Adds button to every post to allow the author (and staff) to give the permission to edit this post to other users, too.
When the plugin got installed and properly added through the post_menu site setting, you'll be able to see this new button on the action bar of your posts:
Clicking it brings up a popup showing the other users that editing was explictly shared with:
To add another user, just start typing their username as you'd also do to mention them:
Which of course also works with group-aliases as you'd expect:
If you configured the site-settings "shared edits allow trust levels" (under "uncategorized"), you will also see a combobox allowing one to select a trust_level that automatically is allowed to edit:
Once you are done, press "save changes" to commit this state to the datasbase. The next time any of them visits your post, they'll also have the possibility to edit this specific post (indicated by the pencil-icon-button in the post menu bar).
Just three simple steps. From your main discourse do:
cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/ligthyear/discourse-plugin-shared-edit.git # clone the repo here
cd ..
RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile
Then restart your discourse.
Now add sharedEdit into the post_menu setting via the Admin-Interface, save and reload the application. Now under every post you are the author of (or if you are staff), you'll find the new "share edit" button. Please read the Details section to understand how to use it.
Enjoy.
This plugin comes with to configuration options, to be found under the uncategorized section in the admin SiteSettings:
They work as follows:
- shared edits allow trust levels: if selected allows users to share the edit permission based on trust levels
- shared edits allow trust levels default: the default trust level for posts without that specification. Default is 99 (only admins), the trust_levels work respectively (0-4). By setting this too 0, you essentially create an always-editable-for-everyone-wiki. Use with caution.
