Other aspects of configuration

The Theme is morphing according to user's permissions
It supports distinctly:

• anonymous users
• authenticated users
• those with page create rights
• those with news create rights
• space admins and global admins

Consider having special groups to denote those who can create content, those who can administer the space and regular users.

Errata

These are known issues to be fixed in future versions:

• Search via "GO" goes to the space search result page which doesn't have space styles applied
• Further search goes to the global search results page
• When in Rich-Text mode comment box does not fit and is rendered with scrollbars
• Anonymous user can still edit pages, blogposts and attachments if one enters the URL directly
• Anonymous add page and add news modes look ugly
• Small shift in rigt-side layout between main and view news page
• Breadcrumbs for posts with long titles look ugly
• Impossible to add Labels to a blogpost without going into an edit mode
