460253 - Allow new articles to be renamed by anyone until they're first published

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(support.mozilla.org :: Knowledge Base Software, task)

Description

[David Tenser [:djst]]

Currently it's not possible to rename articles by contributors; only locale leaders and administrators have this ability.

Often when creating a new article, or when starting a translation of an existing en-US article, the name often needs to change before it's published.

New KB articles (new en-US articles or new translations of an existing en-US article) should be possible to rename by any contributor *as long as it's not published for the first time*. In other words, an article that only exists in the Staging Area category should be possible to rename. 

Once the article is published (i.e. moved to the Knowledge Base category), the same renaming restrictions that we have today should apply, to avoid problems with broken links.

Attachment: patch, v1

This adds a pref feature_wikiapproval_renamefirst on tiki-admin.php?page=wiki
When enabled, any logged in user can rename the page before it is first approved.

I enabled the pref on staging. Marking on the whiteboard to remember for prod.

I'm logged in as a contributor on https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/oscar+the+grouch, and I don't see an option to rename it, just:

    * Print
    * Edit this page
    * Translate this page
    * Monitor this page
    * Source
    * History

Indeed. I thought I put the rename option there for people without privileges too, but I guess I didn't.

Comment 8

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

The pref wasn't enabled on stage. Try again Stephen.

Verified FIXED; renamed the article in comment 6 to https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/oscar+the+grouch2, while logged in as a Contributor.

Maybe this could be upstreamed to Tiki.

In Tiki4, it is possible to assign any of the 220 perms to categories. Thus, if there is a category for new contributions, we can assign any perm to that. 

There is also a new concept:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Category+Transitions

There are also new permissions (tiki_p_remove_object, tiki_p_add_object)
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Workspace+Roadmap#Category_security


So this could be used like this:
1- Registered users can add a page to category "Proposed"
2- While it is there, tiki_p_rename is possible by Registered users.
3- Editors (but not Registered) are allowed to move this page to category "Official" and in this category, tiki_p_rename is not possible by Registered users.
