[silva-dev] Republishing closed versions in a container view

[Samuel Schluep]

Hi

If a container has only closed VersionedContent objects its status tab does not have any possibility to republish these objects. It is very annoying after copying many documents if the user has to move to status tab of every object to publish it individually. Instead, making all objects pulic should also be possible from the container status tab with 1 action (3 clicks: select all; publish now; open to public). There  is a non-elegant work-around: create a new Silva Document in the container, the editable version will make bulk-publishing avaliable also for the closed objects.

Coying a whole container with published content will make all content objects editable. Copying only published content objects, without its containing container or contained containers), into another container will insert the content closed. Is this difference intended? 

I was not shure where to put these remarks on the issue tracker. Issue 63 <http://issues.infrae.com/silva/issue63> seems to be related to these points.
