I'm not sure 2 is going to work that easily, since by default queries don't filter by the "translation" flag. 2 means that we have to change every query (impossible if we count user queries), or the way the search APIs work (backwards incompatible). So +1 for 1. Use case: the master document is visible, and it is an important one (legal contract, license, official documentation...). Translations are being worked on. While a translation isn't approved, they'd like it to be hidden. UX proposal: - when a translation is created, it copies the hidden field from the master - when a user changes the master's hidden status, a dialog shows up asking if all the translations should be changed as well or not - when a user changes a translation's hidden status, a dialog shows up asking for a confirmation if it's different from the master, warning about the possible issues caused by a difference in the flag - we display the hidden status of the translation in the UI -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
