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?)

I now have two complimentary questions:
1) Is it possible to include staging in the Form and List-module in some way?
2) Is there a module available that does support staging, and can be configured as my current News-section? I actually did work with the announcement-module but felt that it didn't give me the freedom to configure it as I wanted it to be.

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

If you have selected the option in forms and list to render the information with a user created custom xsl file you can put logic inside the xsl to display items based on certain field values. You could make a field in the form and list called like 'status' and give the options draft;staging;published. Then in the xsl for regular users show just the ones that are published. Xsl is a little more advanced but it is possible, are you familiar with xsl files at all?
