Allow anonymous proposition of modification
July 13, 2007, 03:51:03 am
Hi,
Sorry if we did'nt search enough but we don't find if the is a system which allow an anonymous to modify a record and after that the admin validate the modification.

Thanks

Not sure what type of record you're referring to. If your requirement is to have an un-authenticated contact come to the site and modify their own contact record info - then you "can" do this using a Profile and setting permissions to allow anonymous user role the appropriate permissions (assuming Drupal at this point). However, you'd have to figure out a way to direct the person to the correct profile record via URL.

The format for this using a Profile is:
http://localhost/dgg/drupal/civicrm/profile/edit?gid=1&reset=1&id=102

(in the above case, the Profile ID = 1 and the contact to be edited is 102)

When a contact is logged in, CiviCRM "knows" which contact record is linked to their user record - so this is not a problem. But of course you can't do this for an anonymous user.

In fact, we would like to make public and share our database of more than 14 000 organisations and let any visitor suggest a modification or even add a record. For his own organisation or for any of them. But the modification or new record will be on line after the validation by an admin.
Any idea how to do that

There is no explicit "moderation" feature. You might be able to accomplish what you want by including an "approved" custom field for contact records which defaults to false. Then creating a Smart Group for all contacts who have "approved" = true. Then this Smart Group is the group that is exposed in a Profile Listing.

You'll want to review the online documentation on Custom Data, Smart Groups and Profiles for details on how to implement.
