Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Moderation in Bboard

I am talking about this code

set moderation_policy_sort_key 1
foreach moderation_policy [bboard_moderation_policy_order] {
    append decode_internals "'[DoubleApos $moderation_policy]',$moderation_policy_sort_key,"
    incr moderation_policy_sort_key
}

#DRB: decode_internals case needs POSTGRES porting, still.
if ![info exists decode_internals] {
    set order_by "upper(topic)"
} else {
    # add one last integer at the end
    # POSTGRES
    # set order_by "decode(moderation_policy,null,0,$decode_internals$moderation_policy_sort_key) asc, upper(topic)"
    set order_by "bboard_mod_pol_number(moderation_policy), upper(topic)"
}

set selection [ns_db select $db "select moderation_policy, topic, topic_id, presentation_type
from bboard_topics
where (active_p = 't' or active_p is null)
and (bboard_topics.group_id is null
     or ad_group_member_p ( $user_id, bboard_topics.group_id ) = 't' )
order by $order_by"]

set last_moderation_policy ""
set first_iteration_p 1
while { [ns_db getrow $db $selection] } {
    set_variables_after_query
    if { $last_moderation_policy != $moderation_policy } {
	if !$first_iteration_p {
	    append whole_page "



"
	}
	append whole_page "
[bboard_moderation_title $moderation_policy] 



"
        set last_moderation_policy $moderation_policy
    }
    set first_iteration_p 0
    append whole_page "
[bboard_complete_backlink $topic_id $topic $presentation_type]
"
}

My understanding of moderated BBOARDS is that a users posting is approved by the board administrator before going live.
