Hi Chandrakantha Nagaraja

Just to say thanks It worked as you said with the simpliar solution.

Created a Group for external authors to contribute once I get the pilot up and running as I only got a few bits and pieces ie.Company Logo and Front page blurb.

Hi Chuck, Actually there are two solutions to your problem, one is playing with work flow as you are doing now and another solution is pretty simple and it should work for your case. If you have 'View' permission then only you can view any object so what I suggested was remove 'View' permission to 'Anonymous' role (go to root of your portal and click on Security tab, you will find roles there) and no Acquire (means you have to uncheck acquiring View permission to Anonymous role and assign to other roles that you trust), since View permission is removed to Anonymous role and it is not acquired, the site will not be able to accessed by anonymous user, only the users with View permission will be able to access the site. Hope this helps you.

PS: Sorry, I won't be there in the office for a couple of days.

Hi Chandrakantha Nagaraja

Sorry to email you directly , I have setp up VHM and Apache rewrites to my Zope/Plone site and trying to setup a Private Plone Site using the Doc's from the Url you sent me/Mailing list.

I have gone thtu the neccessary steps but I'm a bit confused at this point below:

portal_workflow

Clicke on States tab For each stated listed

[ private ] Visible and editable only by owner

publish (Reviewer publishes content) show (Member makes content visible)

[ published ] Public hide (Member makes content private) retract (Member retracts submission)

[ * visible ] Visible but not published hide (Member makes content private) publish (Reviewer publishes content)

Click on the state name (I clicked all three) Click on Permissions tab Change Anonymous checked areas to Authenticated and no Aquire at this point there was no Anonymous to check .

The Permissions tab had the following:

Access contents information

[ List folder contents ]

[ Modify portal content ]

[ View ]

Thus do I just check view and Remove Selected after I have checked all the states or just Public as the doc's just say Click on state name not names:

As In the docs it says repeat this for all states .

Cheers

Chuck

Hi All at Zope/Plone Mailing list.

I have installed Zope.2.7.0 , Plone 2 ,VHM ,CMF 1.4 and Apache 2 on our new web server to be deployed on Linux o/s flavour - SuSE 8.2 Enterprise Server.

Currently deployed is Zope 2.6.2 ,Plone RC2,VHM, CMF 1.4 and Apache 1.3.

Anyway I have got my Zope/Plone Site up on the New Server but my problem is I need to deploy on the old and new web server a Plone Site in development that must only be accessable and viewable using the issuing user and password dteails only.

I have done this similiar before for my previous employer for external content authoring for zope manager's but this time the Plone site in particular shouldn't be viewable to the public only a few editors and myself while we work on the Plone site but I need external contributors to make additions to the Plone site but not viewable to the general public.

Is at all possible for both versions to allow this if So please could someone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Chuck
