TYPO3 Core

The fileadmin (that is the specif mount points) should be available for ALL users in DRAFT not only admins. If not DRAFT is unusable.

it is currently not possible to add filemounts to the default draft workspace. that means: yes, the draft ws is quite unusable for normal users (and access to the draft ws should not be allowed for normal users). But I see no problem with this.

I see a big problem with this. And I don't ask for a fileadmin *module". But I think - and Kasper's quote doen't talk about admins - that the fileadmin should be read-only for ALL users (which have a filemount setting).

You cannot do any reasonable workflow without read-only access to the fileadmin. How is anybody supposed to work in it if she cannot add images and other file resources?!?!?

Right now, preparing content elements with images or other files isn't possible because the fileadmin-tree isn't visible. As Martin already proposed, it should be available but read-only.

A basic read-only file admin could be a hidden File>List but an active Element Browser.

In the Element Browser the "Overwrite existing files" options must be disabled! Uploading of files and creating of folders may be disabled.

This basically makes workspaces unusable for us.

The whole point is to be able to create new collecitons of pages, including images. Even if we had to upload new images / etc. to live workspace (typically these are "new" and have different names..) with RO access inside of a workspace we could at least create the elements.

Essentially, at this point in time, Typo3 workspaces only allow for modifying text content in existing pages!

bump

Just upgraded a TYPO3 installation and came across this bug. I would consider this a major bug, because whats the benefit of workspaces if I can only use it for text only elements???

Martin, are you working on this? Otherwise please unassign the record from you, so we need to find someone else who solves the problem.

It may be important to mention that this does only affect the DRAFT workspace. It's no problem to add filemounts for custom workspaces!

However, you still need to consider that files are not versioned at all!

Fixed with 4.5.0 where the draft workspace will be gone (migrated to a real workspace!)
