If you want to post something on Universal Hub
By adamg on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 12:15pm
Slight change for you folks with UHub accounts: Instead of having to chose between "story" and "blog post," now you only have to select "article" (you'll also see "UHubtalk" as an option - that's just to talk about Universal Hub itself). Also: While all articles are immediately public, they'll only go onto the home page (and the main RSS feed) after a "moderator" approves them (me, for now, but there are systems out there for group moderation).
If you don't have a UHub account - you'll need one to post articles. They're free and I don't do anything with the bare-minimum info you supply (user name and e-mail; you can also chose to post information about yourself for public consumption). You'll also be able to track replies to discussions via e-mail. But act now - there are only about one zillion left.

questions
I just posted a "Test" article. I assume it went somewhere rather than vanishing completely, but I don't know where. Is there some other non-front page where articles that aren't yet approved go?
Also, I'm puzzled by this on the Post page:

You can see them at

Also, if you tag them, they'll go onto the category pages for those tags (which you can find on the site map, which I need to clean up; lot of empty or useless categories there).
That newish thing relates to version control; Drupal can store all the versions of a post if you do a lot of editing. I turned it on for this content type to see what happens. You can safely ignore it for now.

It would be good to link to that page from the front page. Also, maybe another page could fully display (subject to the usual automatic "Read more" cuts) all recent articles that have not yet been approved, or that have been explicitly disapproved.
Like this?
In the queue.
Yes! the death of Zak
Yes! the death of Zak commeth!
:)
Actually
Most of Zak's posts are allowed by Adam. They are local and while they aren't particularly written coherently, they're better than press release tripe that doesn't try to speak to you (just at you) either.
I doubt zak will be held up too often by this new system, honestly.
Hmm.
Just hmmm.
