Issue

I am building a website where user come and login, after login user publish articles with admin approval . I do not know how to do it. I made a user authentication system where user can login. But i do not know how to make him post data with admin approval.

Solution

Therefor you need a condition in your model to be able to query the approved objects (blog posts) to display.

A basic approach could look as follows:

Create a model to store the blog posts and its logic to the database

# models.py

class Blog_Post(models.Model):
    text = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    is_approved = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

Register your model in the admin so you can approve them via django-admin

from django.contrib import admin
from myproject.myapp.models import Blog_Post

admin.site.register(Blog_Post)

Create a view to only fetch blog posts that have been approved by an admin

# views.py

def get_blog_post(request):

   # Only fetch the blog posts that are approved
   queryset = Blog_Post.objects.filter(is_approved=True)

   return render(request, 'your_html.html', {'queryset' : queryset})

Render the blog posts in your template

# your_html.html

{% for blog_post in queryset %}

<div>{{ blog_post.text }}</div>

{% endfor %}
