Zensor enforces a two-step publishing workflow in WordPress.

== Description ==

Zensor enforces a two-step publishing workflow in WordPress.  The two steps are:

1. An author submits an article (post/page) for review.
1. A moderator approves or disapproves the article.

The article is only visible after the second step.  The author can add a note that the 
moderator can read when evaluating the article.  Similarly, the moderator can include
a justification for his/her decision.

= Author =
Any user with the 'zensor_publish' capability is allowed to bypass the moderation 
system.  Posts/pages created by authors without this capability will be put into
the 'pending' state and must be approved by a moderator before they are displayed.


= Moderators =
Who is a moderator is determined by the `zensor_moderate` capability.  Upon installation, 
the Administrator is assigned this capability.  Also, a new role, Zensor Moderator is created, which
only has this capability and `read`.  This is a dedicated role for moderation, eliminating
potential conflicts of interest.  A Zensor Moderator cannot modify posts in any way
except to accept/reject them and add a note that will be sent back to the author.  Perfect for 
the boss who needs to sign off on everything, but shouldn't be allowed to add his/her own opinion.
If you'd like other roles to be able to moderate, then you can grant them the `zensor_moderate`
capability using the [Role Manager](http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/) plugin.

= Notifications =
There are two types of notifications.

* *Author notifications* let authors know that their page/post was approved/rejected.
* *Moderation notifications* let moderators know that a page/post was just created/edited.

Notification frequencies for both author and moderator can be independently set
to either immediate, hourly, or daily.  All messages can be edited through the 
options interface.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `zensor` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= This isn't working out for me.  How do I get rid of the plugin cleanly? =

That's sorry to hear.  I'd love to hear what you didn't like.  
Let [me](mailto:scompt@scompt.com) know!

If you still want to uninstall the plugin, go to the Options->Zensor panel and scroll
to the bottom of the screen.  There you'll find an `Uninstall` button.

== Screenshots ==

1. Write a note that will be displayed to the moderator.  Note the tip at the bottom of the page.
2. Filter pages/posts based on the moderation status.
3. Moderator page to view all of the pages/posts in the Zensor system.
4. Moderator page with preview of post and form for moderator.  Note the bulk buttons at the bottom of the page.
5. Sample email that a moderator receives when a post is made.

== Future Plans ==

* Consolidate all of the options into a single option containing an array.  It's too messy to have so many options for the messages.
* HTML emails
* Schedule 'immediate' notifications a couple minutes in the future to catch any other moderations/posts somebody may be doing
* WordPress 2.5 support
* Allow users to be "above" moderation.
