[daisy] Publish immediately & no publishing permissions in document editor

[Karel Vervaeke]

It is currently not possible to do that using styling, so there would be
some more work involved.

There is one little catch: you can't really be sure that the user will
be allowed to publish unless you have the complete document information
(e.g. an Acl entry might deny publish rights if the document exceeds a
particular amount of bytes).  Don't worry too hard though: (a) this is a
bordercase and (b) one could work around this by submitting the document
temporarily by hitting the html cleaner button or by going back and
forth to another tab in the editor.

Anyway, now for the implementation part:

look for publishImmediately in documenteditor.xml, you will either want
to
(a) hide the checkbox if the user is not allowed to publish
(b) make the checkbox unchecked + disabled
(c) just display a warning if the user tries to uncheck it.

in DocumentEditorApple.java, add something like this: (copied from
LocalDocumentStrategy.store(...)

AclResultInfo newAclInfo =
context.getCommonRepository().getAccessManager().getAclInfoOnLive(systemUser, documentInt.getCurrentUser().getId(),documentInt.getCurrentUser().getActiveRoleIds(), document);

boolean canPublish = newAclInfo.isAllowed(AclPermission.PUBLISH);

(put the canPublish parameter in the viewData so you can use it in the
documenteditor.xml template)

This seems like a general improvement, so feel free to create a Jira
issue.  Don't forget to attach a patch if you implement this.

Regards,
Karel
