WordPress MU

I'd like users to be able to register and submit a page under a chosen category that the admin could then go in and approve or disapprove. The site will be a combination of blogs and pages on different topics. Is this possible now with a plugin?

Thanks!

I just wanted to clarify a bit. I want users to be able to submit pages to the main blog even if they don't have a blog themselves. I know they can submit pages to their own blogs if they have one.

If this can't be done, I'd be willing to pay someone to create the plugin.

You could grant the user on the main blog contributor permissions and that would do it...

Thanks for responding. I want visitors to the site to be able to add a page without contacting me first. Then I can log in and approve or dissaprove the pages. Adding them as a main blog contributor wouldn't work. Thanks, though!

I'm really hoping there's a plugin that can do this. I can't be the only one who wants visitors to be able to contribute non-blog content!

I'm sure there is but I can't think of one right off. Have you looked at the plugin list over at the codex?

http;//codex.wordpress.org/Plugins

I looked there but didn't see anything. What's the best way to hire someone to create it?

are you sure you want PAGES to appear below categories and not posts?

if you want users to be able to post, check out this plugin:
http://thedeadone.net/software/tdo-mini-forms-wordpress-plugin

this could be used to allow anonymous posting but I have no clue if it could also work for pages...

wouldn't role manager come in handy for this? I haven't used the version that's been hacked to work with MU, but it's the first thing that comes off bat.

Either that or just setup a contact form and rewrite it so it drops into a posts table.

Gotta admit that I'm concerned for security though.

hmm ... thanks for the responses.

the plugin mentioned by Ovidiu might work in a pinch.

i'm going to implement it and see if it's enough for what i need. if not, i'll be back asking for more help!

the plugin I mentioned is quite flexible and I am sure you can modify it so it does what you want.

basically, you can assign a default user by whom the "posts" are written, aka setup a user that is allowed to publish posts, tell the plugin to take that user as default user, then go ahead and modify the plugin form so users on your homepage cannot input their usersname, and the plugin uses the user credentials you created for the default user.

=> every post published by this plugins form on your homepage is treated as published by the user you created and because that user is allowed to publish, posts are automatically published.

keep in mind that I remember seeing this on the plugins to-do-list: feature to select to which category the post is published... you might contact the author though or change it yourself

good luck :-)
