Post statuses
| Status | Seen by visitors | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | no | Work in progress. |
| Pending review | no | Waiting for an Admin or Super User to publish it. Blog > Posts shows how many under Pending review, and so does the Dashboard. |
| Published | yes | Live, once its publication date has come. Before that it is Scheduled. |
Roles
The Omeka S module's roles map onto Omeka Classic's:
| Omeka S | Omeka Classic | On the blog |
|---|---|---|
| Author | Contributor | Writes and edits their own posts and sends them for review. |
| Editor, Site Administrator, Global Administrator | Admin, Super User | Publish, schedule, edit and delete any post; moderate comments; manage categories, tags and settings. |
| Researcher, Reviewer | Researcher | No blog admin pages; may preview unpublished posts. |
What Contributors can do
- Blog > Posts lists only their own posts. They have no Comments, Categories, Tags or Settings tabs.
- They add posts and edit their own; another user's post is refused.
- They cannot publish. Their Status menu has Draft and Send for review. A post they save as published, whatever the way (the form, the API, an AI assistant), is saved as Pending review instead, and the message says so.
- Editing their own post after it was published sends it back for review: it leaves the site until an Admin publishes it again. The form warns them.
- They cannot delete posts.
- They preview their own unpublished posts.
- They edit their own Blog profile (bio and picture) on their account page.
Reviewing a post
- On Blog > Posts, click Pending review (or the link in the email, or on the Dashboard).
- Open the post with Edit, or click Preview to read it in the site's layout.
- Make any changes, set Status to Published (with a Publication date to schedule it) and click Save Changes.
To send a post back to its author, set it to Draft and tell them why by your usual means: the blog keeps no review notes.
Emails
When a post becomes Pending review, the users chosen under Blog > Settings > Emails to moderators get an email with the author's name, the post's title and summary, and links to its form and preview. A post that stays pending while it is edited does not send another. See Configuration.
Previewing
See Managing Posts. Admins, Super Users and Researchers preview any post; Contributors their own.
Other plugins
- When the Audit Trail plugin is installed, creating, changing, sending for review, publishing and deleting posts are logged, with comment moderation, category and tag changes and settings.
- When a post goes live, now or at its scheduled time, the blog fires the
blog_post_publishedhook. See Developer Reference.
