Moderation
Enable reports
Where to turn on reporting for VitNode content and for your own plugin's items, and what the moderators need next.
Readers report content with a Report button, and every report lands in the moderators' queue. How you turn it on depends on what is being reported:
| What readers report | Guide |
|---|---|
| Records of a Content Engine content type | Reports: the reports option and ReportButton |
| Anything else your plugin stores | Custom report targets with defineReportTarget |
For a content type, the switch is one line, reports: true on its definition. The Reports guide then adds the button and follows a report to the ModCP. Turning reports on grants nothing by itself, so nobody sees a report until a moderator holds can_view_reports.
Then set up the people who handle the reports:
- Manage report reasons to choose what readers can pick.
- Configure moderators to give someone
can_view_reportsandcan_manage_reports. - Process reports to work the queue in the ModCP.
