Property added twice for new agent

The agent added a property before they were approved (ie manual approval) but when they saved, they got a 500 error.
So I approved the agent.
The agent used the back button and saved their property again, and this time it succeeded.

However, when the agent wen to manage their properties, that property was in the system twice. One was published (2nd one), the other (presumably the 1st one since the ID# is smaller) was not published.

I can confirm that the property is entered into the database before the user has (a) become an agent (ie they just post a property), and (b) before they are approved.

Hi Napoleon,
You mean the Unapproved agent still able to access the "Add property" layout?
Thanks

Yes.
When the home page is the "Layout: Front Page", after the registered user requests to become an agent, the front page gives them the "Add new property" button, even before they have been approved.
They can use this button to enter their property, and it goes into the database UNPUBLISHED, so others can't see it. However it does go into the database.

Hi,
So you want the unapproved agent isn't able to post properties at front-end, right?

Well, yes. Doing so prevents unauthorised data from being in the database and makes managing properties easier. Also, it allows unauthorised users to put data into the database and make it grow.

Thanks for fixing this on my site. I suspect that this patch should be included in the next release of OS_Property. I don't think people would like to have data inserted into their database (particularly by a malicious user) when they are not authorised to do so.
