Dashboard: Pending Review

WordPress 2.5 introduces a widgetized dashboard and some people had been wanting to see a list of all posts pending review on the dashboard, so I wrote this widget.

    I love this Plugin ! Since WP 2.7 this is a must have. For WP2.7 you have to remove this line “extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );” from dashboard-pending-review.php to work without errors. Don’t know what this do for but works fine without this line. Greetz from Germany.

    Thanks for this very useful plugin and thanks to Martin for the 2.7 fix.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Viper007Bond for the plugin and thanks so much for the 2.7 fix Martin…..works like a charm.

  6. Hi,

    I got the same error as Martin and then removed the line and all is working fine now.

  7. Man… It’s plugin is simple and very nice. Any chance to generate a .pot file. I want to translate to pt_BR.

    I’ve apparently had an updated version of this sitting on my computer for quite a while (rewritten for WordPress 2.7). I’ve committed it and included a translation template while was as it.

    If you send me the translation file, I’ll include it. :)

    Nice plugin. Is it possible to extend it to Pages in pending review also?

    Works great, but I do need it to display Pages pending review as well as just posts. Is that possible? Otherwise it’s no good because the pages will be forgotten…

  13. Jake says:

    Thanks a lot for that tip – I’ll try it. Thanks for the quick response.

  14. Jake says:

    I’ve tried that, but it still just returns posts. I also tried changing ‘post’ into ‘page’, which does work, but (as you’d expect) only returns pages.

    What I’m after is an OR, but I’m not sure of the syntax. I tried

    'post_type' => 'post' || 'post_type' => 'page', 

    but that crashed the dashboard. Am I close?! Sorry to have to ask, but I’m at the limits of my coding knowledge here…! :-)

    • Viper007Bond says:

      Oh, try this:

      'post_type' => 'any',

      I guess it defaults to “post” if you don’t pass that parameter.

      I should just update my plugin to do this without any modifications.

  15. I’ve spent the last hour trying to make the translations work to no avail. I can assuredly tell you it doesn’t work.

  16. Alright, I’ve got things to work, but it wasn’t a bump-free ride.

    The .pot template is not up to date. I generated a .mo file from the .php page. One of the sentences was not translating because the line showing it was wrong.

    _e( 'There are no pending posts at the moment', 'dashboard-scheduled-posts' );

    had to be replaced by

    _e( 'There are no pending posts at the moment', 'dashboard-pending-review');

    Hi this is really a amazing plugin but how can I restrict this plugin for only admin so that other users cannot see it in their dashboard and only admin can see all the pending post from other users in his dashboard..please can any one tell me how it is possible.

    Hi, I ‘ve been making test posts as an administrator and another role as contributor. Pending Review box appears in thedashboard, although posts don’t appear in Pending Review box. They do go live and appear in Recent Comments box on the Dashboard.

    If posting as contributor, posts appear in Recent Comments box as Pending.

    Any idea why my Pending Review boxes stay empty?

    Mark.
