What if it's full of text? One never knows how big fonts are. 2008-10-20T16:14:11 And then you're stuck repeating the width of your biggest image in two places. 2008-10-20T16:15:21 you could use em values. 2008-10-20T16:15:26 if you could just use min-width and max-width all would be great.. but some browsers want to be deity like 2008-10-20T16:15:30 +1 simmerdesigns 2008-10-20T16:15:48 at some point you have to make a call on how much text size increase you want to handle 2008-10-20T16:15:58 And some browsers don't understand min-width and max-width (IE anyone?) 2008-10-20T16:16:10 IE6 2008-10-20T16:16:13 7 seems to behave 2008-10-20T16:16:28 simmerdesigns: That's great if your text consists wholly of lowercase m's or is monospaced. 2008-10-20T16:16:46 but then you can just feed 6 a regular width: and height:, which it treats as min-width and min-height 2008-10-20T16:16:47 right 2008-10-20T16:17:37 i also then avoid using words like "supercalafragilisticexpialadocious" as headings :) 2008-10-20T16:17:43 IE = intensely excruciating 2008-10-20T16:17:44 lol 2008-10-20T16:18:04 i was looking around for the page you mentioned where "brought" was causing a problem ... link? 2008-10-20T16:18:18 Internet Exploder 2008-10-20T16:18:19 Perfect flowing layout: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki/wiki?GoodThing 2008-10-20T16:18:52 ErikRose: I like fluid layouts... until the line length gets ridiculously long 2008-10-20T16:18:54 er ... yes, technically the absence of layout is a completely fluid layout. 2008-10-20T16:19:03 catherine-w: Then why is your window so big? 2008-10-20T16:19:29 'cos it is 2008-10-20T16:19:34 simmerdesigns: I thought I'd start you out with something simple. ;-) Two side-by-side table cells, each saying width="50%", also demonstrate perfection. 2008-10-20T16:20:10 i'd quibble over "perfection", though i know what you mean 2008-10-20T16:20:56 ErikRose: I forebore from asking the obvious rejoinder to your above question.... 2008-10-20T16:21:01 i can still do the same with less HTML and a bit of css. 2008-10-20T16:21:03 catherine-w: My philosophy is that I should be able to arrange my workspace however I like.

I would know the folder ahead of time, but more pages may be added 2008-10-20T16:54:41 joebigler: see that wiki page.... I think it will help you 2008-10-20T16:54:55 instead of "content" i should have said "code snippet." 2008-10-20T16:55:03 catherine-w: Thanks, I will 2008-10-20T16:55:08 catherine-w is on the right track 2008-10-20T16:55:24 * paul_r reads the wiki page on IntranetAndExtranet 2008-10-20T16:55:39 That's too complicated for what you want, but all the concepts are in there 2008-10-20T17:00:17 catherine-w: Looks like the right idea. If it would be possible to limit a folder and its contents to a group, that would be simpler, but I don't see where to place that code. Creating the reader role should work and I will ;need to do this multiple times so it won't just be for one special case. Thanks. 2008-10-20T17:00:44 oooh, joebigler... you shouldn't need to create multiple Reader roles 2008-10-20T17:01:11 You can give the Reader roles to different groups in different locations 2008-10-20T17:01:23 *** paul_r has quit IRC 2008-10-20T17:01:31 catherine-w: No, what I would do is create one role and apply it in different locations like I do the editor role 2008-10-20T17:01:38 yes, exactly 2008-10-20T17:01:50 And you need the role to fit into whatever workflow you are using 2008-10-20T17:02:12 You may not need to create a completely new workflow as in the example 2008-10-20T17:02:43 Instead, you could amend a workflow so that Readers could see objects that were (say) in the private or review state 2008-10-20T17:03:12 catherine-w: Yes, I think the readers will only need to see the published content. I can probably add it to the existing workflow and just give them the view permission in the published state 2008-10-20T17:03:59 *** simmerdesigns has quit IRC 2008-10-20T17:04:47 catherine-w: I just need to make sure the anonymous users can't see the content in that folder. 2008-10-20T17:05:41 *** cjohansen has quit IRC 2008-10-20T17:06:15 hmmmm - so you will need a state that is not "published", I believe 2008-10-20T17:06:33 Because by definitiion, anonymous people can see stuff that is "published" 2008-10-20T17:07:07 So you are really after a limitedAccess state, as in the wiki page example 2008-10-20T17:07:28 catherine-w: My users can see published if the permission is inherited 2008-10-20T17:07:38 huh? 2008-10-20T17:08:12 Anyone can see published 2008-10-20T17:08:27 That's why it's called "published" :) 2008-10-20T17:08:51 catherine-w: By default, the view will be checked for anonymous in the ZMI. My workflow controls published. Only the published state gives them view 2008-10-20T17:09:26 catherine-w: I should have said my workflow controls view 2008-10-20T17:09:51 So you are using a custom workflow? 2008-10-20T17:10:04 catherine-w: yes 2008-10-20T17:11:14 So if you go into the properties tab for the "published" state in your custom workflow in portal_workflow, "Anonymous" has the "View" permission? 