Where do "unapproved" images go?

[dotpro]

Hi,

In XMG, what happens to the images that I mark "unapproved?" How do you approve them back to the public view?

 

[Paul B]

They should appear in the moderation queue.

They can be approved from there or from any page they appear on in the gallery.

Thanks. Where is the moderation queue? I've searched and looking all over the admin area...

Also, when I "unapproved" the pics, they disappeared from the page. Permissions issue?

The moderation queue appears next to "Reports" in the moderator bar.

You can access it by going to http://yoururl.com/index.php?moderation-queue/.

If the queue is empty, then you don't have permission to manage media. (You need to be a moderator and have the approve/unapprove media permission).

The images disappearing was actually as designed but we changed it in XFMG 1.1.5; though again if you don't have the relevant permissions then they won't appear.

Try using the Analyze Permissions feature.

I can access the queue through that URL but no images, just posts. How come there is no link to this URL in the admin area for posts or images, not sure why both content types would be in the same queue.

The permissions seem to be okay as well but still i do not see the unapproved images in the image categories.

I upgraded to 1.1.5 but still i do not see unapproved pics visible in the category.

I can see the "unapproved" pics when going directly to each image URL (found the url from moderator log).

Is there any solution to this issue? Is this a bug?

I don't think this is something we've managed to reproduce. It's probably easiest if you can submit a ticket with FTP details and access to an account that should be able to see unapproved images. It may also allow us to reproduce the watermarking timeout issue.
