CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello!

I had a hard time finding anything in the search area concerning permissions for users and also automatic e-mails.  My primary question is:  is there a way for me, as the administrator, to automatically receive an e-mail every time another cms user creates or edits any content?  Basically, I'd like to have a "pulse" on who all is making changes, when, and what they are changing so I can preserve the professionality of the site and catch anything weird being published.

Secondly, and related to it:  is there a way to let users create new content or edit existing content, but then have those new changes go into a "pending approval" status?  In other words, another user makes changes to a page, and then the page gets flagged with a "pending approval" status and the new changes won't get published until I, as the administrator, approve the changes.  And if all this was possible, which would be really cool or might be an exciting potential new project for the developers, is there an internal search feature that could list for me all the assets or files pending approval, so I can see them all in one place instead of having to go digg for them in all the different content folders?

Thanks a million in advance for any help!!

item 1:  notification

Nothing like this exists at the moment but it wouldn't be hard to write something that trapped the appropriate events, and sent an email.

item 2: approval process

I think ted's gonna work on this for the 1.1 release.

I like the idea of item two as well. I have many clients who want to control the workflow of the site in such a way that they have final sign-off on what goes live.

hi calguy1000,

it's been a long time since this post, but just wanted to thank you for answering.... took me a while, eh?

anyway, i also wondered if you could refer me to a place or webpage where there are examples of how to use simple php scripts to trap those events and then send them by e-mail.  i'm using cmsmadesimple 1.0.2 Maui and i see that new "events" section under the extensions tab, but i still haven't fully understood how to harness their power. 

i would simply like to have an e-mail sent to me anytime that a particular user edits a page, or anyone editing a page, if that's simpler.

thanks for any help!!

i was looking thought the forum, before setting up a new Cms site, and this function (auto send email), was something i would like to use too.
Are there any tutorials or so available?
Thanks!

Hello,

This is related to having content that has been added/edited go into a "pending approval" status to be approved by an administrator.

Is there already a way to do this or does a custom module need to be written?


Thank you very much for your help!
