Hi all. I've got an idea of something I'm trying to implement, and I'm wondering if the concept is of use to anyone else.
I've got an Intranet up in PTK. (What a shock, as I'm posting here. :) ) I'm slowly getting people to use it for internal collaboration, et al. But the main things people are wanting to do are internal to their own department, with some overlap. So you've got:
+PTKRoot | +-Members | +-John | +-Sue | +-Marketing +-Technology
Say John is in Technology and Sue is in Marketing. What I want is for John to have Contributor rights in the context of Technology, and Sue in Marketing, i.e. John adds a News Item and Publishes it. It shows up in Technology but not Marketing.
I thought about creating a Technolgy Item ("Release Notes") and a Marketing one ("Press Release") and then just having a catalog search on the meta-type of each in the appropriate folder's index_html and give them all Contributor. But that strikes me as unclean. It would be nice to have anyone be able to create a Press Release or Release Notes, but only have them published in their department's context, and merely pending in others.
Am I making any sense at all? Does anyone see either a need for doing this or a way to do it? If it requires changes to PTK core, would anyone be interested in those, or should I throw them in my pile of dirty little secrets that no one should really know exist?
Thanks, Monty