2008-10-20T17:12:01 Sorry, I meant "permissions" tab 2008-10-20T17:12:21 catherine-w: Only if it is inherited. That way, if I take it off the folder permissions, publishing it doesn't make it show up to the anonymous user. 2008-10-20T17:12:34 oooohhhhhh - I wouldn't do that 2008-10-20T17:13:12 catherine-w:? 2008-10-20T17:13:25 So you are proposing to go into the ZMI, and for every folder where you want to restrict access, you are going to go into the security tab for the folder and untick the "view" permission for anonymous? 2008-10-20T17:14:00 * catherine-w is not understanding what you're intending to do, probably 2008-10-20T17:14:20 catherine-w: It should work for the top folder of each restricted area. 2008-10-20T17:14:28 what should? 2008-10-20T17:15:22 *** mib_72hpoq has quit IRC 2008-10-20T17:15:47 catherine-w. If I uncheck view for anonymous in that folder, nothing below it will inherit the permission, if I uncheck the inherit permissions as well 2008-10-20T17:16:09 Yes, I just worry that it will become very hard to keep track of, very fast 2008-10-20T17:16:20 Much better to do it via workflow 2008-10-20T17:16:38 catherine-w: I know, that's why I was looking for another solution 2008-10-20T17:17:29 So you could try creating another state, say limitedAccess or whatever, and giving the Reader role (and Editors etc) ability to View things in this state 2008-10-20T17:17:44 Just as in that wiki page 2008-10-20T17:17:59 I would try it on a development site, first, though 2008-10-20T17:18:17 Because the downside of doing it this way is that you will have to move to the new workflow 2008-10-20T17:18:35 *** cguardia has quit IRC 2008-10-20T17:18:43 And you want to check that moving to a new workflow doesn't cause problems in other areas 2008-10-20T17:18:45 catherine-w: I see what you are saying, and remove the published state? Or make sure the reviewer knows to put it in the limitedaccess 2008-10-20T17:19:26 No, don't remove "published". Just give reviewers the ability to choose "published" (anyone can see it) or "limitedAccess" (only select people can see it) 2008-10-20T17:19:41 That way "published" doesn't mean different things in different parts of your site 2008-10-20T17:20:41 catherine-w: I will take a look at that idea. Just want to make sure some editors don't publish restriced content. Everything in a restricted folder will be restricted. 2008-10-20T17:21:02 *** cguardia has joined #weblion 2008-10-20T17:21:19 Well, how's this for an idea 2008-10-20T17:21:29 You could make some new content types to which a new workflow applies 2008-10-20T17:21:38 This new workflow doesn't have the "published" state 2008-10-20T17:21:47 So they can never be "published" 2008-10-20T17:22:01 It only has the "limitedAccess" state as its endpoint 2008-10-20T17:22:28 So rather than having a folder, you have a "restricted access folder" 2008-10-20T17:22:41 And rather than having a page, you have a "restricted access page" 2008-10-20T17:22:51 catherine-w: That's worth considering. Make a folder type from folder that is restricted 2008-10-20T17:23:06 * ErikRose smells tomato sauce. 2008-10-20T17:23:10 The problem with this approach is that at some point in future, you may decide to open up these content types to be visible to everyone 2008-10-20T17:23:15 And then what do you do 2008-10-20T17:23:30 * catherine-w also doesn't like naming content types with names that reflect workflow 2008-10-20T17:24:00 Another optoin 2008-10-20T17:24:27 You could make another role besides Reader: IntranetEditor (or something) 2008-10-20T17:24:57 Then you would make these people be the only people who could move stuff from pending into limitedAccess 2008-10-20T17:25:14 And Editors would be the only people who could move stuff from pending into published 2008-10-20T17:25:34 * catherine-w likes this idea better than the content type one 2008-10-20T17:25:40 catherine-w: That sounds good. 2008-10-20T17:26:03 So in your intranet-y folder, you would give one lot of people the Reader role 2008-10-20T17:26:18 (these Readers could view stuff in the limitedAccess state) 2008-10-20T17:26:40 And another lot of people the intranetEditor role (or intranetReviewer, or whatever) 2008-10-20T17:26:55 And these folks could put the content into the limitedAccess state 2008-10-20T17:26:58 How does that sound 2008-10-20T17:27:06 catherine-w: I think I like this idea best. 2008-10-20T17:27:10 me too 2008-10-20T17:27:44 Let me know how you get on! 2008-10-20T17:27:55 I would test on a development copy of your site first, though 2008-10-20T17:28:28 Because I know from experience that when you click that "update security settings" button, things can happen that you're not expecting 2008-10-20T17:28:36 catherine-w: Will do, and yes will develop first. Not doing that can be a disaster. :-) 2008-10-20T17:30:42 catherine-w: Thanks for the help. I am going to go work on this. 2008-10-20T17:30:55 *** gil has left #weblion 2008-10-20T17:31:06 No problemo.
