GT Post Approval for GT Globalwarming Awareness2007 [WordPress Plugin]

Posted on Thursday 1 February 2007 by Fra_T Causes GlobalWarming

GT Post approval is a plugin for multi user weblogs based on WordPress and it works with WordPress 2.0.X and WP 2.1.

This plugin adds an Approve/Reject button for every post visible just for administrators and editors in the wp-admin/edit.php page.

Clicking the approve/reject buttons (as you probably imagine) the posts become accepted or rejected.

GT Post approval interface
When a post is Accepted:
The post is visible in every section of the blog.
When Rejected:
The post is visible only in the Author’s archive.

I’ve made this plugin for us of the GT Globalwarming Awareness2007, but everyone can use it :)

Technicalities

The code of this plugin is full commented and subdivided in 4 blocks:

  1. Installation: Here you can find the function that alters database wp_posts table using the WP API to “do something” on the installation of a specific plugin.
  2. The Loop: Here the code to change post results in The_Loop. It uses a WP_Query Class’s API.

  4. Optimization: Just a function, it use a WP_Query Class’s API to get informations about current posts.
