Sorry, I'll make it clearer. Anything published by the same logged in user should be visible. Key word is "published" here. Ideally (ACLs?) a site admin should be able to see all published posts and in a multi-site blog, so should any additional editors - logged in users perhaps might see only their own drafts? There is a lot of scope to build a good ACL model. But drafts shouldn't exist outside of any preview pages. I'm not suggesting it should not be possible at all (plug-in ftw!) to show drafts, but they typically would be viewed as part of the preview-publish cycle, surely? :) I think there seems to be some confusion over drafts being hidden entirely versus shown on the front page (which would indicate they were published on pretty much every other platform I have seen) when logged in - it's going to confuse many more people than help. +1 as a plug-in. :) Cheers, Brendan. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
