Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 1, 20195 yr Hi, Is there a way for admins/mods to read/watch from ACP or the forum a post made by a guest before registering ? Is this activity logged somewhere ? Thanks by advance.
March 4, 20195 yr Naturally the activity is stored in the database, however no - the data is not exposed to you anywhere. For all intents and purposes, their post is not finalized or available until the guest completes their registration. If they don't, their submission is removed.

Is this activity logged somewhere ? I've developed a way to admin view the content and manage it (delete or assign to a member): I will submit to the marketplace today later.

September 6, 20195 yr Because those posts for all intents and purposes do not exist yet. They don't exist until the user completes their registration, and are automatically cleared out and pruned after about a week if the poster doesn't do so.

That's good and answers what would have been my next question. I would probably not approve many users who register (e.g. spammers) and wouldn't want their not visible posts accumulating on the server. Now I know that won't happen.
September 6, 20195 yr And for the record, I just activated the feature. Gonna give it a try. I even tried it out with a newly created, disposable test user. Pretty cool option! 😎
