Hi,I am having some Resources(articles, images, videos) in a folder. I want to publish only the resources that are checked by the admin. I have modified the resource class and added a checkbox field (Publish) into it. Now, when this checkbox is checked the resource is published.
The resources are submitted by the End Users. Now, when the end users submits the resources, the Publish checkbox appears in the submission form. So, when they check the publish option the resource gets published.
I only want the admin to be given the option to check the publish checkbox. How can this be implemented. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.Mahesh
Thanks & Regards Mahesh

You will need to adapt the edit templates for these specific classes. You can check who is editing, determine the group/role assigned and then display or not display the checkbox.
A good exercise in learning the template language
Alternatively, use the workflow system, it is made for that situations

If you need to have some sort of an approval mechanism then I suggest that you take a look at the approwal workflow. This is already built into eZ publish and ready for use. An example of how it can be set up is explained in the "Building an eZ publish site" tutorial:
