[Imc-drupal-dev] hiding articles in Drupal 5.1 - ideas?

[Sebastian]

kia ora koutou...

we at Aotearoa IMC have a test site with Drupal running (again), version
5.1. checkout http://dev.indymedia.org.nz.

does anybody of you have a good idea how to handle the hiding of
articles? at the moment, our prospective process seems rather
tedious:

1) set category to 'hidden'
2) add an HTML snippet to have a big notice in red, saying: 'this
   article is hidden'
3) change the author of the article, so she cannot change itback to
   non-hidden

i reckon it would be nicer to have a content type 'hidden', derived from
page. in case an article has to be hidden, just change its type to
'hidden', all done on behalf of the editor.

alas, i have not found a possibility to switch content types yet. i am
aware that e.g. switching 'image' to 'page' is rather pointless, hence
this feature is not supposed to be found easily.

cheers,
 Sebastian
