h3. Editing a Post

clicking the _Edit or administer this article_ button at the bottom of the page will also reveal a button _Edit this article_, clicking this will bring you to the edit page. An easier way to get to the edit page is typing /edit at the end of the post url in the address bar of the browser. (site/post/number/edit)

All the details of a post can be changed on the edit page, including title, author, tags, summary and text body and uploaded media. The post can be added to groups one is a member of. If the post is not part of any group, 'No group' will be selected. If nothing is selected, it means the the post is part of a group one is not a member of.

Textbox for hiding and 'edit' button below

h3. Hiding a Post

click the 'Edit or administer this article' button at the bottom of the page, a little textbox opens to give in a reason, and click hide. This will send an email to the moderation list with the subject 'Content Hidden', including title, post number, the username of the hider and the reason for hiding. 

If the moderator is not logged in, the button below the textbox will say _report_ instead of _hide_. Reporting will also send an email containing the same information as above, but not hide the article. 

An article can also be hidden using the edit function (see [[AdminInterfaceIntro#Promoting-a-Post|Promoting a Post]]), in this case no email will be sent. 

h3. Hiding Comments

To hide a comment, click the _inappropriate comment_ link below the comment. A textbox and hide button will appear, see [[AdminInterfaceIntro#Hiding-a-Post|Hiding a Post]]. The same email will be sent, with the subject 'Comment hidden'

!03-Hide-Comment.png!

Alternatively the [[AdminInterfaceIntro#View-latest-comments|latest comments]] list in the [[AdminInterfaceIntro#Admin-Pages|Admin Pages]] can be used.

Each comment has a unique url (site/post/number#comment-number), that can be seen by clicking on its title.

h3. Promoting a Post

You can change the moderation status on the edit page (see [[AdminInterfaceIntro#Editing-a-Post|Editing a Post]]. Choose the appropriate moderation status from the drop box at the top (published, promoted, hidden, featured) and then _save changes_ at the bottom. 

!04-Moderation-Status.png!

Trusted users can get auto-promotion status, meaning their posts will be promoted on posting without being seen by a moderator (see [[AdminInterfaceIntro#Users|Users]])

No email or other notification will be sent, right now there is no easy way of seeing who promoted what post. 

h3. Featuring a Post

This is also done by changing the moderation status, see [[AdminInterfaceIntro#Editing-a-Post|Editing a Post]] for details, again, no notification is sent. 

Featuring an *article* will bring it to the front page, with image and the full summary. When featuring a new article, the last one will move down into the sub-features. 

Top Feature

!10-feature-and-subfeatures.png!

Four Sub-Features

On the edit page, below the moderation status drop box, there's a tick box _stick at top_. When this is selected, the article will stay the prominent feature, while articles featured later on will appear only in the sub-feature columns. 

!05-Stick-at-Top.png!

Featuring an *event* will bring it into the list of five featured events and display any uploaded picture as poster on the frontpage. When the next upcoming featured event does not have an image, an image of a following featured event will be displayed instead. 

Featuring a *video* will include the thumbnail and link in the rotation of three featured videos on the frontpage.

The job scheduler does all sorts of nice things, for example encode the videos. If the bot leaves the IRC channel, or videos don't seem to be encoding, you can check on the job scheduler. It should generally be running, if the status says it is not running, click _start_ *once* and wait for a couple of minutes. The status should change to running. If it doesn't turn to your local geek.

Categories are suggested tags. They are tags, but will appear on the publish page for people to tick, thus becoming more prominent. This can be very fluid, an action topic can be easily created and disabled. Just like tags they can not have spaces, so two or more word tags should have - or _ instead (e.g. three_word_tag)

h1. Groups

Any registered user can create a group. Groups have their own page, displaying a short info blurb, all posts published under that group, and up to two external RSS feeds, with an unique url (site/groups/group-name). 

Any member of a group has full access to that group and can edit the blurb, add other members and include up to two RSS feeds that are displayed on the group page. When publishing a post users will be able to select any of the groups they are a member of at the bottom of the publish page. 

Groups have the same moderation status as posts: published, promoted, hidden or featured. When created, a group will have the moderation status 'published'. To change the moderation status of a group, go the the group page (site/groups/group-name) and type /edit in the address bar of the browser (site/groups/group-name/edit). 

Five groups are displayed on the frontpage. A group that is featured will always be on the frontpage. Also the most recently active promoted groups will appear on the frontpage. Published or hidden groups will never appear on the frontpage.
