I'd like to add specific item updates to the pending queue, just wondering if pending support for a module can already do this.

The items are not using the pending functionality, but if the title of the item changes admin needs to approve that change before it takes effect. Changing the title can have its own form i.e. the title field does not appear on the update item form but on a separate "Change Title" form.

The item should remain visible and the owner should still be able to update the item whilst the title change is in the pending queue.

Is there a way of handling this using the core pending support?

Thanks :)

The core Pending support is all automatic based on jrCore_db_create_item and jrCore_db_update_item - as long as you are using jrCore_db_update_item to UPDATE the item (from the Change Title form), then the pending should work. However, it's also going to be triggered if they do a regular "update" to the item (not it's title).

I can't think of any way to work around this other than to NOT use jrCore_db_update_item in your "regular" view - you'd need to directly update the item_key table via an SQL query.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks Brian,

I'll have a think what to do about that. I like the simplicity of using jrCore_db_update_item rather than directly updating.

What about just not letting them update the title? Go into the Form Designer for the UPDATE form and change active to NO.

Or set its 'Display Group' to be Master admin and Profile admin only, so that way if they want to change the title they have to ask an administrator to do it.

Thanks Michael, that is a possible solution as well.
