kotti_backend 0.1.1

Turns Kotti CMS into a private content administration area

This plugin turns Kotti CMS into a private content administration area. Basically kotti_backend let you achieve the same goals described here (Kotti CMS intranet).

What kotti_backend does:

1. define and load a new private_workflow. If you are installing kotti_backend on an existing Kotti installation you’ll need to call kotti-reset-workflow yourinifile.ini --purge-existing (be extremely careful because all your published contents will be converted to the private state)

2. apply the above workflow to File and Image (they are workflowless by default)

3. set a default fallback permission to all views

4. override the default populator with a custom ACL (no allow view for everyone)
