Disable approval process

Permalink
I've been searching the forum and documentation, but can't seem to find any information about how to disable the approval-feature.

As the site are maintained by one person only, there is no point in having to click "approve version" after having edited a page.

Can this be disabled again?

Okay - thought I might just be looking the wrong places.

If anybody got a 'hack' then feel free to share it. I imagine that when the page is saved "Approved" is set to 0/1 and it would then be possible to hardcode the status to "1" in that SQL-update statement.

this is really tied tightly in with Concrete5, it would be really hard to disable the approve proccess as its a permission

Sounds a bit strange because I got one installation (Version: 5.4.0.5) where I'm never asked for approval and edits are shown right away.

What the hell?!?! I NEVER had this APPROVAL problem until today. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE! IT IS SCREWING UP MY SITE! I Need to TURN THIS CRAP OFF!

LOL, yeah I guess that was the best answer you got. Sad to say, eh?

Due to the lack of response to 3 different questions yesterday including my response here, I ended up just deleting the entire site, re-uploading the entire site and recreating the pages one by one.

I have narrowed it down to something that must have happened last month or so when I tried to create Members.

My advice is this: unless you already know what you're doing, don't try to create Members. The support I got here when trying to figure that feature out was, and I believe this is a direct quote: "uh... you do realize that a members feature is built in, right?"

Further advice: unless you know what you're doing, never touch the system pages at all. If you can't find documentation, don't do it unless you're willing to ruin your site.

It seems that ever since the site update, there is less support in the forums. Not sure if the new pricing caused people to leave or what. I know there was some complaining, but that would be sad. This forum was very helpful a little while ago.

The community are still a bit to small, but the system are fantastic so I'm sure that the support will grow.

When you chose to 'preview' in stead of publishing a page, then you need to approved it afterwards before it is shown.

Does still not eplain why 99% of pages are approved after being published, while some are halted for approval.

I never choose "Preview" so that had nothing to do with the problem for me. I was getting "duplicate set" error messages and stuff. Basically, every page I tried to edit would appear as a blank template without the content I just added to the page. When I'd click "Edit" to see what the heck happened, I'd get the duplicate set error message. I refresh the page and it would say "this page is pending approval." I approve the page and it just became an error message. Not even a blank template.
