- In a project we are working on now, the data only exists on the public site 
since it is data that a Public User (created using the PUR module) will 
maintain. Of course the web editor needs access to this data also, and to have 
the correct types, trees and dialogs is then very handy.

- Ok, to have a specific activation mechanism for types seems a good choice.

Jan, when will you apply the patch I delivered to the code in SVN?

The way activation is configured now seems to force the user to work with 
workflow. 'Direct' activation is not possible without config changes, am I 
right?

Bye, Bert

I've always thought that no one need to see the data maintained by the
data module on public, but since this is not the first time i hear this
question, I'm probably wrong.

I'm very tempted to say, yes, let's move it since I don't like the
dialogHandler creating the tree.
In theory, even if you adapt the tree and/or the dialog you can always
activate it, but ... if they were generated on the public as well,
rather then activated, they would exist there with different uuids which
is something i would rather avoid. Also having user to activate the
dialog and tree explicitly (even if they modified it) is not very nice.
For this reason I would think that perhaps the best solution to the
issue is to have a custom activate command for the type that would in
same go activate also the tree, the menu and the dialog for given type
so it is treated as a bundle of related things which is what it really
is.
