Description
i propose that helptips still show up if unpublished. in fact, i think they should be hard coded as such in the node form. That way, the tip nodes don't show up on tracker page or in search results.
#1
I see why you want this but I'm hesitant to show unpublished content. At least not without an administrator explicitly requesting it.
I can think of a few ways to explicitly request it...
1) Under admin >> settings >> helptip, a checkbox 'show unpublished helptips' (setting applies to entire site)
2) When configuring the helptip block, a similar checkbox (setting applies to that block only)
3) In each helptip a checkbox 'show this tip unpublished' (setting applies to each helptip)
4) A user permission 'view unpublished helptips'. All users could be granted this permission.
I think 4 would be easy. Any thoughts?
I do not want to hard code it in the form. It's easy enough to set unpublished as the default.
If using Views for tracker, its easy to filter helptips out. Search results maybe not.
#2
you make a good point. #4 would be fine ... Jaza suggested a general mechanism where node types could declare themselves as 'module controlled' just like vocabularies. this would mean that the node would not show up in search results and such - would be perfect for these nodes.
