[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] non-visible folders

Thu Mar 29 06:48:29 PDT 2012

The text we have wrote for this option was:

"Hide this folder and enable public access to its contents"

But maybe you can suggest other more accurate. I'm thinking that the word
"public" is not the right one, maybe better "Hide this folder and enable
access to its contents to registered users"

Daniel, please, can you test if the content becomes public (I think no) or
is only accessible to registered users?
I don't remember it right now.

Thanks.

Diego.

Nice functionality! 

But note Stephen Marquard's comment from 4/4/2007 about the terms used:
'hidden' already implies no one can access anything inside the folder. So
this is more like 'secret' - i.e. you can see it, but only if you know how
to get to it.

cheers,
Steve
