| Description | When you go to some non-validated content, either through the admin_unvalidated module, or an e-mail notification about non-validated content, open up the edit form in a special validation mode.
Instead of a validated checkbox, have a series of radio buttons: 1) Edit but leave non-validated 2) Validate as fresh (set add-time as now) [the default] 3) Validate silently (leave original add-time with no edit-time) 4) Validate noisily (leave original add-time and set edit time) The last option, 4, is the current behaviour. If selected then it will not do anything special. If 2 or 3 are selected then the meta-data date fields will be marked disabled. |

| Additional information | Original description:
Do Not "Save news items until validated Currently, news items are saved at the time they were created, even if they were not validated at that point. As a result, if later on, they are edited then validated, the article retains the creation date and also has an "Edited On" notice at the bottom. What if there's a "Save as Draft" option when adding news items, or a least a configuration option that enables a reset of the News creation time to the time it was validated? |
