there are much better ways of restricting access to documents than the
hidden flag.
And access rights can't help here, since rights are objects, which can
only be attached to the main document.

Hiding document is not really for user document but is there for hiding
technical document from search results and other navigations. It is for
sure a bad practice to use it to control a publishing workflow IMO.
Hi devs,
I’m working to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9910 but before I
can fix it
we need to decide something since we have 2 possibilities.
- Option 1: The hidden flag is set at document translation level which
means when
the user check the hidden flag it’s only for the current
translation
- Option 2: The hidden flag is set at the default
document level (not
set at translated doc level) which means there’s a single
hidden flag
ATM the problem with XWIKI-9910 is that when the user checks the hidden
flag, it’s
set at the translation level but when a translation is displayed
the value shown is the one from the default document.
Option 1 offers more use cases but:
- users may be surprised
- users need to be careful to edit the default doc if they wish to set
the doc as
hidden for all translations
I’m not sure what option I prefer. Initially I was more for option 2 but
I’m now
hesitating and leaning more towards option 1. Note that option 2
means one more DB upate when saving a translated doc.
I'm not sure 2 is going to work that easily, since by default queries
don't filter by the "translation" flag. 2 means that we have to change
every query (impossible if we count user queries), or the way the search
APIs work (backwards incompatible).
So +1 for 1.
Use case: the master document is visible, and it is an important one
(legal contract, license, official documentation...). Translations are
being worked on. While a translation isn't approved, they'd like it to
be hidden.
