How can I remove the 'Make featured for 30 days option' from records? I use Cobalt for a directory system and have many Cobalt Editors, they are not Super Admins. I cannot seem to find a way to remove the 'Make featured...' option.

Thank you.

After reading some other posts it would appear this is somehow changed through Type-> Emerald 9, but I don't understand what to change. Here is a screenshot of my Emerald 9 tab.

Hello, what are your "editors"? Did you create some "Moderators" as SuperAdmin in frontend...

You can set different rules and allow certain actions for each moderator:

Simply disable/uncheck the respective action.

Also hence the Type -> Properties -> Who can moderate -> ACL selectbox
Not sure how it does influence the moderation workflow.

Hi pepper,

Thanks for the reply.

The way people edit my Cobalt entries is by being placed in a Joomla Access group called 'Directory Editors'. Then from Type-> Properties-> Who can moderate I have selected 'Directory Editors'.

The screenshot you have with 'Set Moderator' I have never seen before. This may be because in my particular site I have disabled the user menu from appears in each section. I am also on v8.360 so maybe this is a newer feature?

I have also tried making a new menu item of Cobalt Type-> Moderators which I think may give me these options. But when I try to navigate to the page I get a permissions denied error(even as a SuperAdmin).

Is there any way to modify the moderator rules from the backend?

Did you set a "Global Moderator" in Cobalt Configuration?! Most likely this should be your SuperAdmin user account.

No. Except for the important global config parameter.

Yes, I reached it via the "user menu/controls".
In your case, you should create and use that special "Moderators" menuItem.
It gives very fine grained control over actions and even restrictions to certain categories.

I think the frontend user menu option is the usual way. I am not sure, but the Type parameter "Who can moderate" might be even newer. Seems to be a more simple setting to give all moderator actions to a whole J! ACL. No fine grained control.
