A news collaborative app for news professionals

nStock

A system for news item management, i mean the pictures, texts, translations, etc. those bits of info that glued together make the news as you can see on the newspaper site.

In nStock each user has a personal desk. Each new Item is stored on the user personal desktop.

Organizations consist of a set of desk, over which users will have some permissions, for example: view the contents of the desk, send items to the desk or edit the contents of the desk (Items). In this way, several workflows can be represented.

Install

This is a web2py application. Fallow the instructions on web2py book or for testing purposes download web2py and clone this repo in the applications folder in your local web2py instance.

Requirements.

• PIL: you need to install python-pil for image handling.

First time.

The first time the system is used, the site admin will need to give permissions for some users to be able to create organizations. For that, go to appadmin:

http://YOUR.SITE.NAME/nstock/appadmin

And give the permission create_org to the user group.

Change the sharing model

The sharing model - permissive with is the current one - must be change to a copy based model.
The idea is that on share of item A:

2. Item A.1 will be to any extends a replacement of item A and any access to Item A will be translate to the corresponding Item A.1 access.
3. The original author of item A will have only read access to item A.1.
4. The target of the share will be the new owner of the Item.

Update the default item preview

The preview of the item should show this fields if they are different of None or not empty:

When a new item is to be added to the CAST.

add a read all button to the notification area
