[daisy] Publish immediately & no publishing permissions indocument editor

[Iolanda Da Costa Martins]

I knew the 1st part (that styling wasn't enough) :-) So your pointers
are great. I will try to get my head around this in the the coming days,
and when I get to implement it + it works, I will add a new improvement
JIRA issue with patches.

Thanks,

Io-

PS: in my case, it is really a matter of whether the user can publish or
not, therefore the border line cases do not apply. But I agree that it
could get complicated if the ACL rules are as peculiar as you mention.

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(system
User,
documentInt.getCurrentUser().getId(),documentInt.getCurrentUser().getAct
iveRoleIds(), 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
