Ad approval
Some admins might prefer to manually approve each ad before the ad becomes visible to the public. If you prefer not to allow ads to become publicly viewable as soon as they are submitted then you will need to turn on ad approval by going to your classifieds admin options page under Ad/Listing Settings and checking the option:
Disable ad until admin approves
In some earlier versions the text that accompanies this option might be different from “Disable ad until admin approves”. It should not be too difficult to locate the option that relates to disabling ads until approved by an admin. If you installed prior to the wording change to “Disable ad until admin approves”, simply look for the option that relates to disabling the ad until the admin has approved it and check that.
In admin, I noticed that there are two options with regards to approval of adverts. The choices are ‘admin” and “editor’
Since I have set the site up as a cms site for a client, I need the ‘editor’ to be in charge of approving all adverts but at the same time, I can’t relinguish my ‘admin’ rights as then chances are the client will mess the site up.
So, I have added both into the required AWPCP fields:
[admin,editor]
Yet, the editor is still unable to access the admin backend of AWPCP even though I have added an additional role for him to administer the adverts? Any idea where I am going wrong?
@jenny, you need to enter either “admin” or “editor”. Nothing else will be recognized, including misspellings of either. If you enter “editor” it does not give access “only” to those with editor roles, at least provided it is functioning properly it is not supposed to. What it does when you enter “editor” is let’s the system know that “in addition to” those with admin roles, those with editor roles can also manage the classifieds.
