Forums / Cotonti / Support / HELP: Sort Pages by Date / Change level needed to validate pages

I need some help with two things, 

 

How can I allow users with a lower rank validate pages ? I want my moderators level 40 or so to be able to be able to validate a page submitted by our members... they cannot do this.. 

 

I do not want to give them more access than this, so upping their rank to administrator level is out of the question, what file can I modify to directly change this or is it not that simple?

 

 

ALSO

 

I cannot figure out how to make the pages sortable by DATE or AUTHOR etc, with GENOA, the same tag used to call the table colum header/names would also make them clickable to sort by that cell two ways. In siena, the same TAG does bring the text but without being clickable to sort.

 

I hope you understand what I mean, see here.

Before updating to Siena, clicking DATE or AUTHOR would sort them...

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I have another topic open "tips for performance in siena" with a question about using memcache, if you have any idea on that at all and could help me there i would appreciate it !

 

 

Thank you !

#1:

You can set permissions for individual groups and categories in the Rights section.

Navigate to Administration panel / Extensions / Pages / Structure and click on the 'Rights' button for the category you want to change.

#2:

You are probably missing the tags above the columns.

They are as follows:

<a href="{LIST_TOP_TITLE_URL_ASC}">Sort title ASC</a>
​<a href="{LIST_TOP_TITLE_URL_DESC}">Sort title DESC</a>

Change _TITLE_ with the desired field name. So for example: {LIST_TOP_AUTHOR_URL_DESC} for author.

Okay, I gave these rights to these levels but it does not allow it still, i can take some screenshots...

 

I'll try those tags, they are different tages then what I used in Genoa which had those functions built in.

 

 

Also how can I search for users by EMAIL address ? Often users message us on FB when they forgot their user and /or password... 

 

Thanks

The tags worked great for sorting the pages by date author name and popularity, thank you ! 

 

Still looking how to easily search users by email address while staying within the control panel.

Here is my settings, I'm trying to allow Content admin, which is level 52 my mistake saying it was 40 earlier in this post, To be able to validate and auto validate pages submitted in news and other sections of the site... it's not working. They can not access this, is it because they have no access to the admin panel?

I was able to give them access to the admin panel with Read permission checked only, so it appears they can't get into anything else than pages, I was trying to have it so they didn't have to get into the administration panel at all, but this is fine.

 

I only cared because I used to have many users with administration rights who accidentally changed / messed up settings before and broke the website lol.

So now I'm looking at, how to search users by emaill address through control panel
