How to hold submitted form data until it's been reviewed?

Question

Hello,

I am a complete newb at ROR and intermediate at best with programming in general (mostly PHP). I'm trying to build my first web app as an experiment which is a job posting site. The largest feature and pretty much the only feature is to have a user create a posting, review it then pay for it before it is posted.

I ran the scaffold command to get the basic CRUD operations. This is where I get stuck (yeah I know not that far). I need to basically tell the app not to submit but hold the data till it has been reviewed and payment has been made, then submit it. It's sort of like a shopping cart but not really, since a company would be making the "product" then buying it.

I'm all about teaching myself just sort of need to be nudged in the right direction.

Thanks

Ok so looks like your job posting can be in different states:

• draft

• final version (after reviewed)

• posted (after payment)

You might need more than one resource, at least that's how I would do it.

For insight, check StackOverflow careers where you edit your CV as a draft until you reach the final version_ and then you file it (post)
