Submissions approval

  • I’m trying to build a sports league website. In theory, id like to use a contact form to have teams submit player transactions. However, instead of being added to the database automatically (all teams would be able to see it at that point), I’d like to have the admin if the website be able to approve or deny the submission before adding it to DB, in turn adding it to the website n

    Is this possible with this plugin?

    The approach to do this is generally:
    – You buy the Editor extension
    – You allow people to submit, it goes into the DB
    – With the Editor you add a column to the results in the DB call “Approved”
    – Wherever you display the results using a CFDB short code, you add to the short code filter=”Approved=y” so it only shows approved entries
    – When the Admin wants to approve an entry, he edits the cell in the Approved column, entering “y”
