I now understand my  topic should have been in this forum. In the hope to get an answer soon(er), I will explain my problem here once more. I'll then close the other topic.

I've made a News-section on my website www.teamhelvoirt.nl using the Form & List-module. There's a short News-section on the front-page that shows the first two records of the News-items that are fully placed on the News-page ('Nieuws').

I now discovered that there's no staging-possibility for this module. I want to give my fellow teammates the opportunity to review the entries of the website before I publish them. The basic HTML-module has this property, and so does the announcement-module, but the Form and List module doesn't. (Correct?)

On my question wheter it ispossible to include staging in the Form and List-module, I allready got an answer from Sebastian that it is indeed possible. However, I didn't understand what to do:

Form and List has restricted columns, you may create a restricted column "publish" with default false, where the original author cannot edit but the editor (using special permission). you need to add a filter for this column in public view as well

Therefor, I added the following to my question:

The situation should be as follows:
1) Client asks for a new news-item for a certain event.
2) I add a new record on the news-section, but this is not yet shown on the public website.
3) Client reviews the article and approves for publication.
4) News-article is now published and visible for every visitor.

Could you please explain (in steps) how this can be done?! (I'm very excited there seems to be an option!!!!)

Sebastian is correct.
The magic is that you can use an existing FnL module on multiple pages - each page can offer a separate view and filter.

First, I would create a private page with all list items. Add a new column "publish" of data type true/false with default value of false. That that column as restricted field. Inside module permissions, only allow "customers" to edit restricted columns., but not for normal editors. The publish column will only appear for customers inside form, it will be always hidden for editors, which means that only customers are able to set the publish column to true.

Second, insert the existing module on your public news page ans set a filter [publish__UDT_Original] ='true'

I'm sorry, I still don't understand:

I've added the extra column 'Publish', that is 'True' or 'False'.
I then added the filter: [publish_UDT_Original]='True'.
This works.
When I add a record that has Publish set to 'False', it isn't shown.

But it now isn't shown at all. It must be visible however to the administrator and the registered users. How do I do that? Do I have to create another page that's only visible for them, where I leave out the filter? That's not the most elegant solution, is it?

you need to setup a reference to the same module on another page, sorry. another option might be using custom XSL rendering instead of default grid view.

Ok, thanks, I was able to do this. New question, however.

The news-articles not to be published yet, are now viewable for a User-Role 'Bestuurslid' I defined. And for administratos off course.

For the basi Text/HTML-modules, I want to use the Content Staging that's allready in DotnetNuke. Changes made in a text are not public untill the 'Publish' option is checked.

Is it possible to give the 'Bestuurslid'-users the option to view these changes as well, or is this only possible for adminitrators?

If the latter is true, I would have to give my customers an administrator-login to approve the changes in the text, and I definitely don't want to do this!
