Tay Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hello, all, I'm hoping to get some suggestions from the tech-savvy Fuwanovel-ians about a special project. I've tried to find solutions on my own, but what I've come up with isn't very good. We're looking to add a "User-Submitted News" section under the Featured/VisualNovelAer/Facebook sections on the main page: The submission functionality needs to have the following features: Anybody can type in/submit VN-related newsModeration/Approval before posting(Ideally) CAPTCHA Does anybody know of a way to do this? I want to have a suggestion or two to give Vax/ilegend, instead of saying, "Hey, could you figure out a way to do this?" They're both really busy, and so having a solution already thought out that simply needs coding would be great. Thanks! Looking forward to your collective insights.

Isn't there a user submission wordpress plug-in? Well, since aeru's blog is powered by wordpress. Then make a category called user-submitted, then get it's custom rss then reflect it on the site? You can actually get an rss base on a category on wordpress..I forgot how to do this though..it's been a long time since I have my own domain and blog..lol.

I should note that the main site isn't a wordpress site. This section won't be a wordpress-based thing. On a side note, we DID implement a submit-news function on the blog : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, we DID implement a submit-news function on the blog : ) Of course I know it isn't a WordPress site silly ~ , i assumed you guys retrieved Aeru's Wordpress entries through rss for the main site (fuwanovel.net), so I thought why not do the same with user-submitted posts as well and use the custom category rss ex: "user-submitted" category. From the Codex site Categories and Tags You can also provide feeds to only specific categories or tags on your site by adding the following to the end of the link: http://www.example.com/?cat=42&feed=rss2 or http://www.example.com/?tag=tagname&feed=rss2 or http://example.com/category/categoryname/feed or http://example.com/tag/tagname/feed Older versions of WordPress used a format such as but this has been deprecated in newer versions. http://example.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=42 You can exclude categories from the feed by using something like this: http://www.example.com/?cat=-123&feed=rss2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a genius. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sent and email to Vax/ilegend/Aaeru about this idea. We'll see what they have to say about it : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatPlayer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Bit late, but if you have database access it would be possible to have it read from a forum category here instead. But that'll be a bit more complicated than a RSS feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
