what is the exact purpose of hide article ability ?

because after fresh install 17rc2 and hiding welcome message search of "welcome" returns value.

but if i click the link, i got "No articles at the moment". make no sense for me.

ok .. also spotted a formatting issue, but to this peoblem...
function search_engine()
after the $query satement, just before
if ($keyCount > 1) {

place
if(!_ADMIN){$query = $query.' a.visible = \'YES\' AND ';}

which should fix it... the above will mean admin can find it on search, but a regular surfer can't.

Take offs are optional, landings are mandatory, unless you get into space, then you have other issues.

not quite... Wink
publish/unpublish
strictly speaking, there shouldn't be an 'unpublish' option.
If something is published, it could be withdrawn (hidden) from public view, but it shouldn't be unpublished.
This then raises the issue of why the publish date isn't altered should someone unpublish an article, then republish...
>>> am I being a tad pedantic??

Honestly, I did wonder too, what the 'hide' feature was for. Pedantic? I often asked myself whether a table row should have two dates:
One for the system and one for the content.

Not really. Like I said, I haven't got a clear idea how I would have solved that "issue". Lets see what the users think about it.

I saw in other CMS's the possibility to restrict articles to any level in a multiuser environment...  is this equal to hidden? I don't think it is...

But publishing? Is a kind of "standard"...  Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, e107, etc. But, don't think at those CMS's, are only few and you can say you have your own rules. Just think at how many users use them and what "publishing" mean for them ...
