The difference is that in 3), you propose an alternative solution to the

Maybe, 3) is more like your proposal for 2), while 2) means using search in
place of searchDocument to bypass the filter.

Hi Devs,
Anyone of you will surely agree that the hidden document feature
implemented
in the store is very bad.
The way this "feature" is implemented should never have been accepted,
it just broke an API for something that is not really related to
storage...
See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3925 and its dependencies.
IMO, it has never been fully implemented,
probably in the hope of a
better
way to go, and it is so for too long. I think it
is the time to take some
decision about it, or I do not see the direction and I do not understand
where we want to go ?
I see 3 possibilities:
1) we remove it and found other way to solve the problem it solves,
which
are currently limited to the Blog, ColorThemes
and Panels applications in
a
standard XE.
+1
2) we keep it as it is, since it could be hard
to implement higher in
the
current implementation, but then we need to fix
the places where it cause
issues.
-1, I can see it as a long term solution. It's something to say we
will fix it latter it's something else to validate it. Adding a
boolean to searchDocument as indicated in
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3925 would already be a lot
better than the current situation.
3) we implement the feature using another method
?
I don't fully understand what is the difference between 1) and 3).
If we choose 1), early in 3.x release is the probably best moment for it,
since it is a breakage in compatibility, I am -0 on this however.
If we choose 2), we need to make it work properly by fixing places where
we
need to include all document, including hidden
one. I have some old patch
to
the application-manager to export hidden document
(ie: currently the blog
application does not export properly), to the skinx plugin that does not
apply 'always' skin extensions contained in hidden document, and there is
probably other places.
If we choose 3) now, what do you proposed to better implement it. I have
read some comments that it was a UI level stuff implemented at the store
level, but I do not see how it could be done better in the current
implementation.
Moreover, if we keep the feature, I think that it should be exposed
somehow
to the admins, allowing the creation of hidden
document, but also listing
them, deleting them properly, etc... Concerning the document provided
with
XE, I also wonder what could be the rules for
hiding them or not ? Why
not
also hidding stock document in the XWiki space,
just keeping users and
some
top level documents ?
WDYT ?
