First Post Approval

clarkwinkelmann

CyberGene this can definitely be added. If someone wants to sponsor the feature, it shouldn't be a lot of work.

If done as a CLI command, it's probably around half an hour of work.

Ideally the command would need to subtract any post currently under moderation if you plan to run it in a production forum that has pending post approvals.

CyberGene

I sent you a 10 CHF donation because I’m happy with your dev so far 👍🏻 It’s not to sponsor what I asked for. But if you think it’s enough for the CLI command I’ll be more than happy 🙂 I’m not currently using the extension and it’s disabled but I’m prepared to enable it if spammers got me…

Just got spammed attacked last night. This extension saved me again and blocked all 5 posts!

Every time I get spammed, I take it as a badge of honor that they think my small website is worth spamming 😆

mick41

Approval for 1 user post is a good idea but only the first because the rest to approve the same user is not a very good idea, I think

clarkwinkelmann

mick41 for spam prevention, setting to just 1 post and leaving discussions to auto should indeed be enough. Unless you have some very creative spammers that try working around it by making convincing innocent posts first. But I guess most spammers aren't even aware that this extension is active in the first place.

I think some forums appreciate the ability to set a higher number when the extension is used as a quality filter instead, where they want to moderate new content from users until they become more "trusted".

clarkwinkelmann Hi Clark, is the extension increasing the post counter for new users? My settings are:

Number of first posts to require approval for: 1
Number of first discussions to require approval for: 0

However, a new user created 3 posts and within a few hours later I approved them, but the counter is still 0. Is that expected or a bug? His profile:

jslirola this appears to be a bug in Flarum's Approval extension. The user comment count only updates when you approve a discussion, but not a reply 😅

EDIT: I have created an issue in Flarum flarum/framework3714

jslirola

clarkwinkelmann Next time I'll check the dependencies, I didn't realize that the problem didn't come from here, sorry and thanks for creating the issue. 🤐

clarkwinkelmann

jslirola no worries! It's always best to know about an issue even if it's unclear where it comes from at first. Apparently this was never noticed before, thanks for reporting!

FBI

Ah I see, that's why cannot reply/update.
Thanks for pointing this 😎

@clarkwinkelmann
Is the text repeated?

luceos

Subarist this happens when multiple extensions flag a post for approval. Eg Akismet, First Post Approval, Spam Prevention, etc

Tks, I think I get it, it will show all reported conditions, not just title.

There was an error with the utility: "First Post Approval" Error Double-Posting

My settings

B1: Post

B2: After post

At this point, I continued to press the "Post discussion" button and the post doubled: If Click "Post Discussion" and the post will increase even more

DEMO TEST: https://flarum.khatvongsong.vn/ User: Demo - Pass: 12345678

Note: Number of Acc Demo discussions 0

Note: Number of first posts Acc Demo 6

I checked the Demo Acc and saw: there are 6 "posts" and 0 "discussions"

"First post approval" Notification Widget...

The serious error here is: If you click "Post discussion", the number of duplicate posts will increase

Feedback:

Case like me: Every time it says "You are not allowed to do that", close the editing window. To avoid posting twice or more than once

I hope Owner Flarum fixes this error soon to avoid discussion spam

Boss81

Even if I approve it, the system won't actually approve it either.
And I have only one option, since it disappears from the reported posts section, because I approved it, right?

In my admin settings for permissions, the topic start without approval and the new topic start, both have the member specified.

I don't really understand what the problem is, why it doesn't work.

meihuak

hey bro, can it be used in 1.8.5?

clarkwinkelmann

meihuak I have not received any error report recently, so I don't expect there is any issue. Please try and let me know !

User17

meihuak So for the future. In the Extiverse database, next to each extension there is information whether the extension is compatible with the latest version of Flarum.

Extension: First Post Approval - Extiverse ("COMPATIBLE WITH FLARUM V1.8.5")

Gorm

meihuak I am using it with 1.8.5.

I got some sensitive things with multi admin environment, but in general it works very good.

PS. In my community several users have administrator role. And when one of them check Notices - all another didnt see it. And messages can be lost. You didnt seen attention and post not approved - if you have many posts on day you can just lost it.

meihuak

how can I do it

If you install this extension on a forum with an existing user base, you might want to manually update the first_post_approval_count and first_discussion_approval_count columns on the users table to prevent existing users from being subjected to the first post approval.
