# News and Moderation
|
|
|
|
All of the code for news is [located here](https://github.com/cppalliance/temp-site/tree/develop/news) and the templates are [here](https://github.com/cppalliance/temp-site/tree/develop/templates/news) .
|
|
|
|
The model structure is a bit more advanced than many aspects of the Boost
|
|
website. All news items inherit from a base concrete class `Entry`. So a
|
|
particular type of news, for example Links, has a physical database table
|
|
named `news_link` that has a pointer type `ForeignKey` to the corresponding
|
|
item in `news_entry`.
|
|
|
|
This allows for fast/efficient listing of all News items in reverse chronological
|
|
order, but also allows for different types of news to add fields specific to
|
|
their type. As of launch, only Polls take advantage of this feature but it
|
|
there to allow for better flexability in the future.
|
|
|
|
## Definition of Published
|
|
|
|
An item is considered published and visible to all users, logged in and anonymous,
|
|
if:
|
|
|
|
- The published date is in the past
|
|
- The item has been approved by a moderator
|
|
|
|
## Moderation
|
|
|
|
If a user is a moderator, when they create news the items are automatically
|
|
approved. This is to avoid an annoying scenario where a moderator enters a new
|
|
news item, then has to go to the Moderation List page to approve it.
|
|
|
|
However, this does mean moderators can publish things easily which might
|
|
for example include typos.
|
|
|
|
### Who can moderate?
|
|
|
|
Users can moderate if:
|
|
|
|
- The user posses the `change_entry` permission to the News Entry model
|
|
- The user is in a group which posses the `change_entry` permission to the News Entry model
|
|
- The user is a Superuser
