Moderation Functions

First note that there are limitations in the current Geeklog codebase that will force you to name your plugin tables used for submission in a specific manner. All moderated Geeklog items such as stories and links are comprised of two tables. The first is a main table where all visible items are stored. The second is a submission table where submitted user items sit until an administrator approves them. When approved the item is moved from the submission table to the main table. So for example, if you are writing a book review plugin that allows users to submit book reviews then we will pick bookreviews for your main table (this must also be your plugin name you pick) and then your submission table must be named bookreviewssubmission.

Why force the names? Because in the Geeklog code the submission table for all stories is coded as <main name>submission. So since we picked bookreviews for our main table (and plugin name) the submission table must be named bookreviewssubmission.

If you want your plugin to be moderated like Geeklog stories and links then you must implement these functions:
