I want to change the core so that when you try to access an unpublished page, it will check if you are an authenticated manager user with rights to the page. If so it should let you view it.
The question is, do we make it a core feature or create a OnPageUnpublished plugin simirar to OnPageNotFound? If it’s core it will fix the problem with the preview window and unpublished documents. To me it makes sense to be in the core because you should be able to see what a page will look like in the actual site and not just the editor, before you publish it. If we do implement it as a plugin then I think we need to disable the preview window for unpublished docs.
Sound good?
P.S. I’m bringing this up now because the next version of QuickEdit will be able to publish/unpublish documents, which doesn’t really work as we stand now.
It should be a Role inside the user Roles screen. Maybe something like "View Unpublished Documents"
When an unpublished document is been viewed I think the system should insert some form of indicator to let the user know that he/she is viewing an unpublished page.
