an option, I will do that.

    Ok. I had no idea if that would have worked or not. Never tried it.

    We added a new attribute to <v:create>: unpublished="true"

    This will do the trick for the future.
